Let's say you have 200 random friends in the United States:

- 24 friends would be living in poverty
- 18 wouldn't have health care
- 45 of them would have an untreated mental illness
- 2 of them would have been shot

Apparently, the Republicans think none of these things matter, as they are entirely focused on ruining the life of the ONE of your 200 friends who is trans. Make no mistake: it is bigotry, it is hate, and it boggles my mind.

WordPress, which I've used and recommended countless times over the decades, can no-longer be considered free, open-source software. I will no longer recommend it. This plugin theft is NOT a fork, it's an outright jack. '[WordPress CEO Matt Mullenweg] writes that he’s “invoking point 18 of the plugin directory guidelines,” in which the WordPress team reserves several rights, including removing a plugin, or changing it “without developer consent.”' https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/12/24268637/wordpress-org-matt-mullenweg-acf-fork-secure-custom-fields-wp-engine

It is also crucial to point out that many of us of a certain age remember Justine Bateman from Family Ties and Arrested Development.
