[email protected] and Philly Inquirer's @willbunch.bsky.social seem to share the same prosecutorial philosophy: police officers, white suspects & Republicans should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, while "black and brown" offenders need a break.

Far left policies have turned Burlington, VT, into a haven for junkies. They're not 'reducing harm,' but transferring it to law-abiding people.

🧵1 - I look at the transgender advocates as adults who’ve seen the shower scene on the 1997 version of Starship Troopers, adults who have been seen naked by members of the opposite sex, and are fine with it.

This is the reductio ad absurdum argument proving that 'transgender women' are not real women. No matter how much the left and the transgender advocates would like it to be otherwise, girls can't be boys and boys can't be girls.
