@RandPaul how can you support the Big Bill that's going to close rural hospitals in Kentucky? Let alone add to the national debt to the tune of trillions?
@41voted@LucienGreaves@CarmenLSatanica @InfernalZoey If you walked away, why brigade on Lucien's thread? What are you doing to fix the problem for LGBTQIA+ people? Would I be safe in assuming that you're not engaging with David; that his views about trans healthcare are wrong and against science?
@41voted Because conflating opinion with action is the foolishness that says punching Nazis in the face makes them no longer a Nazi. Are you really that dumb?
@41voted@LucienGreaves@CarmenLSatanica @InfernalZoey Same can be said about death penalty, abortion rights, religous police, slavery, fascism, etc. How many Nazis have you swayed by punching them in the face?
Slurs aim to hurt and denigrate.
Gender is an identity independent of sex-based characteristics.
Cisgender means assigned sex at birth aligns with gender.
Transgender means assigned sex at birth differs from gender.
If you aren’t trans, you are cis.
Not a slur. A fact.
BREAKING: AOC just called out Kevin McCarthy, and did not hold back.
She said Kevin McCarthy is a "deeply unserious leader who diminishes the House" by "indulging in stunts.”
Is she right, or DAMN RIGHT? 👇
I don't agree with AOC on everything, but I'll tell you what. I would rather have her as leader ANY day over Kevin McCarthy.
She fights for the people. Kevin McCarthy only fights for one man — Donald J. Trump.
When we flip the House back, should McCarthy be censured?
FFRF is calling on the Davis School District to return banned books to school shelves after a vote that would keep the Bible in lower grade libraries. By banning classics and allowing the bible to stay, the district is engaging in viewpoint discrimination.

McCarthy is a spiteful coward who punishes anyone who successfully exposes his weak leadership, Trump’s crimes and stands up to his lies.
It’s beneath the dignity of Congress to vengefully go after @AdamSchiff because he hurt Trump’s feelings.
This is a pathetic way to govern.
@ValkyrieLadyK @RomanticSlob @christapeterso Man was originally gender neutral.
Per etymology online:
Old English used wer and wif to distinguish the sexes, but wer began to disappear late 13c. and was replaced by man. Universal sense of the word remains in mankind and manslaughter.
@heyjenbartel@KittenBalerion Totally agree. Imagine living in a world where people could engage in work that they found enjoyable without fear of starving, homelessness, or illness. We might have to pay more for the less desirable, harder jobs instead of the other way around.
@mtcolucci@CalltoActivism If the world doesn't agree that I'm one of a kind, that's the world's problem, not mine. I'm the one that succeeds or fails in my life.
It's too bad you don't seem to have this level of self esteem, what have you missed out on as a result?
@41voted@LucienGreaves@CarmenLSatanica @InfernalZoey People are demanding a Satanist, let me reiterate, a Satanist, act according to how they want and don't see the disconnect?
Also, civility and compassion grant the ability to disagree and still remain friendly. Tribalism has given us the current political climate.
@LucienGreaves@satan4congress The overthrow of the divine right of kings and instituting a secular government is truly satanic. The theocrat just wants their person that "speaks for god" in charge which is just a variant on the above divine right.
Cis and cisgender are not slurs, and I will continue to use them where appropriate.
The free speech absolutist seems to be all about speech policing nowadays.
