The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, billionaire Elon Musk’s platform said on Saturday.

Problem, I don’t think many of said staffers do as evidence by this brilliant response to a journalist asking about why trump suddenly had a lisp in this interview

In an emailed response to an inquiry about the lisp from a Huffington Post reporter, the Trump campaign said, “Must be your s****y hearing. Get your ears checked.”

The lisp was present throughout and takes like 2 seconds to find clips of it and hear it

Most of those claims about treatment of trans people are just false. They are primarily based on misattributed actions of other people which harris has denounced

Here’s a good article looking at just that

Not saying she’s perfect, but consider with the two party system in the US, the alternative is far far worse
