Iowa actively removed protections and legalized the ability to explicitly discriminate against trans people in housing, employment, education, and healthcare. Now, they're ensuring that cities can't protect trans people discrimination either.

I'm not a commodities guy but I don't know how many more events like this the markets will be willing to overlook because Trump occasionally shouts, "nearly done!" at a reporter from his golf cart.

The thing we were supposed to have learned from Dred Scott is that the nation can't be a nation if people's fundamental rights change at an internal border.

These people are terrible.

If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me

This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.

1. Dogs
2. A really good scone
3. Fresh mountain air after a rain

You can think of this as a failure of community, because it is, or a failure of enforcement, because it is that too, but ultimately it happens because any turdbucket can have kids and many of them have zero impulse control.

And the guy drags his daughter out into the front yard and yells out to the neighborhood, "Whichever one of you called those cops better never do it again" and he beats the shit out of the girl right there on the front lawn.

CPS never got called again.

So they show up and go into the house and they are there for a while and then they get back in their car and leave.

Me mother, grand departed lady she was, told me this tale:

We were living in what was then the "bad neighborhood" of SJ, and the guy two houses down used to beat his daughter. Mom got sick of it and called CPS.

The largest payment eliminated by DOGE was $38,468,659 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for transition support services to adulthood for disabled children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The missles in this video cost more than that.

Looks like Trump et al may finally, after all this time, be discovering that Reality Always Bats Last.

Especially when the destination is Idaho or Utah, I always read that as "There are Latinos in the park, and occasionally a woman in a hijab at the train museum in Griffith Park. I want my children surrounded by white people."

Also... I bet a pint of my blood if you were grocery shopping and when you got to the register as a test I told you that you had to pay with a SNAP card, you would have absolutely zero idea what items in the cart you would have to put back.

Supposing the story is true, Mr. Husted, I think the problem you may have here is that you apparently think that people who rely on SNAP don't live in the real world.

I assure you they live in the real world.
