I got up in church and said I was quoting Leviticus 18 22 but in reality I just gave a speech about a Big Kahuna burger and drank everyone's Sprite and shot that one guy.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

"For Vance, the press is running the inoculation campaign. They’re laundering the anonymous quotes into news and printing the framing his comms team is handing them. They know what they’re doing. They’re doing it anyway." @parkermolloy.com
Always more lax with GOP politicians than with democrats.
Getting oldnamed in the new pharmacy is just... ugh.
Also, now my meds are a little over 30/month, as opposed to free. Someone tell me how the American healthcare system is "the best in the world" when this is the only western country where healthcare IS NOT CONSIDERED A HUMAN RIGHT???!!!
Hey, y'all. This will be ongoing.
interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists
Jesse Singal: spends an entire decade trying to uncover a massive wave of desisters & detransitioners that never materialized

I've been hesitating about posting this, but despite my full time job, which SHOULD provide enough, it doesn't, so I'm still swallowing my pride, cuz won't get help if you don't ask for it, right?
This is for the final phase of my Intimacy Coordinator education.

Iranian women in 1953 were in college. In the workforce. Gaining rights. Today they are arrested for showing their hair. The United States and Britain overthrew a secular democracy and created the conditions for a theocracy. We are now bombing their universities. This is the receipt.
The Shah's brutal repression torture, secret police, 26 years of autocracy radicalized the very clerics the CIA had empowered. In 1979 Khomeini's revolution swept them all away. The hostage crisis followed. Then sanctions. Then maximum pressure. Then this war. We handed them the match in 1953.
Kermit Roosevelt arrived in Tehran with suitcases of cash. He bribed the press. He hired mobs. He paid clerics who opposed Mosaddegh's secular government. Iranian clergy cooperated because they hated his secularism. The CIA and MI6 used religious conservatives as instruments to destroy a democracy
In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.
Being sick pisses me off, and everything pisses me off while I'm sick.
CNN: "In the initial statement from DHS, they said these two migrants had attacked the ICE agents in Minneapolis with the shovel, but what this video shows is this was not the case ... the two ICE agents made false statements under oath."
ICYMI: @thetimes.com did a nice little profile on me
"I think covering this stuff over the last decade has probably negatively affected my mental health just bc it’s pretty bleak most of the time. But I still get up and feel privileged in some ways to be able to cover historic events for a living."
He provides such a vital service! Very grateful for his news clips.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
God help us.
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
Contact your senators and congressmen RIGHT NOW and demand that america pull out of Iran and end its aggression IMMEDIATLY, and additionally that Trump must be impeached IMMEDIATELY
I dont care if theyre red or blue, call them NOW

It really feels like we are powerless... But if we can do anything, we can call our representatives. I just called mine. Please consider doing the same.

I do not have words to say that haven't already been spoken by others. Please call your reps. Email them. Fax them. Encourage your family and friends to do the same.
And yes I said fax. You can do it for free.

Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country.
Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.
Do I think Trump will actually nuke Iran? No, and if he tried I think it is likelier than not that his generals, etc would refuse such an order. But at the point the President starts threatening to wipe out a people is the point at which you must take his threats seriously.
I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
Here's the number for the congressional switchboard. Please call your reps and senators. This man needs to be removed from office now.
