It worked for LBJ, however.

Don't forget him bragging that he now held the tallest skyscrapers on the NYC skyline.

To a LOT of GOPers, the answer to all of those questions is "no". Part of our burgeoning homeless population here in the States is kids being thrown out of their house for being gay or trans or both or just curious. There are MULTIPLE charities to support kids who face JUST THAT. It's a serious issue.

And a federal record of abortions, stillbirths and miscarriages. Which is also pregnancy tracking.

You forgot the Syrian mercenaries.

Mules are better over extremely rough terrain - they're shorter and stockier. Horses evolved to run over open grasslands, plains, and rocky steppes.

To quote (likely) John Swift, a lie can be halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.

And in some cases, the IP getting a shit movie or show can tell the game developers "well, time to drop the entire brand for 15 years".

Yup, regulatory capture at work. You see this a lot in EPA and OSHA as well - "we'll take your word for it until serious shit starts happening a lot."

This is sadly a pretty common thing for trans people.

Not entirely. Derailments like this were pretty much expected to increase at...right about this point after Reagan deregulated the entire rail industry. Take away any expectations of the railways to maintain their rails, cars, or engines, and couple that with an industry that believes in cutting everything to the bone in order to maximize profits in a way that's almost unrivaled, and you get this happening more and more. Already before this, railways in the US were averaging 1000+ freight derailments per year over the last decade - to put this in perspective, the entire EU averages half that in a year for their freight network.

I love that people are surprised that a man who prominently wrote "ARM THE HOMELESS" on a guitar he uses on stage is leftist as fuck. Like, I don't know what you expected dude.
