can I just say as a cis male how weird it is how everyone forgets trans men exist and that everything they say that applies to trans women also applies to trans men. I’m surprised how no one has ever brought up a 14th amendment equal protection clause argument against these laws because clearly the the intent of the laws and the language of these laws was written exclusively for trans women.
and then there are the opposite cases, where in order to comply with the law, manly masculine men would be forced to use the women’s restrooms.
you know, with women.
especially the easily frightened at everything because they have been societally coddled and protected for the entire history of this country white women.
i don’t know. I’m not ever going to personally deal with that, but I think that if all trans people were going to comply with these idiotic and pointless laws that don’t protect the people they are written to protect the trans women probably would have it easier than trans men. I really don’t see too many men being seriously traumatized seeing a woman in the men’s room (especially when cis females have used men’s rooms with men in them regularly at places like concert venues when the line to the women’s room is long or too far away).
but then again I don’t really give a shit, just flush and wash your hands.
so how are we going to pay for it? where are we going to get the money?
I’m also in kentucky. I may save $25 but that’s only because of my investments that aren’t much and are getting smaller by the day.
they are doing this when the federal government is slashing disbursements to the states, especially the funds that those very same southern and very republican states rely on.
i honestly hope they do it. because it’s going to jack up property taxes and sales taxes to sky high levels. you thought southern states were old and homogeneous now. wait until the next generation can’t afford housing, can’t pay for the basics, can’t even find poor poverty wage jobs, and have no social safety net to catch them because social safety nets is soshulizm and communust.
there’s anti union as in “we think they’re a nuisance but we are tolerating them” and anti union as in “we are going to do everything in our power, legally and otherwise to make sure a union does not form or actively work to break the union that is in existence now”, companies like amazon and walmart and starbucks. if costco is anti union they are definitely not the second from what I’ve seen.
costco being anti union is news to me. especially since they are very loudly not dropping their dei program.
this is excellent news.
the public already hates him. and by wrapping his arms fully around the republicans the people will hate them both even more.
the smart ones are. the cultists are wrapping themselves in nationalism patriotism. the rest are just terminally unaware and don’t vote.
how about we just axe the white house correspondent entirely since they a) won’t stand up for their colleagues and b) won’t stand up to this administration or else they lose access.
the primary reason I stopped watching cable news since the election is the press being less than limp, weak, and feckless when it comes to anything dealing with republicans but somehow find their spines when a democrat is involved.
in other words, this is a reason for the workers to unionize.
I never had any issues finding toilet paper when I went to the store when I needed to get more. and things got better when stores started enforcing limits.
the party wins by following a simple 2 point plan:
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that democrats in special elections way overperform than in general elections lately.
that’s funny. as far as the government is concerned if you aren’t in a specialized position and are just doing a job you’re just an irrelevant face in the crowd who doesn’t matter. your positions were going to be the first to be slashed outright. and he told y’all that. and you voted for him anyway.
my concepts of sympathy for you.
SHUT THE FUCK UP ADDISON. YOU ENABLED THIS.
sincerely your constituent
fun fact addison has weak, really moist hands. I should know, I shook his head in college.
i don’t think there’s anything more pathetic than a self-hating member of a minority. log cabin republicans support the very people who would see them tortured, mentally abused, or even better dead.
just because you may be an lgbt doesn’t mean that you are part of the community. skinfolk ain’t necessarily kinfolk.
it’s not government tyranny unless a democrat is president. duh,
good.
more than half of the electeds need to go from all sorts of issues from stabbing biden in the back to push him out to voting to censure rep al green to voting for all of trump’s cabinet picks. the party is rotten and necrotic at the head and it’s dragging the entire country down.
how do we know elon is just an idiot with a lot of money and an inverse amount of sense?
he wants to open dealerships in wisconsin in this political climate he created himself and expects people to buy his substandard cars.
what hogg is doing is wrong and destructive enough to irreparably splinter the party. it’s bad enough that he might be voluntold to resign.
but what carville is talking about doing is stupid moronic and only puts his name in the news again. he’s not only got no standing, he’d be laughed out of court.
in a vacuum what hogg is doing is fine. but the vice president of the party is never the appropriate person to do that. the party is responsible for getting more democrats. if the democrats in office are not doing the job or made for the current moment it’s up to the local grassroots orgs and activists to recruit, fundraise, organize, and turn out primary voters for better democrats. the party has no business getting involved in any democratic primary unless there is an obvious planted republican stalking horse involved.
and if the local folks back in the district cannot or will not find a quality qualified candidate to run, that’s in them not the national party.
