The GOP is fully to blame.
They sell the American public on the idea that any taxes are bad, no matter what they are meant to fund. When they are in power they cut public services, give tax breaks to corporations, and schedule tax raises to occur when they’re out of power.
When they aren’t in power they yell about taxes nonstop to make sure democrats are too scared to re-fund them, so they don’t get voted out.
Cycle after cycle, and now there’s no money to give the teachers.
Or…. ‘Teenage boys repeating the lies they been told by only group not shaming them for existing.’
They are victims of the circumstances, but because they are male, too many people act like its it’s okay to blame them.
Figuring out identity I think boils down to figuring out what gives you dysphoria, vs what gives you euphoria. Which it sounds like you’ve already figured out quite a bit.
As far as a specific label goes, they’re meant to be descriptive. So the label that fits in a given situation is what works, and you shouldn’t have to pick one that is who you are. They aren’t meant to be prescriptive, deciding for you how you should be showing up. If that makes sense.
From what you describe, I would explore the nuances within the non binary spaces, and find some idea that fit you there, like maybe trans masc or something like that.
Age verification is the label used for data collection. Forcing users to submit ID, means they, and the government can know who is saying they don’t like the things the government is doing. And where you were logged in when you said it.
Considering the row of tech ceos who payed millions to be in the front row of Trumps inauguration, that terrifies me.

Smaller local convenience stores in Canada, often had a CC charge added probably 20 or more years ago.
No, he literally didn’t just say that. He went on to say: “ The information I have confirms that she has experienced incredible trauma in her life, which is not her fault,”
Which was included in the short bit I copied earlier, and you just glossed over. Stop looking only at the parts that confirm the lies that you have been told.
Sort by all, block communities you don’t like. It’s your algorithm, not theirs.
Yes, because your clickbait version of the summary made it sound like it was about race and not looking specifically at this person’s history and trauma and accounting for that in the sentencing.
When a broken society victimizes individuals, and they grow up broken and perpetuate that, punishing them harder doesn’t fix anything.
“We know that as a Métis-Cree woman that Ms. Dodding has a greater chance of being physically, violently, emotionally and spiritually victimized. The information I have confirms that she has experienced incredible trauma in her life, which is not her fault,” Judge Alexander Wolf wrote in a recent decision out of Port Alberni.
“It concludes that Ms. Dodding’s personal Indigenous sentencing factors, as well as all the other sentencing considerations in general, support (a) four-year sentence. However, I believe the sentence does not adequately address concerns particular to her circumstances as an Indigenous, or in this case, Métis-Cree, woman. In my view, after having considered all the circumstances of this case, I conclude that a three-year sentence of jail is appropriate.”
I think it has more to do with people not talking about him trying to nationalize the elections. Using ICE to intimidate voters in democratic centers, Usng the SAVE act disproportionately disenfranchise groups more likely to be democrats: women, people of colour, low income, or young voters. These are key issues which need pushback on this year.
People need homes.
You buy a pressure washer, and rent it out, thats a good business. Theres no shortage of pressure washers. I can live without one. I can biy my own relatively easy. Choosing to rent or own is a question of how often I expect to want to pressure wash something.
You can only rent a home that you buy. Which means you had to take it off the market. You can also only rent a home (or room) that you aren’t living in. Which means you need somewhere else to live. You’re taking more than you need, to charge someone else who also needs it, to cover your cost of owning it, maintaining it, and presumably profiting from the difference.
When this is done at scale, you have owners skewing the market to make it harder and harder to buy.
They make more money, buy more properties and make it worse. While renters, and young adults get trapped i to renting because they have no options.
That is what makes it so much different.
See, it gets tricky. If the only reason they’ve fallen into a life of violent crime is to survive in a world that made them poor. You can say the blame falls on society for not looking after people well, before they reach that point of desperation. But you can’t really punish society in that case, People want to see someone be punished when something goes wrong, so we punish the poor person, and cement the ideas that they owe society nothing, and ensure they continue to live outside of the law once they serve their sentences.
There is a reason that the US’ incarceration rate is so ridiculously high, and its not the poor people who are at fault, they are just the who gets punished, and so people stop looking for real justice.
