#KenPaxton requested #transgender youths’ medical records from QueerMed — which is based in Decatur, GA — late last year, the health provider’s founder Izzy Lowell told WaPo on Sun.

“This request from the #Texas Attorney general is a clear attempt to #intimidate providers of gender-affirming care & parents & families that seek that care outside of Texas & other states w/ bans,” Lowell said in a statement.

Az Democrats rally behind race-based hair discrimination protections https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/012924_hair_discrimination/az-democrats-rally-behind-race-based-hair-discrimination-protections/
HB 2396 would prohibit discrimination against Arizona employees and students based on their ancestry, skin color, ethnic identity or background, and would also protect them from discrimination based on traits historically associated with race, such as hair texture and protective styles.

A handy manual for Republicans commenting on mass shootings.

On the day Mike Johnson (R-La.) became House speaker, 18 Americans were massacred and 13 injured by a mass shooter in Lewiston, Maine — but Johnson’s comments the next day already showed deft command of what is obviously the GOP’s Mass Shooting Rhetorical First-Response Protocol. In the event that Johnson is deposed and another Republican is chosen as speaker and needs a primer — and for the benefit of all members of Congress following National Rifle Association message discipline — I have compiled this guide.

Beginning with a quote from Johnson, it assembles phrases that have worked well to bury the vast majority of mass shootings in the United States — including the more than 600 recorded in 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive — in pious nonsense, logical contradiction and legislative inaction. Please copy and paste as needed.

About an hour ago, an Outlaw biker came into the sandwich shop asking us to pray for him, saying he was driving down to Texas with an AR-15 and a lot of ammo to fight in the civil war and protect America from the f*gs and freaks. The only praying we did after he left was for him to get struck by lightning. Watch out for yourselves people!

Remember when Trump enacted the Muslim travel ban right after taking office, causing nationwide turmoil? Well, he's now vowing to “restore and expand” this ban if reelected. Let's work together to ensure he never gets the chance to do so!

Earlier today, my home was targeted in a swatting attempt. This is alarming, appalling, and dangerous - and it puts real people at risk. Read my full statement: https://shontelbrown.house.gov/media/press-releases/statement-congresswoman-shontel-brown

@DemocracyMattersALot you know those drinking fountains, could we install one with Haloperidol in every GOP senator’s office?

I figure if they are getting anti psychotic meds on a regular basis, we might all be saved a lot of worries.

“Haloperidol is also used on many different kinds of animals for nonselective tranquilization and diminishing behavioral arousal, in veterinary and other settings including captivity management.”

It sounds perfect for the setting.

Judge Barrett, when she was interviewed in 2017, she failed to disclose, as was required, that she and her husband were born and raised and current members of the dangerous cult People of Praise.
