Classic wandering heart syndrome.

Hey now, don’t forget about factory farming in low income and minority areas!

It’s probably better than hoping corporations and politicians rein things in though.

Notably, the administration is announcing a “comprehensive plan” to increase awareness about access to emergency medical care required under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).

Which apparently doesn’t apply when you’re told that you have to wait in the parking lot until your health deteriorates enough.

There’s actually 3 brothers still alive, but 2 are largely uninvolved with Koch Industries.

and the name changes get very lost on all the public bids, foreclosures, and what not.

It is filterable.

If you want to argue name changes are public, they should be placed in a publicly searchable database.

You mean like this?

Did you bother following any links in the article? They have a link to the bill, explaining exactly what they’re banning, as well as another explaining in detail what gender affirming care is.

I like the enthusiasm, but minors are not generally in a position to up and relocate. Supportive families are increasingly finding themselves needing to move out of hostile states. Most of us are holding our breath for national elections to determine if we need to flee the country.

Maybe we can collectively have all the states kick both Biden and Trump off the primary?

The fact that the state can just wrongly keep someone in prison for over a quarter of a lifetime really makes me doubt the carceral system as a whole.

The First Amendment shields you from government reprisal. It is not a shield from private critique or consequences.

If it was a trans comedian making these jokes, (probably) great.

Honestly, I’d be disappointed even more in a trans comedian. If, after transitioning, they went with such uninspired jokes when there’s a wealth of more humorous things to joke about in transition, I’d question their sense of humor.

NE2: “Possibly, but ten years from now we can produce a documentary series about the real world affect on people these specials had - we can act all contrite, the comedians can, I dunno, cry a bit maybe? Net result - more money!”

Cue greenlighting Disclosure 2, where even more exasperated trans people have to explain the damage the media is still causing trans people.

Comedy isn’t magically ineffective at spreading ideology when all other forms of media are.

It’s often more effective because it feeds off of and into current societal feelings. It can shield itself behind being “just a joke” and can still be actively harmful to the minorities they target.

Just gotta claim you’re being canceled now, and Netflix will give you a special, I think.

They couldn’t just have a piece about New Years without referencing far-off wars?

The Ohio General Assembly, which is controlled by a Republican supermajority, can override the governor’s veto with a three-fifths majority vote.

So, while the vetos are great news, folks in Ohio should contact their reps to let them know to let the vetos stand.

The last time I had my car broken into, they sent an officer out to take the report. They, of course, did nothing with that report, and I found the person who had broken into my car later through reliable sources.

The Nordics I think figured out a solution to this,

The French did too, it’s called the guillotine.
