Republicans have hit a new & disgusting low with Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill that would put parents & doctors in jail for providing gender affirming healthcare.
Trans kids deserve support, love, & care that affirms their needs, not cruel, despicable attacks on their existence.

This framing is dishonest. It was a bipartisan bill. Enough Republicans actually defected and voted no to kill the bill. Three Democrats crossed over to save it.
They should be stripped of their committee assignments and thrown out of the party, quite frankly.

Today House Republicans voted 216-211 to pass MTG’s bill to criminalize gender-affirming care for minors nationwide, marking the first time a national ban on care for trans youth has reached — and passed — the House floor.

If passed, the bill would punish doctors and parents who provide or consent to a minor receiving gender-affirming care.

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

Three Democrats (Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis) joined the Republicans to pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's federal ban on gender affirming care through the House of Representatives.
It is repugnant that the federal government won't give people health care, but it will TAKE IT AWAY from trans people.

I don't have a lot to give, but I set up a small quarterly donation. We should all try to support independent journalism in these times in whatever way we can.
The @tennesseelookout.com is in end of year fundraising mode and I love donations like the $10 I got today -- from my college best friend, Mark's, brother. We re-met this year, 39 years after I last saw him as an 11-year-old at Mark's funeral. We'd love your $10, too.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

I am reminded the State Department has an extensive set of laws and guidelines to follow for security concerns when building or renovating a US embassy. So, it's comforting to know that probably no one is going to do that for the White House. What could go wrong?

I accidentally took my mother to see Basic Instinct when it came out because she was a Michael Douglas fan. I can safely report there was nothing woke about it. It was misogynistic, homophobic, and just shy of pro-r*pe. I can't imagine what the anti-woke version will be like. I'll skip it this time.
