I check Facebook 1-2x a month for family stuff. Turns out a few days ago my dad made a long post begging for understanding about trans people by his fellow boomers. Last paragraphs are below. Dad doesn’t always get it 100% right. He doesn’t need to. He loves and defends me; that’s all that matters

One thing that's really evident about the pied-a-tierre tax: it was a brilliant move to call it that — everyone who argues against it sounds like they're defending tax-free caviar. Contrast to San Diego's "empty homes tax" ballot measure which lost 55-45 in a 70-30 Dem city.

“First they came for my fiance, and I was very upset because I had never read the poem and frankly even if I had it sounds like one of those communist things all the perverts on the internet keep going on about why no I have never read a book why do you ask?”

More than 1 in 6 FDA employees have been laid off, including leaders directly responsible for food safety and regulatory enforcement. But we now have ugly pale Cheetos so yay.
