Attorney Hao Nguyen, a Vietnamese immigrant and parent to a trans child, said Minnesota has a responsibility to be a leader when it comes to protecting gender-affirming care.

"Withholding or delaying gender-affirming care can have a dramatic impact on the mental health of any individual who needs it. Rates of depression, suicide, substance abuse are dramatically higher in transgender and gender-expansive individuals who lack access to care." [...] "The most insidious aspect of this bill is the language that adds children who are being denied ‘gender-affirming care’ (defined as everything from therapy to hormone blockers, to transition surgery) to what amounts to the definition for a child ‘in need of protection or services’ in Minnesota, allowing the courts to take ‘emergency custody’ of the child," said Bob Roby, a licensed attorney in Minnesota with more than 30 years experience in family and juvenile court. [...] "This kind of court power has a long-standing precedent in Minnesota for keeping children safe. When a child is at risk of being harmed by a parent or custodian, the state has immediate authority to remove and protect the child from harm. Without this, there would be no way to protect children in those situations," Roby told Fox News Digital in an email.

Although Shakespeare coined the phrase, I heard it first from the brilliantly creative Andrew Obrecht. The simple and powerful message warns us to be mindful to not create expectations we cannot commit to, and to not attach to expectations that are outside our control. [...] Yes, unmet expectations can cause heartache. But what is life without a little heartache? Sometimes our unmet expectations are a signal that we are not getting what we need from a relationship, but generally, I would say, we each need to practice not being the center of the universe. I still create expectations, but I am mindful to not blame others or get all torn up when my version of the future doesn't match reality. I still get a little perturbed when I expect to be taken out for dinner but I come home to a tired husband who wants a night in. But I ask myself, "Is this worth spending energy on?" Although I still get caught in expectations, I snap myself out of their hold pretty quickly when I notice my energy has shifted into a place of unnecessary negativity. | 2016-09-09 | False | false | true | supports |

[...] Facts First: National public polls do not show anything close to an increase of "four and five times" in Black support for Trump since his mug shot was taken, either in a race against President Joe Biden or in his own favorability rating; Trump’s campaign did not respond to CNN’s request to identify any poll that corroborates Trump’s claim. Most polls conducted after the release of the mug shot did find a higher level of Black support for Trump than he had in previous polls – but the increases were within the polls’ margins of error, not massive spikes, so it’s not clear whether there was a genuine improvement or the bump was just statistical noise. In addition, one poll found a decline in Trump’s strength with Black voters in a race against Biden, while another found a decline in his favorability with Black respondents even as he improved in a race against Biden. [...] One of the five polls, by Emerson College, showed Trump’s standing with Black registered voters worsening after the mug shot was released, though this change was also within the margin of error. In Emerson’s mid-August poll, Trump had about 27% Black support in a race against Biden; in its late-August poll, he had about 19% support. | 2023-09-08 | False | false | true | insufficient-neutral |

This profound quote highlights the dual nature of courage as not only the ability to bravely express oneself but also the willingness to humble oneself and listen to others. In a world where speaking up is often celebrated, Churchill's words remind us of the equal significance of listening. To truly understand and connect with others, one must possess the courage to speak up for what they believe in, as well as the humility and open-mindedness to lend an ear and consider different perspectives.As we delve deeper into the complexities of courage and its role in communication, an unexpected philosophical concept emerges - the concept of the "Courageous Silence." This concept challenges the conventional notion of courage by emphasizing the power of silence and contemplation as a form of strength and courage in itself. | 2024-02-17 | False | false | true | supports |

As far as public consciousness is concerned, his enduring political legacy is curiously schizophrenic in that he is lauded at once by the libertarian right in the United States and the socialist and social democratic left in Britain. Despite having been the subject of much valuable scholarly attention throughout the twentieth century, there has been little interest expressed in Paine that has not been of a purely historical or biographical nature.Footnote 1 This is in one sense unsurprising, given his role as a prominent political actor and the fascinating, tumultuous life that he led, parts of which remain mysterious.Footnote 2 However, at the same time, there has been a marked neglect shown to the distinct theoretical content of his writings. He is customarily treated as a mere "vulgarizer of Locke,"Footnote 3 a rhetorician, pamphleteer, and polemicist rather than a political theorist of any note. | 2010-07-10 | False | false | true | insufficient-neutral |

The starry heavens represent the physical world. Kant’s moral law evokes an inner stirring. "Gesetz" usually translates as "law," but it can also mean "act." Clearly, as a moral response arising within me, it describes my will. Despite his count of "zwei Dinge" or "two things," Kant’s quote actually points to a 3rd elementary impenetrable as well. Notice how the quote moves from universal references to mind (Gemüt) and thoughtful reflection (Nachdenken) over to the highly personal "starry heavens above me" (über mir) and "moral law within me" (in mir). The power of his expression derives from his personal position midway between physical and ethical space. Likewise, I find myself positioned between the physical world and the will inside me. | 2017-11-20 | False | false | true | insufficient-refutes |

It suggests that happiness is not a given, but a gift – something that is not always present, but when it arrives, it should be cherished and appreciated. The quote also implies that the expectation of happiness could lead to disappointment. When we set expectations for happiness, we often tie it to specific outcomes or circumstances. If these conditions are not met, we may feel let down. However, if we let go of these expectations and instead find joy in the moments of happiness when they come, we are more likely to appreciate them fully. In today’s world, where instant gratification is often sought, this quote is particularly relevant. We are often in a rush to find happiness, to achieve it as if it were a goal. However, this approach can lead to dissatisfaction, as the happiness we seek is often fleeting or not as fulfilling as we imagined. By viewing happiness as a gift and not an expectation, we can learn to appreciate it more when it does arrive, and not be disheartened when it doesn’t. | 2024-01-12 | False | false | true | insufficient-neutral |
