if he runs for President in 2028 I'm not voting for him. I've been an obedient progressive and held my nose voting for Clinton, Biden and Harris, but as a trans woman there's no way in hell I'm putting up with his shit, after the hate he's spewed. I'm just done.
Lemmy doesn't have to be big, just big enough to feel cozy 🙂
I'd thrown in some community service on top, or 24 hours in jail if that's not feasible. Fines just go to the kid's parents - who also deserve to be punished tbf, based on how badly they've raised their kid to behave.
The difference is probably that they spoke up about their friends and family joining. Scientology is incredibly petty and well-known for stalking and harassing critics. In particular, during Operation Freakout they tried to get their critics put in mental hospitals, so it's kinda their SOP to make it look like their critics are having a mental breakdown. You might be safe criticizing Scientology anonymously online, but if you're annoying them in a specific way (e.g. trying to convince specific people to leave), and they know who you are, I can absolutely see them messing with you.
even if somehow these windmills need regular maintenance by Chinese operators, there's still an easy solution: 1. put all the management endpoints into an isolated network where they can be accessed from a jumpbox; 2. provide access under escort, so German proctors are monitoring the session and can pause it at any time. extremely noncredible!
nope, a mostly straight jail. they won't put us together. specifically, trans women like me are sent to men's prison and assigned to be the prison wives of violent inmates to pacify them and as a "reward" for good behavior. it's called v-coding.
EO bans Perkins Coie employees from Federal Buildings
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose. The
From a few days back, but I'm surprised this didn't hit harder on the news. Perkins Coie was the law firm contracted to do oppo research on Trump during his 2016 campaign, which sourced the infamous Steele Dossier from FusionGPS. The EO strips the firm of all its contracts, directs EEOC to investigate their (past!) DEI initiatives and hiring, forces all contractors to inform the government if they do any business with Perkins Coie (even as part of other contracts), blacklists every employee from ever being hired by the government, strips them of their security clearances, prohibits Federal employees from interacting with anyone from Perkins on official business, and even bans employees from setting foot in any Federal building! It also threatens other large law firms.
Trump's administration has done plenty of heinous things so far, but this blatant exacting of revenge against entities external to the executive branch feels like a new low.
it's going to be increasingly hard for CA to justify US as a safe harbor for LGBT people when the US has literally erased the T, and is starting even to block trans people from obtaining US visas. not that I'm terribly optimistic that CA will even bother justifying it.
