    the headline makes it sound like they chose to do this but in reality it was because the courts made them because the original decision was unconstitutional. :)

      Deep down I knew there was no chance it wasn’t forced. They’re actively ignoring other court orders so I guess even these evil fucks sometimes realize to pick their battles.

        They’re fully aware most of their policies are going to get shot down in court, that’s why they’re carpet bombing the US with bullshit right now.

        If we all breath a sigh of relief that some new policy to force toddlers to work in slaughterhouses got shot down, we’re likely missing the 30 odd, convoluted deregulation policies that slip right past the new cycle because they’re written in legalese and seem abstract to 99% of non-wealthy Americans.

        I don’t know how many times I can scream that they’re robbing us blind while distracting us with stupid cultural nonsense.

          Oh I know. Climate change is getting accelerated as fuck right now. And so many other things you cannot even know what to be most concerned about

            Things could be so much better, but on a few occasions I have been pleased to see that even Trump can’t stop environmental progress. Coal will never be big again, and renewables are still the best way to fix rising utility prices; in large part because of what Democratic presidents have built over decades. Pro-environment groups are still doing their damnedest even in a hostile administration.

    Some rare good news.

    I’ve maintained that as a serving member, regarding your gender identity, I don’t care, the enemy doesn’t care and the incoming fire sure as shit don’t care.

      Nailed it.

      Just look at Barrack “Black Drone Operator” Obama, and Joe “Sniff Sniff” Biden who is a blatant Zionist who acted chocked and insulted when he was called a Palestinian (I believe by Trump). Both supporting the violent occupation of Palestine, of course.

    As someone who’s competed against all manner of genders in roller derby, lemme tell you, trans people are tough as nails and you want them fighting for America. The USA men’s team for the RD World Cup even has a trans-man, and they beat out 50 biological men for that spot.

      Trans men are (or can be) biologically male. The best term to use for ‘non-trans’ men would be cisgender men. ‘Biological’ is the preferred term that bigots use to spread misinformation and insinuate that trans people aren’t real, natural, or equal.

      Someone else said it pretty well:

      Biological sex is a construct. It is based on the observable traits of:

      • Primary sexual characteristics
      • Secondary sexual characeristics
      • Gonadal Sex
      • Chromosomal Sex

      A fully medically transitioned trans person usually matches a majority of these, so it is totally reasonable to say trans women are biologically female, and trans men are biologically male. Generally, the binary categorization of sex is scientifically unsound; it should be understood as a spectrum.

    Why did this happen? Where did a random W come from? Everything is falling apart and no one is doing anything about it and we just get a W out of nowhere from nothing? How do we do it again

      A lot of people are doing a lot about it. Might be time to step away from the Internet if you really believe that. The reality is dark enough you don’t need to make it out to be even worse

        I’m not talking about protests though. how do you expect me to hear about it if I step away from the internet? local newspaper? what an irritating comment. can you please say something actually helpful? i was asking a genuine question and i got this bitchy response from you, i really don’t appreciate that. if a lot of people are doing things, how about you tell me any single thing rather than just fucking insult me??? who’s making it worse here?

          If you don’t see how those statements contradict each other, were already done here

          just fucking insult me

          Calm down. You clearly aren’t doing well, it’s a genuine suggestion that I myself need to do more often. Which is also why I’m not engaging with you anymore that this
