Jeramee / is on Nostr

The more I try to be a decent human being, the further left I'm pulled. Antiwar both philosophically and practically.

I critique both Repubs & Dems. If you cannot defend your side without accusing people of being a bot, or are otherwise uncivil, then I'm not the person you want to talk with.

Pronouns: he/him

Republicans did the same thing at the federal level* and banned research on gun violence back in 1996.
When the facts oppose Republicans, they simply hide the facts.
*I'm sure there were a bunch of "conservative" Dems who went along with it, which only goes to show that Democrats are not our friends.

Have you ever read Catch-22?
Klinger was their version of Yossarian from Catch-22. He complained that he was mentally unfit to fight because he was deathly afraid, but the psychiatrists said that his fear proved he was sane. So, the only people who were insane enough to be taken off the front lines were the ones who didn't complain and willingly went to fight. If you tried to not fight, that meant you were sane and had to fight.

Fwiw, I was a kid when I first watched M*A*S*H, & never thought transvestism was a sign of mental illness. But, there were other shows (comedies, IIRC) that used drag.
The current trans panic is not merely a conservative thing. It's full-blown fascism. Compare it to Umberto Eco's 14 Characteristics and see how many you check off.

I haven't read her smoke and mirrors ruling, but, even if Smith is removed, the charges could, I think, just be given to a regular federal prosecutor.

I wish that they'd put country over self & party too, but that's not how they operate. Dem leadership has been kneecapping younger potential leaders for years. Whether that's because they are clinging to power or just so ideologically committed to the capital class that they'd rather break the party than allow new ideas to take the helm, the outcome has been the same.

If you specifically want the omega fatty acids, you need to know the diet of the fish.
Just like free-range eggs are higher in omega's, vit E, etc, than their caged counterparts, so, too, farmed salmon are lower in the omegas. This is a function of their diet.
