Trans women are not allowed to be trans because they can never get pregnant. The purpose of women...is to get pregnant.

well, trans men should not be allowed either because they will make it so they can't become pregnant anymore (try having menstrual cycles when you are under male RHT). men falling pregnant is unnatural anyway.

Paul Krugman: “While our institutions & our elites have failed us, ordinary Americans are rising to the occasion. If Minneapolis is a laboratory of democratic destruction, it has also become a laboratory of civil resistance — organized civil resistance, of a kind we haven’t seen since the civil rights movement. When ICE is on the rampage, crowds of brave Americans, summoned by texts and whistles, quickly gather to stand against the masked men with guns.” #Resist #MLPS

Sascha

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1322102569

One of six episodes
It's hard to think that it could be 100% fake. The guy is of average intelligence, speaks well and has little education. He comes across as very real.

At 47 minutes he gets back to Trump.

After Trump is dead some of this will be backed up by other vuctims and books on Trump will include a line or two.

I mean his step father who abused and trafficked him is know to have flown for Epstein.
He does seem credible. The Canadian interviewer does try and push him to satanic shite and interposes her pet views butt he shrugs them off
She's just "naive" and clumsy enough to be somewhat creditable.
Sascha does seem creditable ...still somewhat skeptical but.......think there is enough traction to continue on a wider scale.

Given what the dumpster sister has claimed about him, his known relation with Epstein and other survivor claims I don't doubt he is capable of the crimes and he does appear to be anally incontinent.
Lends Sascha's story cred. :pop:

There were three or four people with names similar to Sascha's step dad. Someone was trying to verify the middle initial. I lost track.

The oddest piece in that part where the badly behaving Sascha was looked at, before going to any foster care, by Jane Goodall. Yes, the Jane. Now... Goodall only ever spent time in the US on speaking tours.

Meanwhile back in the courtroom ... A Reagan-appointed judge who ripped into the Trumpists this past October for crapping on the US Constitution has at them again. He's in his 80s so perhaps less concerned about bowing down to the goons than some others. How dare he speak the truth in this day and age?

'Judge blasts "authoritarian" Trump administration’s ‘unconstitutional conspiracy" to deny free speech'
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “have failed in their duties to protect the Constitution” by depriving the First Amendment rights of students and faculty in their threats to strip them of visas and arrest and deport them, according to Massachusetts District Judge William Young.

The 85-year-old judge appointed by Ronald Reagan had previously labeled the administration’s actions a “full-throated assault on the First Amendment across the board under the cover of an unconstitutionally broad definition” of antisemitism in a damning 161-page opinion last year.

In a hearing Thursday to determine how the government can remedy such a sweeping threat, an exasperated Young repeatedly appeared shocked by the scope of the administration’s actions and delivered a minutes-long speech reading directly from the Constitution.

“I find it breathtaking that I have been compelled in the evidence to find the conduct of such high-level officers of our government, cabinet secretaries, conspiring to infringe the First Amendment rights,” Young said in his closing remarks.

“I’ve never had a case that approached that level of consequence,” he said. “But I’ve asked myself, why? How did this happen? How could our own government, the highest officials in our government, seek to so infringe the rights of people lawfully here in the United States?”

The federal government’s actions were “appalling,” Young said Thursday.

Homeland Security officers “were taken off anti-terrorist investigations” to pursue international students, he said.

“They were taken off human trafficking investigations all to look up … what dirt they could find on this group,” he added. “The very highest levels of [Homeland Security] decided that’s the best use of those people.”

The judge said he was struck by the “intentionality” among administration officials to violate First Amendment rights.

“I see this as a conspiracy to deprive your clients of First Amendment constitutional rights,” Young told lawyers for the plaintiffs.

“It's fairly clear that this president believes, as an authoritarian, when he speaks, everyone, everyone, in Article II, is going to toe the line absolutely,” he added.

He said he was convinced by evidence in the case that high-ranking government officials, including the president, have “a view of freedom by who’s excluded” as though “they fear First Amendment protections” and “exclude from participation everyone who does not agree with them.”

well Judge young is right, but what do you expect from people who are flunkies first, and holders of their post.... a lot less?
also, I knew that the Nine tend to stay on the job until they are patently unable to sit anymore, but to see a federal district judge still working in his 80s, that's a surprise. I mean, this side of the pond he'd have been forced to retire long ago.
