Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Up until current threats, it at least felt like we had consistent improvements. I was able to get on estrogen via informed consent from planned parenthood a month before the election.
Between threats to passports and my jobs closeness to the government, updating documents, or even just having those prescriptions, could put my job or ability to flee in jeopardy.
I have officially stopped HRT and started using sublingual oil I order w/ crypto via TOR.
Our home brewers are wonderful, but as far as I can tell as someone looking to brew for personal use, most raws come from stores that mostly sell gear to jarheads, stealth shipped in from China. (Granted reputable ones test clean.)
If that hadn't happened I'd be looking at updating my birth certificate this year.
But hey at least I'm not one of the ladies stuck in a men's federal prison where the forced "psychiatric experiments" (conversion 'therapy') probably wont be the worst thing you face. Which you know, will be worse for us in the camps.
I miss my endocrinologist. I miss tracking my levels via bloodtest without anxieties about them being used to fire me or deny me exit from the country.
I want to talk to someone educated like that again before I get on prog.
I want my stupid ugly dead name off of everything.
I want to be left the fuck alone without having to deal with the fact that being like 1-2% of the population or whatever just means that a large enough majority can just decide you don't deserve to exist.
I fucking hate it here.
