From what I have read, this is what the Trump team is calling it. I know words have meaning especially in the legal world, but this is Donald J. Trump here. He's never going to use the correct terms and he will change the definition of a word to fit his agenda. And so will his team. They want to strip birthright citizenship from the people they deem "unworthy." I truly do not know if they will succeed on this because once the lawyers get involved the words will actually matter. I also wonder how far back they are going to go to figure out who has the right to be an American citizen. Are they just going to look at the status of the parents when the child was born or are they going to go back further? Back to a time where immigration was more free because that can pose some problems for many white Americans This is also an issue I see with the Right when it comes to abortion. The medical field also has a dictionary where words mean specific things and you cannot differentiate between a D&C done after a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) and a D&C done for a scheduled abortion. It's the same exact thing, but try telling that to the pro-lifers.

Do those figures also contain the surgeries done to intersex children and any gender affirming care given to cisgender kids to make them present more in line with current gender societal expectations? The second is worded badly, but I do know cisgender kids do receive gender affirming care all the time there's just no fuss about it. Probably because the care is designed to make the children more like your typical boy or girl, or your typical man or woman. Because a lot of procedures done by plastic surgeons are technically gender affirming care like breast implants or hair transplants. I also think we needs to be more up in arms as a society to circumcisions done by non-Jewish parents because "foreskin, ew" than less than 1,000 kids getting gender affirming surgeries.

Sadly, no they are not okay with transmen using the bathroom that aligns with the sex they were born with. It's about protecting women and girls from evil men, and anyone who presents as masculine gets caught in the crossfires. Cis women who suffer from PCOS and naturally have a mustache, butch lesbians, and nonbinary AFABs are all no longer safe in some women's restrooms.

Yeah, they want to end birthright citizenship and strip it away from those they deem unworthy of it. But how they will figure out who is worthy of citizenship will be the issue. I really do not know how they will figure out who's parents were here "legally" versus who's parents are here "illegally" and if their plan includes provisions for one or both parents. It's also going to be a fun process when each state sets their own rules when it comes to the recording of live births. Of course they could simplify things by making the federal government record and track all of this data instead of the states, but that would go against the small government ideals of the Republican party and Trump's ideas of "draining the swamp" by gutting the federal government.

From what I have gathered so far, the first wave of people to get denaturalized would be those born in the US from "illegal" parents. I really don't know the criteria that will be used to differentiate those born from undocumented immigrants or non-citizen parents. It's not going to be people born in another country who followed all of the byzantine rules to become citizens that are going to get denaturalized at least at first.

I loved the throwaway bit in the opener where Laszlo is trying to figure out why The Monster cannot digest corn.

I think it's foolish to expect a majority Trump appointed judiciary to overturn these laws. They are a part of the machine, not a safety valve. We are screwed as long as the P2025 people stay the course. The only real hope is for the coalition of Evangelicals, rad trad Catholics, and fundamental Baptists to break down sooner rather than later.

Pat Mahomes is never going to publicly protest anything. I don't think many of his teammates outside of Harrison Butkner agree with him, so he's going to keep his mouth shut. The man's wife is MAGA, and I believe so is his mother.

I don't really remember Sean from his time on The Real World, but I do remember his wife and her season. She was on the San Francisco season with Pedro and Puck as the barely legal ingenue. I disliked her back then. It's going to be interesting if the second Trump term goes full authoritarian because that kind of leadership does not allow for widespread gun ownership.

I will give RFK, Jr. credit for making it off that plane without punching Elon or Junior. Both of them have extremely punchable faces not to mention their personalities. And to me at least, the Kennedy family has always given off the vibes of a family where boys and men settling things outside was permitted. That tends to go hand in hand with letting boys be boys.

Fabric quality across the industry has declined partly due to climate change. The cotton growing today is not the same as the cotton that was grown 10 years ago or longer. And when fast-fashion booms like what has been happening with Shein, that trickles down into the factories making clothing for Target, Walmart, Old Navy, and mid-level brands like GAP, J Crew, and Banana Republic. It's very difficult to find well-made inexpensive clothing outside of a thrift store.

Or the rights the state confers upon married couples with a piece of paper. Which is why the SC had to rule the way they did with Ogerfell. Also why that case was filed the way it was.

Didn't Dick Cheney have a literal change of heart? I know he had an organ transplant that was hella suspect. My profession prevents me from running for local office because I work where I live. I also cannot volunteer for my county's Democratic party for the same reason.

I was a child during both of Reagans terms, so i have no real opinion of Nancy. She was the frail "just say no" lady and that's about it. It wasn't until I was an adult watching reruns of The Golden Girls that it dawned on me how little her contemporaries thought of her.

And Kathy Griffin fared far worse than other, male comics for her art.
