South Dakota Republicans are forcing #trans children to detransition

“The party of small government” is forcing doctors to refuse or to stop providing care even if treatment is in the process of being administered

HB1080 was passed 30-4 then signed into law by Republican governor Kristi Noem in efforts to drive our most at-risk youth into higher suicide rates

There is no other reason for this cruelty.

Musk and Murdoch together at the football game is a gathering of today's most powerful anti-democracy media barons. And it's a reminder that journalists who would never consider working for Murdoch's Fox "News" -- at least he pays for his content -- are still toiling for free to support Musk's rancid trollsite.
What would you say if I told you there was a state in Germany (which also has a federal system in which education is largely in the hands of the sixteen states) that was effectively outlawing the teaching of any critical reading of Germany’s history and present? (Thread - 1/)

GOP Rep Paul Gosar spoke at Nazi & pro-Hitler events, doubled down repeatedly, & still fraternizes with white supremacists.

GOP Rep MT Greene cites Jewish space lasers, speaks at Nazi events, & still fraternizes with white supremacists.

And GOP continues to embrace them into leadership positions.

But please tell us more about how Rep Ilhan Omar unequivocally apologizing for her words & meeting with Jewish leaders for healing is the real antisemitism.🤔

Children killed annually by mass education of Black history: 0

Children killed annually by mass book reading: 0

Children killed annually by drag shows: 0

Children killed annually by mass shootings & firearms: 4400

GOP: The only way to protect our kids is ban history, ban books, ban drag, and arm more kids with guns.

Many of the conservatives who are pushing hardest for book bans in public schools homeschool their kids or send them to private schools.

They still push for this because destruction of public schools as an engine of egalitarianism, democracy and social mobility serves their larger ideological goals of having an unequal society with "good people" like them at the top, served by exploited and ignorant poor underneath.

Colleges bow to lil’ tyrant Ron DeSantis’ will and halt diversity training. DeSantis won’t stop there. He’s already violated the 1st and 14th amendments and removed publicly elected officials

Fascism is winning

A reminder, DeSantis was a Guantánamo lawyer and administrator

His job was greenlighting torture , as per Mansoor Adayfi

This needs to be a bigger story.

“I was screaming and he was smiling”: DeSantis ran Guantanamo torture | MR Online

There is more to than what meets the eye on DeSantis' military past beyond a mere involvement in Guantanamo Bay.

Waking up to see the horror that a terrorist has murdered 10 people and injured 10+ more in AAPI majority Monterey Park, CA where tens of thousands of Asian American families WERE gathered to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The terrorist is still at large per media and police reports.

I’m outraged. 33 mass shootings & 2539 gun deaths just 22 days into 2023. I just don’t have the words. 😓

Taliban has banned women from seeing male doctors AND banned women from seeking medical education to become doctors. This is a sure fire way to kill women. It’s beyond barbaric.

Moreover, Prophet Muhammad (sa) declared education incumbent upon women AND declared medical knowledge as the most worthwhile knowledge. Taliban extremists ignore that entirely—because they fear truth, justice, and empowered women.

Taliban are enemies of all humanity.
