The state now asks abortion providers to send sheriff's offices reports of women who were impregnated by rape or incest and are trying to terminate the pregnancyhttps://abcnews4.com/news/local/graziano-responds-to-south-carolinas-abortion-law-charleston-county-sheriff-kristin-governor-mcmaster

This is going to get awkward at best, cause more needless suffering at worst.

The new right is pro-life and pro-family.

We support ending abortion but also child tax credits, paid family leave, free pre-natal care, and centering our economy around raising a family.

Bullshit. You guys have spent the last several decades crying "socialism"! whenever anything you’re claiming to support gets proposed. Don’t try to change the conversation now. You broke it, you keep both pieces, and you absolutely own every single unintended consequence, including any deaths, any and all suffering, and any and all hardship. You fucking caused this don’t get squeemish now because you’re realizing that things are going to get bad. You fucking built this.

From @brad_polumbo:

“We can and should have a robust debate over abortion rights. But let’s do it without needlessly scaring people that other core rights are under attack when they simply are not.”https://www.based-politics.com/2022/06/24/no-obergefell-isnt-going-to-be-overturned-after-roe-v-wade/

I’d really like to take your word on this, but the fact is we have been repeatedly assured by people like you that stuff like the overturning of Roe wouldn’t happen, and every single time we turn around it does. See: anti-CRT efforts turning into all-out bans, just-asking-questions efforts regarding trans issues quickly turning into all out anti-LGBT campaigns, and of course, Roe itself. And honestly, I’m sick and damn tired of people like you pissing on my leg and telling me it’s raining.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court correctly overturns Roe v. Wade & reinstates the right of states to protect innocent, unborn children.

Texas is a pro-life state.

You might save them from abortion but you sure as fuck will not save them from gunshots. Fuck you.

Rubio: The reason they are having a left-wing meltdown, two reasons why. The first is as long as they had roe V. Wade they didn't have to worry about having that debate pic.twitter.com/eBf5pSsrud

Actually my dude it’s because we’re furious that people like you are shoving your religion down our throats and we’re also furious that people like you have created a situation where the state can force women to give birth. I’d tell you to go live in an actual theocracy, but the only ones on the planet I’m aware of operate under a legal system that permits abortion.

Fair warning to followers for the day, apparently I've decided on "if y'all motherfuckers are going to tell me my Judaism is insufficiently frum to be protected by the first amendment you'd best say it to my face".

So there'll be quite a bit of that. https://twitter.com/apark2453/status/1539619602912579585

See this whole thing is interesting to me because I distinctly remember being reminded by numerous Jews during the Trump administration that we were not to question Ivanka’s status as a Jew simply because she was spotted publicly doing non-observant things.

And honestly, I don’t see much of a difference between questioning someone’s actual status as a Jew because non-observance, and questioning a sizeable group of Jews’ right of free exercise of religion because they’re not observant of even a whole lot of things.

Racy, stripper adult drag queens have no place around kids. Fun, costumed non-blue drag queens reading to kids is fine. Can we make that distinction and act accordingly?

Israel appointed Noa Tishby to fight antisemitism and delegitimization.
So she went on FoxNews to talk about Pelosi husband's DUI arrest, Biden's age and the 'obvious double standard of MSM not talking about the attempt to kill a SCOTUS judge'@Bsamuels0 https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2022-06-15/ty-article/.premium/what-israels-antisemitism-envoy-did-on-a-conspiracy-laden-fox-news-panel/00000181-6723-d36b-a5d5-6fef6e520000

Does anyone want to guess what would happen if Saudi Arabia appointed an official to fight anti-Islamic bigotry and then that official went on MSNBC to talk about Trump’s age, Walker’s secret kids, or anything but what was relevant to their actual job?

Spoiler alert: Republicans would lose their shit. And yet, anyone who says that this is direct action on the part of the State of Israel to meddle in U.S. politics will absolutely be accused of antisemitism by performatively outraged Republicans, whether the person saying it is a Jew or not. Or maybe they’ll just go with self-hating Jew or something like that.

Oh noes! A leak at the Supreme Court!
I suppose the Republicans will go berserk again, just like the last one.

She did not know what CRT was: but when she accepted a job as DEI administrator white parents accused her of implementing it in schools. She resigned. Then they kept harassing her until she left her next job. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-dei-crt-schools-parents

This is the good cancel culture though so no worries.

Elon Muskโ€™s regulatory woes mount as U.S. moves closer to recalling Teslaโ€™s self-driving software by Christiaan HetznerChristiaan Hetzner (Fortune)
Traffic safety officials escalate and widen probe to 830,000 Tesla cars as they discover patterns suggesting Tesla's Autopilot feature can encourage dangerous driving behavior.

Wait I thought self-driving cars were solved. That’s what he told us seven years ago. And that cancer would be completely cured ten years from then. What about cancer?

Professors Need the Power to Fire Diversity Bureaucrats by Conor Friedersdorf (theatlantic.com)
Scholars should drive out overzealous administrators, not vice versa.

But wait, I’ve been repeatedly told that firing people over their political views is cancel culture, and we all know that cancel culture is the apocalypse to end all apocalypses or something.

Unfortunately, the end of my high school career was robbed from me. I didn't have the time other students get to properly prepare for the future.

I look forward to attending Blinn College District this year, a feeder school for Texas A&M.

I'm excited to join Texas A&M in 2023!

Oh no! You have to attend a community college for your first year! What a travisty!

Democrats are already rejecting calls for more security and single entry points for schools (refusing to concede single points of entry with multiple exits is possible). They only want gun control, which won't pass the Senate. That means they want the issue, not a solution.

Wanna know why democrats are rejecting your supposed solution Eric? Because it’s completely idiotic and it’s a deliberate attempt on the part of Republicans to once again sacrifice the lives of the many so that the few can have their toys. You fuckers have spent the last two years pretending to give a damn about kids, and when someone shoots up yet another school you’re all the sudden "Turn the schools into fortresses!" And we’re fucking tired of it, and you, and none of us are here for any more of your bullshit.๐Ÿ˜

If 18-year-olds can’t buy alcohol they sure shouldn’t be able to buy an AK-47. CHANGE THE LAW.

Jee I wonder if there’s anyone who could do that law-changing thing when they’re working because God forbid you can’t miss your summer vacation! Jesus Christ congresscritters who have the nerve to tweet about how the law should be changed while they’re taking more fucking time off are the absolute worst.๐Ÿ˜

After years of insisting that Obama and Democrats had to use the term “radical Islamic terrorism,” few if any GOP leaders now even acknowledge the problem of “white supremacist terrorism” or “antisemitic extremism.”https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/republican-flip-flop-white-terrorists-win-democrats-n1295639 via @msnbc

Spoiler alert: It was never about the terrorists.

Conservatives Are Defending a Sanitized Version of 'The Great Replacement' by Adam Serwer (theatlantic.com)
Their reaction to the Buffalo shooting shows that the racist theory has now entered the Republican mainstream.

Because of course they are.

Don’t call them racists though it’s super hurtful and besides that some of their best friends are black or something and they love Israel.
