Two by Jon Favreau, a reply by Alejandra Caraballo, and another reply by Jon Favreau Jon Favreau (@jonfavs.bsky.social): > I'm always willing to have civil discussions with anyone. I haven't spoken to anyone contemplating an unlawful border crossing, and I don't believe any undocumented inmates have petitioned for gender-affirming surgery (but the law has long required federal prisons to provide gender-affirming care). --- Jon Favreau (@jonfavs.bsky.social): > My opinions on these issues are formulated by a decade of working in politics and policy as well as extensive research into public opinion, some of which I've conducted myself. --- Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net): > Have you considered talking to people who know what they're actually talking about instead of just forming opinions based on vibes and a finger in the wind. --- Jon Favreau (@jonfavs.bsky.social): > That is not how I form my opinions, as I stated quite clearly in the very post you're replying to.
