lol - true!
I’m pretty sure LGBTQ+ folks will be safe here in NYC. And last year I heard Syracuse & Rochester are hotspots for trans migrants on tighter budgets who are seeking safety.
To put things in perspective…

THis…
I would say fear and hatred won yesterday. All the anti-trans stuff wasn’t exactly misogyny, and definitely not about racism.
The pandemic (and a fair amount of corporate greed) caused inflation. A lot of that’s on Trump. Biden actually got it back down near the 2% Fed target. But the way inflation works - prices don’t go back down when the inflation is over. Consumer confidence and spending are back up - so saying the election was about inflation is just wrong.
And (sadly) no one really cares about the wars - Americans aren’t dying. So not about that either.
It was just about fear and hate. Which is really sad.
⬇️ THIS ⬇️ (from Politico)
“#Trump simply cannot beat President Joe #Biden relying solely on the votes of people who think his legal travails are a politically motivated scam, and who cheer Trump not in spite of his transgressions but because of them.
“There are plenty of such people — enough to power this generation’s most important political movement — but still not enough to win the #election. Trump’s only path to victory is a coalition that includes many #Republicans and #independents who find him deplorable but think a second Biden term would be even more so.”

“David Pecker to be first witness in Trump's hush money trial: New York Times”
Couldn’t they have found a Richard Pecker, or a Randy Pecker? I mean it is a trial about hush money paid to a #porn star…

On my way to get an MRI this morning I walked past a window where I saw a woman running on a treadmill - with a view of Central Park. The weather was perfect for running outdoors, and Central Park is a runners nirvana. Which raises the question - why indoors when she could be running in the park?
🤔🤦
This an incredible article that explains so much about the conflict in #Israel / #Palestine…

Kidnapped businessman kept in cage by bitcoin ransom gang
https://protos.com/kidnapped-businessman-kept-in-cage-by-bitcoin-ransom-gang/
> A wealthy Chinese businessman who was kidnapped at gunpoint from a prestigious UK golf course was threatened with a knife, beaten, and held in a cage for over 30 hours by a crypto ransom gang demanding $15 million in bitcoin, UK prosecutors allege. As reported by the BBC, Dylan Huang was golfing at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire in October 2023 when five individuals allegedly ambushed him and forced him into a car. Prosecutors say the gang then bound Huang and drove him to a property in Surrey where he was caged, blindfolded, and had his mouth taped shut. It’s claimed that the gang demanded millions of dollars in bitcoin and that Huang offered to sell his stocks and shares to the gang while also attempting to source various loans from his friends.
Was he given red pills while he was held captive?
That’s a bit harsh, but not untrue.
I like how the Jews approach it. You start life with your first breath and end it with your last breath. Ergo fetuses are part of the mother, not a separate life - until the point of viability when they can survive on their own.
I’m so happy to see #conservatives getting voters out for #Biden! And doing it in a purple state is an added bonus 👍

I don’t get how the toll on the NJ Turnpike is OK, but the toll on Manhattan roadways isn’t. Both are the same thing.

Just felt another #aftershock. 4.0 this time.
Clearly #NJ isn’t happy about #CongestionPricing… 😐
It used to be that the economy had to add 250K jobs every month just to tread water. So 300K doesn’t mean anything substantial happened - it just means we didn’t lose jobs and might have added a few.
Ah, the irony… The guy who gave homophobes their cherished bible was actively bisexual…
“The King James Version of the Bible is the preferred version of many fundamentalist Christian churches — and the one being hawked by Donald Trump in a “God Bless the USA” edition … But what some promoters of the King James Version don’t realize or — at least ignore — is the queerness of the king who commissioned it.
“James, known formally as King James I of England and King James VI of Scotland, would likely be understood as bisexual today.”
