Small write-up of the last 20 mins of the video: (because I need to go do laundry lol)

If you must converse with a fascist:

Principle 1: Stay on message. Maintain control of the conversation. State plainly what is at stake, what they are doing, and don't allow them to change the subject. "What you are doing/saying is hurting people. Stop being an asshole."

Principle 2: If you're explaining, you're losing. Just. Call. Bullshit. Make them explain why it's not.

Principle 3: Fascists by definition are hateful losers. Do not think otherwise. Do not allow themselves to hide or run away or change the subject. Call them hateful. Call them losers. Call them weird. Publicly.

edit: forgor a word

Extra good news: "Just in! A second huge ruling for transgender people! The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just DENIED the government's motion for a stay in the trans military ban case. The government CANNOT enforce it's ban on transgender people in the military still. BIG day for pro-transgender rulings. "

It's rough and tough out here. If I knew I was going to be illegal as a kid I would've been so hyped for what crimes I did, but apparently just existing is one ahaha.

Based on mention:

• Wisconsin: Milwaukee, Madison
• Missouri: Kansas City, St. Louis
• Ohio: Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati
• Kentucky: Louisville
• Arizona: Tuscon, Phoenix
• Nevada: Las Vegas
• Utah: Salt Lake City
• Michigan: Grand Rapids, Detroit

I do recommend Sunshine's listed resources to look at as well:

That makes a lot of sense, at least with what I know about medical stuff (which isn't a ton I'm just a nerd). I'm allergic to red meat and haven't eaten it in several years. Used to crave it like crazy but had an accidental taste a few months ago and it tasted like actual shit.

That's so interesting! I'll have to ask my sis if the same thing happens to her (also trans in the opposite direction lol)

Thank you friend. Unfortunately because of how deep red my state and how stupid the UK is with this stuff I'm stuck. Just hunkering down and preparing for the worst.

Wish I could lol. Broke as shit and I can't just leave my family behind. Unfortunately to get Real ID I have to provide my citizenship documents but those are in my deadname + birth sex and I can't get them fixed without a baseline of $1k (have to pay for at least 2 private doctors in the UK to verify I am my chosen gender, plus court fees and 18+ months processing time).

im a dual citizen myself but cant get my passports because im trans 🙃 that and broke as hell but still. id get stopped at the border because a guy with a fullass beard with a 'F' on their passport is considered fraud.

Thank you admins for your diligence when it comes to things like this (esp in regards to CSAM).

All this reminds me of is that video of that guy who's friend "upgraded" his shower pressure. And it was just one hyper-powerful stream out of the whole shower head. Wish I had a link.

I'm really good at smelling food and when it's about to go off. If my nose even picks up a hint of rot that's all I can smell. It's really bad right now because our fridge died so everything smells like carcass in the house right now (even though it's gone).
