Got out on a 3-day pass from The Clinic ... and still at-large. Non-profit accounting manager Host of the Drinking Liberally chapter in Keene, New Hampshire
DOJ blew the Monday, 10/5 indictment deadline, but planned to indict Comey on Friday, 10/9. Why wait 4 days to charge decade-old conduct? To arrest and jail Comey over the 3-day weekend. He foiled the plan by going to court and now the case is time-barred. Trump’s lust to jail Comey killed the case.

It is a sobering statistic that one in seven Americans will eventually serve as Donald Trump’s White House Press Secretary.
Found online. I do not know to whom the credit goes, but this wins the internet, for me. 🤣🤣🤣 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
That and “I was actually working against him from the inside.”

This was always the end game— to ban trans people from public life.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 2mo agoA trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
![A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.
