What news are you referring to, specifically?

Putting aside the fact that racist people would say the same about this black politician, how’s this acceptable discourse for civilized society? If some rando on twitter said this, they’d get FBI at their door.

Maybe this will increase voter turnout for people who want to see Trump get sentenced and not avoid his sentence

Reach out to your representatives and ask them what they’re doing about it, then tell your family and friends and ask them to reach out to their representatives

The word fag needs to be taken back from the haters. My first encounter with it was in the context of cigarettes.

Just be careful that you’re both designating each other as a beneficiary on any insurance, 401K/other retirement vehicles, or other assets (stocks, bonds, housing, accounts etc). If she’s not legally your spouse, she’s not going to be automatically entitled to any assets if she’s widowed or vice versa.

You both may also want to have a will or power of attorney clause given to each other in case of medical issues which prevent someone from communicating their own will. Family members get the right to act on behalf of their family, but they can’t do anything to help or protect if they’re not legally related in some way. Some places have clauses for common law spouses, but not all do, and not for all circumstances.

I am interested in knowing if I am wrong, would be cool to see published results which can prove any of these ideas

He/She rule (www.nytimes.com)
 

The Israelites took the transgender trope from their surrounding cultures and wove it into their own sacred scripture. The four-Hebrew-letter name of God, which scholars refer to as the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, was probably not pronounced “Jehovah” or “Yahweh,” as some have guessed. The Israelite priests would have read the letters in reverse as Hu/Hi — in other words, the hidden name of God was Hebrew for “He/She.” Counter to everything we grew up believing, the God of Israel — the God of the three monotheistic, Abrahamic religions to which fully half the people on the planet today belong — was understood by its earliest worshipers to be a dual-gendered deity.

If depression is the emotional expression of the immobilization response, then the solution is to move out of that state of defense. Porges believes it is not enough to simply remove the threat. Rather, the nervous system has to detect robust signals of safety to bring the social state back online. The best way to do that? Social connection.

For people who don’t prefer social connection, I’ve seen that exercise works well

Edit: just want to highlight that polyvagal theory, the main point behind this article, is unsubstantiated thus far

It can go either way, and if Trump wins it wouldn’t be a surprise, https://www.realclearpolling.com/elections/president/2024/battleground-states

 
 
 

I am not sure, but I wonder if it would help to bring this up to more congress representatives to take action in some form, sooner rather than later. I know many officials are working on attempting to fight back against electoral college rigging, but many regular U.S. voters are blissfully unaware that this is even an issue.

Everything in the article is already happening,
