REPUBLICANS ARE GOING AFTER CHILD LABOR LAWS!!!!

Not to strengthen them, but to abolish them.

Someone finally found a good use for cauliflower! 😁

For decades, Dr. Katalin Karikó struggled to get funding for her research on messenger RNA. In 2005, a paper she co-published on how to modify mRNA to dodge a cell’s defenses was ignored by the scientific community.

In 2013, she left Penn Medicine and took a role as VP at BioNTech for the opportunity to apply her experience with mRNA. Her work there laid the foundation for the first Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines.

"Don Lemon was disciplined by CNN for insulting a MAGA Republican woman. Can you imagine Fox disciplining an employee for being mean about Nancy Pelosi or Kamala Harris?" https://thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/spoiler-fox-wins

@TexasObserver

"For students who sign up online to join Turning Point USA, the organization offers “activism kits” that include not only handbooks and posters but also buttons that read: “All guns matter,” “9mm beats 9-11,”...

Turning Point also offers students training to expose teachers and professors with “radical and anti-American agendas.”"

@TexasObserver @texastribune Any man who finds out his partner chose to not have a child with him will be able to file multiple lawsuits to get his revenge.

Exactly what pro-choice advocates predicted would happen.

Oh, that is rich. After defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 Committee himself last Congress, Jim Jordan now expects compliance with his subpoenas now that he has the gavel.

See how Eric Swalwell expertly called out Jordan's hypocrisy: https://secondnexus.com/swalwell-jordan-subpoena-compliance-hypocrisy?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=2N

GOP-controlled Kentucky Senate passes bill to limit drag shows https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/gop-controlled-kentucky-senate-passes-bill-to-limit-drag-shows

Ahhh… BBC covering themselves in glory today… refusing to air an Attenborough documentary because it’s too political to save the planet, effectively suspending Lineker from MOTD (for speaking up for asylum seekers) and trying to spin it as him “stepping back”, silence on Bruce diminishing Stanley Johnson abuse allegations…

Yup, that’s the balance we’ve come to know and loathe…

If you live in Florida and want to do something to make the trans folks here feel better, send a letter to the committee members hearing about SB 254 criminalizing gender affirming care and classifying it as child abuse and tell them to stop it. You can sign and personalize a stock letter here! https://act.eqfl.org/a/oppose-criminalizing-gender-affirming-care-bill

@AlliFlowers I KNEW this would happen sooner or later. What I want to know is what happens if some #religion declares #abortion to be one of their sacred rites. Will the #courts decide that freedom of religion doesn't apply? What if they are in a state where simply providing assistance in getting an abortion in a legal manner (by going to a state where it's allowed) is illegal, but they include information on how to get one in their "holy" texts? Will the courts discriminate on which religions get to have rights and which don't?
