Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:

Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.

Its a horrifying escalation.

These words are designed to slide off of our brains and be forgotten.

Say it plainly: No murdering children overseas. No locking up children in concentration camps here. No pedophiles in government or any positions of authority. No Republican freaks inspecting children's genitals.

"... to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus ..."

This is definitely the worst Evangelion remake so far.

How did this go the last time we tried that in Iran? It went great, right? Like super good for decades?

I'm tired of world events dropping with the same frequency as movies in a superhero cinematic universe.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

They're remote control robot (not autonomous) that scans everyone's face and they sell the data for recurring income or hand it to police when necessary. You also have your face scanned when they arrive at drop off. Door Dash recently offered an opt out for these things. Make sure you check it off

According to our sources in Williamsport, the vehicles have arrived.

The number of people who seem utterly convinced this dude can’t be a Nazi because he says he’s pro-worker is just depressing.

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Something like this would seem very partisan at a time when Americans care more about "kitchen sink" issues. I'm sure a "strongly worded letter" is being drafted instead.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

I'm sure Schumer is preparing a VERY strongly worded letter.

I'm hearing reports that the elderly despotic leader is now afraid to reenter the capital and is attempting to establish a functioning government in a gilded palace located in a remote southern part of the country.

Just remember that you don't have to stare into the doom rectangle all day to be aware of what's going on. You're not a bad person for taking a break.

congress sounds cool i wish it was real

And if this unconstitutional, illegitimate, murderous, fascist regime wants to come after us, I say ...

Someone (community organizers, local representatives, congressmen and women) needs to organize a federal tax strike in the US. If even just 5% of tax paying adults refused to pay what they owe last year and withhold what they pay currently, that's many billions of dollars the regime won't get.

I really hope that every single person who was so stupid they believed his lies about ending wars in the middle east feels so much shame and regret, they collapse into a singularity.

We told you so. We fucking told you so.

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

My line on BBCr4 Today on the Iran strikes was this. Last June there were intensive US/Iran talks under way. Aborted by Israeli strikes on Iran which US joined. I think this is similar. The US-Iran-Oman talks seemed to be going well. Netanyahu preempted, and Trump felt he had to follow 1/5

let’s stop calling each new outrage a “distraction” from the last outrage and instead call it what it is: a vast ongoing machine of death, kidnapping, graft, abuse, and larceny built to operate on many fronts simultaneously at home and abroad for the benefit of the wannabe god-emperor and his toads

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟
