What the absolute garbage fuck is this, NH. Preventing human beings from using the bathroom legislates away the ability to exist outside the home. You cannot legislate trans people from existence; you can only cause misery and suffering.
1. In a stunning new bill proposed by several New Hampshire republicans, transgender women could be charged with trespass for using the bathroom.
The bill is the first to apply to PRIVATE businesses.
It also ONLY applies to transgender women, not trans men.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

A YIMBY Theory of Power
Pro-housing advocates offer an analysis of class relations that is more sophisticated and has more explanatory power than the one held by many critics of the “abundance agenda.”

I got an MMR vaccine today, because I was originally dosed before 1989. It was easy! No doctor’s visit required in Ohio. If you’re able, please consider getting additional protection and let old-timey diseases stay old-timey.

9/ The tariffs are DESIGNED to create economic hardship. Why? So that Trump has a straight face rationale for releasing them, business by business or industry by industry.
As he adjusts or grants relief, it’s a win-win: the economy improves and dissent disappears.

If you are not willing to be embarrassed, be dragged out of a joint session of Congress, be arrested, put your physical body in danger to defend Democracy, those Trump is targeting, and the Constitution, STEP ASIDE AND LET SOMEONE ELSE LEAD.

I’ve been a “vote blue no matter who” democrat who advocates aggressive organizing no matter the election cycle. I swear if democrats get any more conservative I will never vote for them again.
New: Last month, a group of moderate Democratic consultants, campaign staffers, elected officials & party leaders gathered in Loudoun County, Virginia, for a retreat where they plotted their party’s comeback.

elon musk, the world's richest man, unilaterally deciding that lifesaving relief for children on the verge of starvation is "wasteful" while he personally reaps hundreds of millions from the us government, makes me feel things i cannot write on the internet.
Awful: Delivery of life saving treatment to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids abroad is in doubt amid USAID firings, the product's manufacturers tell me.
The treatment is a paste made of peanuts, milk and sugar for kids on edge of starvation.

It's kind of amazing that we showed we could cut child poverty in half for roughly 100 billion/year (absolute peanuts in a 7 trillion dollar budget), did it for a year, and then just stopped doing it.
The food security report is out, and it's bad news: 13.5% of households were food insecure in 2023, up from 12.8% in 2022. This is what happens when you abruptly end "pandemic" supports that should have been there all along.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.
