Y’all want to see how cowardly the American police are?

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

It costs taxpayers $89,425 to incarcerate one person at Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” per year.

That’s more than what 95% of Americans spend on housing and food.

Republican priorities: Waste tax dollars torturing immigrants, while cutting support for working class families.

The rest of the world now realizes that the US empire can no longer police the world

Financially, logistically, or militarily

From Vietnam to Ukraine, Washington DC is now the Washington Generals

It feels like the only people on earth who don't realize this are the American political class

The news anchors would have you believe we can defend Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. It is delusional.

Defensively, we are still an impenetrable powerhouse if we choose to be.

2024 is really the last chance to change course

If the political class won't help us prepare for this inevitability, then it is up to each of us to prepare accordingly

Strap in. It's gonna be a rough ride

@EndWokeness You all have no sense of morality lmao. Homicide is OK so long as I disagree with the victim’s ideologies.

This is James Freeman.

James is a warrior for free speech and government accountability. His specialty is attending court hearings and exposing the corruption he finds.

He's built quite a following over the years. In fact, if you aren't following him already on YouTube, you should.

Well, earlier this year, he was attending a hearing in Estancia, New Mexico. The hearing officer demanded that James leave, and threatened to have him arrested.

James later found out that, soon after he left, the officer had given illegal orders to other people in the court, so he got a recording of the proceedings, went to the court, and confronted the officer about it.

He then put all of it on his YouTube channel for the public to see.

Months later, James got a notice that he was being tried for contempt of court, despite the fact that he had committed no crimes and followed every order given.

So, James sued the entire district court, including judges, clerks, administrators.

Everyone. He sued them all.

The judge who was supposed to preside over his trial was named in the suit, so she had to recuse herself.

No other judge took up the case. If they had, James would just add them to his suit, and they'd have to recuse themselves too.

Soon after, the hearing was vacated.

James' lawsuit against them is still proceeding.

Like I said, the man is a warrior.

The NAACP has issued a travel advisory in Florida.

The travel advisory has been issued due to what they say are Governor Ron DeSantis' actions to erase Black history and restrict diversity programs in schools.

The advisory states that Florida is openly hostile towards African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals, and warns travelers to understand the state's devaluation and marginalization of these communities.

What do you think? Is this 100% politically driven or does the NAACP have a point?

Are DeSantis’ regressive policies a bad look for an American state?

[STANIMAL @stanimal1221]

@GovRonDeSantis So lowering a death penalty threshold to 8/4 is leaving it in better shape?

Gender-affirming Care in Children - My opinion (please read & debate)

Let's envision a scenario: You are a parent of a 13-year-old male child who constantly has said since early childhood that they feel as if they were meant to be a girl and insists they will be a girl when they grow up. If you aren't biased against transgenderism, you will have to debate what the right thing to do for that child is.

Your two main options are as follows:
(1) Hope that these feelings change and they outgrow them.
(2) Visit with a pediatrician and a child psychologist to find out if your child has gender dysphoria and to discuss the possible use of puberty blockers. note: Puberty blockers usually have no lasting side effects.

If you decide on option (1), you may still elect to speak to a pediatrician and a psychologist. Let's say that both of these individuals tell you that it is unlikely that your child will outgrow these feelings, and that puberty blockers are a good, safe way to prolong their options with very little chance of longterm side effects.

You then weigh the following:
A) Allow your child to start puberty blockers to extend the runway for an ultimate decision.
B) Allow puberty to kick in, ensuring that a future transition to a transgender woman will be much less successful, and most likely cause your child to live a life in a body that they feel they don't belong in.

As a parent who cares about their child, and whose ultimate goal is to see your child have longterm happiness and acceptance of who they are, you elect to start the puberty blockers until they are 15 or 16. At this point, you (along with a doctor and psychologist) need to decide on whether or not they should start hormone therapy to begin transitioning, or stop puberty blockers and let the male hormones turn them into a man.

This is a super tough decision for parents. At this age the vast majority of teenagers know which gender they ultimately want to identify as and those who transition typically don't live to regret that decision (not everyone; there are a very small percentage that changes their minds later in life). So as parent you must decide what is best for your child: Let them transition and look more feminine in the long run, or allow the male hormones to kick in, ultimately masculinizing your child permanently against their wishes.

Both options result in permanent changes to your child. In this case, either puberty gives them permanent male traits or hormones give them permanent female traits.

It's a tough decision for parents who have no bias against transgenderism, who truly love their children and only want them to be happy in the long run. To some the idea might seem insane or ridiculous but that's not how every parent feels when it comes down to it.

So ask yourself if the government should ultimately make this decision or should a parent, along with their child, a pediatrician and a psychologist make that decision? I believe it's the latter.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

And for the record I am strictly against sex change surgeries for anyone under 18 years of age and don't know where I would stand on hormone therapy if it was my child. But I do know I don't want someone else making that decision for us based on political motives.
