No Hate in WA State @nohateinwastate.bsky.social · 19h
I-638 discriminates against girls and puts them at risk of harm. Over 100 WA pediatricians, family doctors and nurses say I-638’s new sex inspection requirements will force them to conduct medically unnecessary and potentially harmful tests on girls. Vote NO on I-638 when your ballot arrives.
A screenshot of a news article from KOMO News is on a pale orange background. The header image is a high school girls soccer team huddling on the field in sky blue uniforms. The article’s headline states: What’s at stake: voters to decide on girls’ sports issue this November. The excerpt from the article reads: "We're putting the burden on girls (who want to play sports) as a justification for this witch-hunt to find trans girls who want to play sports with their friends," she said. "It's really incredibly unfair." In fact, Hipp said she does not believe that this initiative is about girls' safety at all.“ A dark orange footer says “Vote No on I-638.”

“But Toad,” said Frog, “I AM happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up, I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you for a friend. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think about how fine everything is.”
Frog exclaims to Toad that he is happy.

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

Started a business with my wife's family. It's worked out great - my brother in-law farms land he owns, my wife works for herself, I get free vegetables... I've known a lot of similar situations that have ended friendships and families.

One last thing: I often see people saying things like ‘never talk to the police without a lawyer’ and a lot of people don’t have lawyers and are like, what should I do? The answer is that you should not talk to the police at all.

To exist in America in this era is to suffer a near constant deluge of the most absurd insults to our collective intelligence and to know both that you are completely powerless to stop it; and that it will, for certain, only get more absurd and insulting, every single day, until something snaps.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

If you are: -a leftist -who does not like the DNC -and lives in a red district -that is rural or suburban I encourage you to check out your local Dems and maybe get involved. Red districts are often ignored by national Dems; you may have more influence to push left locally than you think.
