Trump’s Supreme Court appointees overturned Roe, paving the way for nightmares like this. On the other hand, Joe Biden sure is old
University of Alabama at Birmingham pauses IVF services after court rules that embryos are children
Less than a week after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created through in vitro fertilization are considered children, the University of Alabama at Birmingham suspended its IVF treatments so it could consider the legal repercussions of the decision.
#Trump has told us some of what he's going to do: "Round up undocumented immigrants and keep them in mass deportation camps. Use the federal government to target his enemies. Use the military to clamp down on civil protests against him."
But, Joe Biden is kinda old 🤷♂️
Most #Republicans in Congress have already signed on to a #christofascist bill that claims life begins at conception -- and contains no exemptions for #IVF. It would effectively take #Alabama's recent state supreme court decision nationwide.
But, Joe #Biden is kinda old.

This is the future #Republicans envision for America: a theocratic wasteland where the only laws are the religious fairy tales of a hateful minority, desperate to force the rest of the country back to the Dark Ages.

Alabama justice who ruled embryos are people says American law should be rooted in the Bible
Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Parker expressed his support for the Seven Mountains Mandate, a once-fringe philosophy that calls on evangelical Christians to reshape American life based on their beliefs.

#Republicans in #Missouri want to imprison teachers on felony charges for using students' preferred pronouns:
"A new bill introduced in the Missouri legislature would put teachers on the sex offense registry if they 'contribute to social transition' of a trans youth" -- an offense defined to include providing "support or information" for trans students, including "pronouns."

Anyone thinking about voting for Trump because of Biden's support for Israel needs to understand that Trump isn't going to be better. He's going to be worse. On that and *every* issue.
Trump will back Netanyahu 100% until every Palestinian man, woman, and child is wiped from the Earth. And you better believe he won't be trying to work diplomacy, ceasefires, or hostage releases in the background.

Racism. Terrorism. Hate. That’s what #Republicans have to offer.
In #NorthCarolina, Michele Morrow, the #Republicans' choice for state school superintendent, has called for #JoeBiden, #BarackObama, and other Democrats to be executed by firing squad. She appears to be a #QAnon believer, using its slogan "WWG1WGA" and accusing various people of harvesting adrenochrome from babies.
Morrow's own kids are homeschooled, and she advocates dissolving the very public school system she's running to be in charge of.
Lest anyone entertain the idea that a #Trump presidency would somehow be better for Palestinians: in addition to Trump saying #Israel has “gotta finish the problem” and keep bombarding #Gaza (see up-thread), #JaredKushner is already salivating over the profits he plans to extract from the Gaza Strip.
They’re ready to bulldoze Gaza and turn it into Trump hotels.
Jared Kushner praises 'very valuable' potential of Gaza's 'waterfront property'
Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s former White House adviser and his son-in-law, praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property.” Kushner in an interview with a Harvard University professor last month suggested that Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the area. Kushner also suggested that getting civilians out of Rafah and potentially into Egypt, might be possible “with the right diplomacy,” also positing a plan for the Negev desert in southern Israel. About 1.5 million displaced Palestinians are sheltering in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, as Israel looks to eliminate Hamas following the militant group’s deadly Oct. 7 attack. Kushner worked on a wide range of issues in the Trump administration, including Middle East peace efforts.
