It sucks, it really, truly, absolutely is totally unfair: but the only way out is through. We can, and must, take a break if needed, throw a tantrum, and/or scream into the face of eternity. Necessary to refocus our inner strength and to pick the fight back up, and trudge forward a few more steps.

We really need to get USians to grok that our education through HS, is basic learning. That introduces us to concepts, inspires curiosity to pursue new learning in fuller detail and enrichment? That education doesn't abruptly end with a HS diploma! School is how we learn, not the sum of knowledge.

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

Seeing people deflate when I explain simple facts of my reality bums me out.

Vent

"No, I can't go on that cruise to Italy with you, because I'm struggling to get a passport that doesn't put me in danger. I'm scared I might have trouble getting home."

"Yes, I'm looking at other job opportunities/leaving my position working at school, which I love so much. It's becoming unsafe for people like me to work with children 
- I got a death threat the other day."

"Will the doctor/therapist/etc. you're recommending be safe for someone like me?"

"Before I meet your parents, I need to know if they know about me. Will I be safe?"

"I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state for your wedding and need to use the restroom at the venue, I'm sorry."

Seeing it actually register on people's faces that this is my life- that these policies are real and affect real people they know and love- is a really bitter pill. On one hand, it's sad to have to break such depressing news. And on the other hand, it feels so isolating and infuriating that people who love me apparently have no clue any of this is happening unless I take the time to inform them.

Just needed to get that out. Thanks for listening.

So what did Trump's threat-which would have been a massive war crime
—actually accomplish? It's exclusively negative. As Bill Kristol writes:
Trump's war has further shaken any confidence our allies might still have in us. It will be seen as confirmation that Trump's United States of America has become just another rogue nation in the international arena, if a less disciplined and cunning one than Putin's Russia or Xi's China.
Kristol is referring to the overall war's impact, but Trump's threat of civilizational erasure is also a factor in ensuring these outcomes. That the American president eagerly vowed to obliterate a nation of 93 million is bad enough. On top of that, the U.S. political system appeared utterly powerless to stop it-largely because one of our major parties revealed that it will not step up even when its leader threatens unthinkably massive war crimes and even genocide.Brian Butler points out that Republicans who wouldn't challenge Trump's maniacal designs got lucky that he blinked. Next time, they might not be so lucky—and neither might we. Indeed, it's also worth asking what sort of dispiriting toll this glimpse of our profound powerlessness in the face of Trump's madness will take on the millions of Americans who find the idea of their country threatening such wanton, indiscriminate destruction extremely troubling, which surely includes a lot of ordinary Republicans.
One can hope that this galvanizes millions into voting against the GOP in the midterms—and it probably will help-but translating this into serious checks against a rerun of this insanity is a tall order. That, too, is a painful realization to endure.

Once again, for clarity. Trump is a monster, but his power lies completely within the unflagging support of GOP controlled Congress and Senate, as well as the courts of Fed and Appeals, and even our US Supreme Court. Our utterly failed Justice system, our political sytem, our politics for purchase

This question is weirdly hard, bc the starting place itself is a result of anti-trans propganda shaping the debate. Trans surgeries, for all ages, are vastly rarer than hormone therapy only, which is itself rarer than social adjustments alone. Youth trans surgeries are *incredibly* rare.

DON.
LEMON
SHOW
STATEMENT FROM ABBE LOWELL,
ATTORNEY FOR DON LEMON
Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable. There is no more important time for people like Don to be doing this work.
Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.

(There is a black and white bust of Lemon at the bottom holding out a yellow microphone either DL on its body.)
