Yeah, that’s probably a fair assumption

Isn’t divorce only a sin for Catholics who don’t get it annulled? I thought divorce was more acceptable among Protestants

Yep, binding Mullvad as the network interface should do it!

Throwing trans people under the bus isn’t going to get the Republicans out of office. The Democrats in NC who caved on trans rights just got walloped in the primaries. Even if you don’t care about trans rights (and I think we should all care), trying to chase the mythical moderate like this is not an effective strategy to getting elected.

No, autocorrect usually changes a hyphen to an em dash for me

I will use them and not feel bad about it. I will not let AI take them from me

No way Oklahoma’s governor is going to appoint a Democrat though

Is that common? I was kicked off the SAVE plan, so I had to re-enroll in an older IBR plan

Jayapal and Markey are both long-time progressives without presidential ambitions, so I actually trust that they’re sincere on this one. I don’t know anything about Jacobs.

Any centrists like Newsom who think they might get the mythical moderate Republican vote by throwing trans people under the bus? I agree, I don’t trust an inch

Let them be alienated. Trans rights are human rights, and they’re non-negotiable. Trans people are such a small minority, our rights depend on cis allies being vocal advocates, even when it isn’t easy. Social progress has never happened by backing away from an issue conservatives are mad about and waiting for them to change their minds and come around.

Everything is a distraction from everything else. I doubt any specific catastrophe is planned, particularly as a distraction, but the cumulative effect is deliberate. The faster they go and the more chaotic everything gets, the harder it is to stay focused to stop them. See Bannon’s “muzzle velocity” theory

Having fun, isn’t hard

So should they just stay in a job they know is wrong?

In the US, you usually only get paid time off if you’re in a full-time, salaried position. Even then, most people only get two or three weeks, and it accrues over time, so you have to save it up for winter holidays, etc

Margaret Thatcher has a grave site in every home in America?!

Find ways to be anywhere but that environment as much as possible. Volunteer for something, join a club or sports team, or just hang out at the library. Being out of that environment will help you clear your mind. Use that time to start making plans to create your own safe place where you can exist independently. It might take time to get there, depending on the resources available to you, but small steps over time add up.
