The Ford government is the most corrupt in Ontario history. They have committed billions of dollars of graft that we know about and likely many billions more that we don’t. They are popular because they throw us a few crumbs so that the dumpth are willing to forgive the fact that they are robbing us blind.
It would be fucking hysterical of the US built a huge, impenetrable wall along the US Texas border leaving Texas on the Mexico side.
Sorry, Mexico.
Supporters of the ranked choice repeal suggested they might face threats, harassment or reprisals for their donations and support…
Because that’s what they would do. Every accusation is an admission.
I’m glad your friend got it.
“Young woman” is what that greasy sack of shit child sex trafficker Matt Gaetz called his victim. It’s an attempt to age them in the listeners mind.
I had sex with a friend who later came out as a lesbian. It was uninspired. We’re still friends but that was a single time and never again.
Sorry…I didn’t answer these parts of your comment.
One tactic that I like is asking them questions that lead them to point out the flaws in their own arguments. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method
They have a carefully rehearsed circular logical set of arguments that are self-confirming. I can explain and explain and explain but it doesn’t confirm their bias so they just keep going around in circles. I don’t expect to reach them but I may help someone who isn’t so closed minded to understand.
My daughter goes to pride festivals every year as a vendor in the market. Last year was hopping. This year was dead. My wife and I wondered if all the pushing to force biological males into the places that biological females fought for decades to get wasn’t turning a lot of people off. That would be extremely sad since the LGBTQ+ community has worked so hard to get to where it is now.
Would you be more or less likely to learn from someone that calls you an extremist?
I have Asperger’s so I don’t care what people call me (other than calling me a transphobe or antisemite with the new definitions written by the extremists.) If they’re making a cogent argument I will generally respond in kind.
I have a lot of experience and I am very LGBTQ+ friendly. I only label as extremists those who push beyond the bounds of, “Everyone has rights, gender is a social construct and you can identify as whatever you want” into denying that male and female are things or claiming that identifying as a woman somehow magically makes you female. The whole, “You can’t question what we believe or you’re a transphobe” is EXACTLY the same as, “You can’t question the actions of the state of Israel or you’re an antisemite.” It’s utter nonsense. Those are both examples of extremism.
I meant “female” in the context of biological sex as opposed to the social construct of gender as in, “woman” which may be a person who is either male or female. I am FAR from a transphobe and using the word and the reporting system on Lemmy as a bludgeon to try to silence anyone who doesn’t buy into the extremist group think utterly devalues anything else that the extremists say. One of my oldest friends is a trans woman. She would VERY much disagree that I am a transphobe. My lesbian daughter whose trans and non-binary friends I interact with every day would also very much disagree.
I would like to counter report this as a false report by an extremist pushing a political agenda and trying to silence anyone who has different ideas than them.
Thou art forbidden to covet thy neighbours wife,
Thou art forbidden to covet the ox that he bought her,
But thank the lord that thou aren’t forbidden to convet thy neighbours daughter.
It’s easy to cut taxes on the poor. You raise the non-taxed income limit then the upper limits of each of the tax brackets. That would give virtually all of the benefit of the tax cuts to the 99.9%. Across the board tax cuts and corporate tax cuts are designed to transfer wealth to the wealthy.
Trump cut taxes by $9 billion of which the wealthy pocketed most of it.
Have the GOP achieved anything, anywhere over the last 5 years that wasn’t an attempt to take away people’s voting rights, to take away their reproductive rights, or to take away their human rights? Has any Republican ANYWHERE done anything to make the lives of their constituents better? Or are they just virtue signalling obstructionist assholes to the very last one?

They have become the thing they hate.
Every accusation is a confession. They were right, we do need to protect the children, from them.
The issue isn’t gender. Gender is a social construct. The issue is sex. Female sports were always intended to be for female athletes. Female athletes who choose to play female sports to have a more level playing field and to play against other female athletes find it unfair to be forced to play against male athletes playing female sports. Trans women are women but they aren’t female.
All that GOP complaining about activist judges was just another example that every accusation is an admission. They were stacking all the courts with activist judges so they could throw out elections and install a christofascist dictatorship. Trump’s reelection is the final step. They kill him off once he’s elected along with whatever simpleton sycophant he chooses as his running mate and install the christofascist speaker of the house at president. They telegraphed that when they claimed that the Democrats were going to kill of Biden to install Harris as president. Every single accusation is an admission.
There is zero incentive for businesses to negotiate in goods faith if they know that the government will just step in to force workers to accept a worse deal than they could get by striking. It’s time for the workers to take back the power of collective action. If a company can’t pay its workers a fair wage or should not be allowed to operate by paying its workers an unfair wage.
