For transgender people, now living in the United States amounts to living in enemy territory, and putting their agency to sleep, at least for the next four years.
  • Republicans just need to attach their trans extermination legislation to bills that fund the military or other key government functions, and the Dems will vote for it in large numbers.

    Yeah, it sucks when that happens; then if the Dems don't vote for it, it gets framed by the Republicans as they only care about LGBTQ issues.

    edit: For what it's worth, have a look at this:

    Democrats will lean on this tactic to take on Trump during his second term

    If UnitedHealth really filed that claim, they're even more tone-deaf than I thought.

    1930 Chicago City Railway #209 cable car at Illinois Railway Museum (see details in comments)
  • This is a replica, built in 1930, of a late-1800s cable car:

    Nowadays we associate the cable car only with San Francisco, but there were cable car installations in thirty different US cities, and Chicago had the largest.

    The cable could not cross a bridge that opened, so three tunnels had to be dug under the Chicago River to allow cable cars into downtown. And to avoid having cable lines cross each other, the cable cars had to run left-handed on State St. and on Wabash in the middle of the Loop.

    A Californian woman is suing her own parents for 2 million dollars because she blames her parents for her “ugly genes”.
  • Why would anyone in their right mind want the government to be even more involved in people's personal lives? It's bad enough as it is.

    edit: This story is from 2018 and hasn't appeared in any credible news outlets, with no updates since then, so it's most likely bullshit.

    Trump resistance rises in states led by Democratic governors (The Hill, via archive.today)

    > "When you elect a president of one party, often, states of the party that oppose that president have enormous ability to try to block or push back on directions that the president might want to go, especially if Congress can't function or pass legislation," said Barry Rabe, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan's Ford School and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

    Governor Newsom convenes a special session of the Legislature to protect California values

    > The special session responds to the public statements and proposals put forward by President-elect Trump and his advisors, and actions taken during his first term in office — an agenda that could erode essential freedoms and individual rights, including women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights. A special session allows for expedited action that will best protect California and its values from attacks. The special session will begin December 2, when the Legislature convenes.
