Looking at Project 2025 as individual proposals misses the forest for the trees. Its overall goal to centralize absolute executive power, overriding the Constitution, makes it essentially an attack on the country.

That’s a false equivalence. Objecting to a specific treatment with significant developmental and psychological side effects isn't the same as opposing routine prescriptions like insulin or SSRIs. Different interventions carry fundamentally different risk-benefit profiles.

In the US your doctor makes a profit on a lifetime of treatment for trans patients, and thus certain ethical considerations *may* not get the emphasis they deserve. In countries with what you’d call single-payer the pressures on ethics are not the same.

That much is obvious. It’s “how?” that she failed to convey. Is she afraid to tell us what he accused her of?

I can’t be sure what she’s talking about. I get that she’s angry, but this is poor communication. How about telling us what happened in order, calmly?

Don’t exaggerate. There are immigrant problems: • They can’t work for over 6 months. (Could you survive 6 months upaid?) • The amount of processing for each person is inflated unnecessarily (No real threat would tell the truth anyway). Just take/check biometrics and let them in.

I’d rather have Universal Basic Income for billions than AI working for billionaires. Without UBI, as AI takes the jobs, entire industries that rely on working people having income will collapse and the economy will implode. Billions will starve.

A lot of attention has been given to the “Free Pussy” message that was sent, but that’s the message campus police systems that protect perpetrators instead of victims send all the time. Abolish campus accessories after the fact.
