🚨💀IT’S BAAACK! Remember when we told you that the TN bill allowing the DEATH PENALTY for abortions was dropped? Welp, now the sponsors have decided to stay the course and keep it in play.

Someone tell Bari about the Streisand effect

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

South Carolina House Passes H. 4760 Criminalizing Abortion Medication Insecure legislators try to look the most pro-life by endangering girls and women

South Carolina wants to follow in Louisiana's footsteps and reclassify abortion medication as a controlled substance and it's some dumbass shit with no basis in science. But it does make it even more dangerous to have babies here! #scpol hotfeminism.substack.com/p/south-caro...

How it started How it’s going

Nancy Mace is a disingenuous nut edition

Stephen Miller is 10 times more dangerous than Kristi Noem who is also dangerous. Best case scenario is that they somehow ruin each other.

SC Legislature is BACK, baby: Rep. Rob Harris and newly re-elected Sen. Lee Bright take to the podium to promise they'll do everything they can to punish women and healthcare providers. Special appearance by professional slut-shamer Abby Johnson 🤮🤮🤮

We have the first county-by-county report on the status of girls and women in South Carolina and it paints a grim picture of economic insecurity, high maternal mortality, and scarce child care. But we can use the data to make change. Share widely.

Really a yell-y family, that group.

keep thinking of a vocally anti-woke reporter who insisted that the term "environmental racism" was nonsense

Lee Bright teams up with Rob Harris--I'm sure this legislation will not kill more women at all (Harris wants the death penalty for people who have abortions). What a duo.

Election day SC! SC 98th, get out there and vote!

Hicks: As long as voters make such 'Bright decisions,' nothing will change at Statehouse By continuing to elect culture warriors like Sen. Lee Bright, South Carolina voters ensure the culture wars live on ... at the expense of real work.

Hicks hits hard on this one. Kudos to the editorial team at @postandcourier.bsky.social. www.postandcourier.com/opinion/comm...
