Dr Beachgem explains how serious it is that Florida is stopping vaccine mandates. Vaccine save lives that is scientifically proven fact.

On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters."
On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident.
Real macho stuff.

Why don’t we just hand Texas, Florida, or Oklahoma to Russia? We can call it a “territory swap” for goodwill. Americans can just leave and go somewhere else or live under Russian rule. Absurd, right? Stop suggesting people should just give up their home to an invader.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.
We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

With only 8% built, Texas quietly defunds state border wall program
Texas officials suggested the federal government could pick up construction. However, during President Trump’s first term, his administration built about one-third of what the state was able to put up...

Yes it is. This is exactly what you voted for. Go rewatch the rallies you clapped at and maybe listen a little closer this time.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Notice how it’s always, “our laws must be inspired by the Bible!” until it comes to the +2,000 passages in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban.
Nobody cared. Nobody ever does.
The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police.
This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.
