My heart goes out to all the trans people.
I don't get this at all, you're just trying to live. I love you folks, I do my best to be an ally, I wish I could do more.
Scapegoating and distraction. The MAGAts always have to have someone to hate. Trans and immigrants are just the flavor of the week.
So, do we call the United States Nazi yet or is it too soon?
Definitely not too soon. Too soon for the weak ass media probably, but we need to admit to ourselves what it is.
I been saying it since November 9th. And check out my profile pic. It's a Washington Nationals baseball cap. You don't just do that. I'm deeply entrenched in this American nightmare. The 60% of Americans who are eligible to vote and do elected for a nazi government. The remaining 40% thought a nazi government was no worse or better than the status quo. So basically 30% of this country are Nazis, 30% can be reasonably assumed to probably not be nazis (though lord knows some of them apparently are) and the remaining 40% are so goddamn unaware of the nazis that they're willing to stand idly by while nazis do nazi stuff

The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States
It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere"
I don’t see much point in visiting the US when TSA under republicans could prevent you from going back home.
I would advise against it
Ever since TSA was created I have been reluctant to visit the USA, it's not nice being treated like a criminal when you visit a country as a tourist.
And now it's worse...
Super great that he was unanimously confirmed. Very excellent and good.

It's cool that one bigot can do that.
Just goes to show you, don't let your dreams just be dreams.
Surely there's a library book somewhere on Russian mixology, I've always wanted to learn how they make cocktails over there.
