@Kimota94 Abbott is delusional, and Trump would only choose someone as evil as himself. It would never occur to Trump that he couldn’t push around Abbott (no pun intended).
Two Western officials confirmed on the condition of anonymity that they had been briefed on the contents of the dossier in recent days, but said they had not been able to verify the details. Although the United States has yet to corroborate the Israeli claims itself, American officials say they found them credible enough to warrant suspending aid.
"The prospect of a military standoff between 25 GOP states and the United States is not one the administration likely relishes. On the other hand, doing nothing emboldens Texas to continue enacting its twin goals of harming migrants and shifting the balance of power between the states and the federal government."
"A proposal dubbed the 'Help Not Harm' bill, H. 4624, would prohibit anyone under age 18 from receiving gender reassignment surgery in South Carolina. Any form of puberty-blocking drug or procedure also would be illegal for minors under the proposal. The bill is sponsored by all Republicans.
'“I just think that you were born a male or you were born a female, and that’s the only two genders there are,' Hiott said. 'What you were born as, that’s what God intended you to be, and I don’t believe it should be anybody’s right to change that.'
While Hiott and two other sponsors of the bill, Davis and McCravy, couldn’t say exactly where they had heard of gender reassignment procedures being performed, either way, they said they are pushing the bill as a precaution to ensure it wouldn’t happen in South Carolina."
THIS is what passes for serious legislation in #southcarolina!

It is an absolute clusterfuck of capitalism when the narratives being put forth are both "send your kids to school sick" (because women need to get back to the office) and "women need their reproductive rights removed because they aren't producing enough workers"
Women are a goddamn Atlas, holding the entire world on our shoulders and the rest of you pissants keep telling us how to do it properly.

Gotta share. My daughter sent me a recipe this evening, which I immediately prepared, and then consumed. Two-ingredient brownies. Yes, seriously! Melt an 11 oz pkg of semi-sweet chocolate chips. While they’re melting, beat 6 eggs. When the chocolate has melted, mix the two ingredients together. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350. That’s it!

@gavi You suppose that <expletive deleted> would be shocked to learn there is no Jewish Heritage Month? @cat_static
@Ronnie That they did.
@AlliFlowers @sickmatter @serge I've been posting about SA, Hamas, and Russia quite a bit and thought it a good idea to share a SA voice of support.

It was never about "protecting children." Banning gender-affirming care for all ages was always the endgame for these people. It was always a lie when they said it was just about children. https://michiganadvance.com/2024/01/28/michigan-and-ohio-gop-legislators-discuss-endgame-of-banning-all-trans-health-care/
