Sometimes I watch basketball on mute so it doesn't bother my wife, but that just makes it more jarring for her because it seems like I'm yelling "YEARGH!!!!" out of nowhere every few minutes.

Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Ron DeSantis and others are strictly against allowing transgender individuals to use bathrooms of the gender they identify as. Commonly, their argumentation involves notions like the admission of transgender women into women's restrooms is hazardous and menacing for other women. Here are three problems I see with this narrative. 1) If you ban transgender people from using the bathroom of the gender they identify as, then that means transgender men will be forced to use the women’s room. That means people like Rex Cameron (pictured below and unfortunately now deceased) would be using the ladies’ room. Are you telling me that this is “less intimidating,” and “safer” for women than the alternative? 2) If you limit public restrooms only those with the female/male genitalia, how exactly does one identify the difference between a transgender male and a cis male entering a woman’s room? Doesn’t this open up the possibility that male sexual predators would pretend to be transgender males in order to gain access to the women’s room? It is impossible to tell the difference without examining their private parts before they enter. 3) When you go to a clothing store, you will often see unisex changing rooms. These places allow for either men or women to walk into a room, open a stall, lock it, and then change their clothing. This means that men, women, nonbinary and transgender people all share the same changing rooms but utilize individual stalls within. We rarely see the same outrage about this. Is this really much different from the use of public restrooms which have stalls with locks on them as well? I’m genuinely asking these questions. I don’t know if there is a perfect answer to the transgender bathroom situation but the answers that people like MTG and Ron DeSantis provide also present new problems that may be more concerning than the original. I think if people were more willing to discuss sensible solutions, we could come up with answers that better fit the general population's opinions and needs. Here is a stat that many may not consider. It’s estimated that up to 1.7% of the human population has an intersex trait (meaning traits that do not fit into binary medical definitions of male or female sexual or reproductive anatomy). Who picks which bathroom they use? Things aren’t always black and white. Neither should answers be for every situation. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

As Marjorie Taylor Greene keeps attacking DA Alvin Bragg for NYC's crime rate, let's compare NYC's crime to the crime in Marjorie Taylor Greene's district (made up of Rome, Dalton and Calhoun, GA). Total Crime Rate per 1000 people: - New York City - 24.83 - Rome - 42.97 (nearly double NYC's crime rate) - Dalton - 22.6 - Calhoun 23.5 Tell me again how bad NYC's crime rate is, MTG. I dare you! **data per: neighborhoodscout

Hey @Walgreens , why would you give me a 9:10pm vaccine appointment when the store asked me and others with appointments to leave at 9pm because they were closing... An hour of drive time I'll never get back, especially since I'll die of #Omicron @cvspharmacy #vaccine #booster

We're trying to name our fund to protect our majority in the House of Representatives in 2020. The names we have so far are... let's say... OK... but maybe one of you will CRACK IT. If we choose your idea, you just might get some fun merch (or a podium at the third debate?)
