Clearly the Trump administration intends to prosecute doctors and hospitals for providing gender affirming care. Their long term goal is to eradicate trans people and they are well on their way.

The Trump administration has revoked more than $12 million in grants for California’s pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections prevention program, accusing the state of “promoting gender ideology” in the initiative.

Pay attention to what just happened in Texas. A lone state rep decided the GOP’s demand that she sign a "permission slip’" allowing police surveillance was a step too far. She refused to leave the chamber—and her small act of defiance has lit up the state and the nation. My write-up in the replies.

This is bullshit. Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping. Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel. (Anaheim, CA)

It’s human nature to have certain biases, and to be influenced by the country or religion or political orientation you’ve grown up with. Journalists are not immune from that influence. Truth be told, there has never been a totally neutral media. I wish we had more factual and consistent reporting.

But don't forget Iran in the 1950s, when a secular and democratic government wanted a fair price for their oil. Britain and the US re-installed the Shah as tyrant. And the fool thought that religious hard-liners were harmless. Later they did simialr things in Afghanistan. Crooked and foolish.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook
An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.
