FLORIDA RESISDENTS:
In light of new legislation passed by fascist Hitler wannabe Ron DeSantis, I checked my voting and mail-in ballot status. I was still registered, but they purged me from the mail-in ballot request list. I had to redo the request.
If you reside in FL, please check your registration and ballot status every few months, and especially as elections loom.

Defense bill that targets abortion access, trans health, racial equity passes U.S. House https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/071423_house_defense_bill/defense-bill-that-targets-abortion-access-trans-health-racial-equity-passes-us-house/
The U.S. House approved an annual defense authorization bill loaded with GOP rollbacks of Pentagon policies on abortion and transgender health care, as well as efforts to boost racial equity - though it is highly unlikely the bill will pass the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate.

5th Circuit pauses order restricting #Biden administration’s #tech contacts

The stay follows a request from the Justice Department, which warned the sweeping order could chill law enforcement activity #DOJ #legal

Let me propose a new variation on an old theme:

First they came for the #trans people.
They didn't come for anyone else because we beat their sorry asses.

Working from home is an act of reclamation. I shed not one single tear for the end of the abuse that going to an office enables (paying for each day's travel, constant interruptions, terrible work environments designed by executives who don't feel the pain of these environments, etc.)

Rezone that office space as residential and do something about housing affordability.

Jayapal proposes amendment to Defense Authorization to fund clinical trials of Corbevax https://amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/JAYAPA_055_xml_Corbevax%20final%20final230710144724657.pdf This would give us a non-mRNA, open-source, Covid booster that would likely cost less than one-twentieth the price of the boosters from Pfizer and Moderna. Remember, drugs are cheap. Government-granted patent monopolies make them expensive.
