I know you have probably seen this a a lot on your timelines this week, but this European Citizens' Initiative to ban conversion practices in the European Union is that important.
It just needs votes now, and it's gaining them at a good clip, so if you can but have not voted yet, or know anyone else who may as yet be unaware, please do so 🙏🏻
Currently at 752.147 of 1.000.000 required, anywhere within the EU counts!
Poke your friends, your family, and everyone else who isn't an asshole.

In questa settimana mi sono spremuta come un limone: campioni, lavorazioni conto terzi, rogne varie, gente in prova, gente niubba, problemi, assenze importanti, straordinari, cose arrangiate, salti mortali, pretese, acqua alla gola, solitudine:
cerco disperatamente di non lasciare spazio al Cicciomerda.
So perfettamente che mezzo reparto lo preferisce a me, solo perché uomo e ciccioso.
Un giorno mi renderò conto che farmi in quattro non serve a niente.

After a billionaire friend complained to Trump about paying more for a weight-loss drug in the U.S. than in the UK, Trump issued an executive order claiming to lower prescription drug prices. But when you look closely, it’s more populist cosplay than meaningful reform.
That’s why progressive lawmakers like Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna are calling Trump's bluff and urging Republicans to support legislation that would actually make these changes law. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…

Rubio on Turkey peace talks: Russia’s delegation isn’t a sign of real progress.
“I hope I’m 100% wrong and we see a ceasefire tomorrow. But honestly, I doubt it. We need Trump directly involved — and I believe he agrees.”
"We need Trump" 🤡 🤡 🤡
There is almost no scenario in human society where a reasonable person would say Donald Trump was needed. Not even to walk the dog. Literally never. Because he's a felonious, narcissistic, rapist imbecile.
And yet, somehow, the American people found way to put this piece of shit in government, and in the middle some of the most barbarous acts on Earth. Humans will burn.
