This is what a dictatorial regime in freefall looks like, imo, making increasingly absurd, clumsy and unpopular attacks in an attempt to gain control of a narrative or momentum.

Don't rush in on fumes.

Something that comes up a lot in my head.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
