@davidharsanyi I’m sure @MattWalshBlog is in favor of letting in a lot more Mexicans to do farm work to help reduce grocery prices, right?

@nickgillespie These same people oppose voter ID laws because marginalized people are less likely to be able to easily get official identification. But suddenly those marginalized people will have ID to shop at the city grocery stores? How does that work?

If you don’t think he’s a woman, you’re transphobic. When he claimed to be a woman, he became a woman. He now belongs in women’s changing rooms, bathrooms, hospital wards, prison cells and rape support centres.

If you try and differentiate between him and a trans woman who looks more convincing as a woman, you are promoting patriarchal beauty norms. If you admit to seeing an aggressive and possibly unbalanced man in this video, you’re saying all trans people are mentally ill predators. If you refuse to let him into female-only spaces, you’re removing his right to exist. If you suggest he could comfortably use male facilities, you secretly want him assaulted. If you refuse to call him ‘she’, you are guilty of unpardonable cruelty. If you’re a woman who wouldn’t want to share a locker room with him, or a man who wouldn’t want your daughter, sister or mother to get undressed in close proximity to him, you belong to the far-right. If you point out that there is no objective difference between his claim to be a woman and that of any other biological male claiming a trans identity, you are too stupid to understand the circular arguments explaining why he’s not really trans whereas other men who say they’re women are really trans.

If you’re righteous, you must argue that this man’s self-declared identity overrides any consideration of the safety and rights of females. To be godly, you must agree he’s as ‘valid’ as every other trans woman, because people are who they say they are. No matter what your eyes, ears and common sense are telling you, if you don’t want to end up on the wrong side of history, you must pretend to believe that this angry, intimidating man is actually a vulnerable, oppressed woman.

I know I'm annoyingly repetitive on this:

But this country is completely unprepared for what happens when $200 trillion in projected 30-year budget deficits combine with persistently rising interest rates.

Ease up. How is the government supposed to know that Ivory Coast isn’t landlocked?

Was that wrong? Should she not have done that?

A Wisconsin woman is facing more than 20 criminal charges after prosecutors say she shot a 12-year-old boy during a dispute over children selling bottled water, then led police on a high-speed chase with four children in her SUV.

@tracewoodgrains I genuinely think this is a load-bearing argument. Worth checking.

@dansenor Thank you for having Tal Becker on. His is a rare combination of deep knowledge, deep wisdom, and deep compassion. He probably doesn't want to be Prime Minister, but can we appoint him to be Israel's Prime Conscience?
