All this will do is increase, dramatically, the suicide rate among trans kids.
Societies should be judged by how well they take care of their most vulnerable members. The United States in 2025 continues to fail this test.

No, Mr. Bart DeWever, this is nothing but a Russian narrative.
What deal are you talking about? The Russian plan that amounts to Ukraine's capitulation and will herald a full-scale war on Europe?
Did you forget the hundreds of thousands murdered by Russia?

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

In 2016, I got death threats when I posted about Katie Johnson on Twitter.
Johnson is the woman who says she was raped by Trump when she was only 13 years old.
I watched the entirety of her video testimony and found it credible, which I say as someone who has worked with CSA survivors for decades.

The National Enquirer tried to catch and kill the Katie Johnson story. Then they got ahead of it in an attempt to discredit her. And many of us bought it—hook, line, and sinker katemanne.substack.com/p/they-tried...

Tariffs are taxes. When Trump levies new taxes on Americans without any approval by Congress and then talks about giving some of it back, that's not a "reward" – it's a scam.
Tom Emmer on tariff checks to Americans: "You gotta love this president. He looks at this like a business, and when the business is doing well, the shareholders, which are the American people, should be rewarded."

Ce qui m’énerve : ce snobisme du vieux continent à toujours percevoir ce qu’il se passe aux US comme un truc « excessif » qui ne nous touchera jamais. Alors que toute l’histoire montre que ce qui impacte la 1ère démocratie occidentale augure immanquablement ce qui nous touchera qqes années + tard.

3) Donors make huge profit
