Facebook served warrant and forced to turn over chat messages between mother and daughter in Nebraska abortion case. So much for the right to privacy when it comes to pregnant people, am I right? Make no mistake, the “Party of Freedom” only wants freedom for white cisgender christian men with wealth. The modern conservative right is nothing but grotesque, power hungry, cowards who are afraid of everyone and everything that doesn’t believe and look exactly like they do. They make laws to oppress everyone while protecting themselves, which is exactly what Dobbs v Jackson is about – protecting white men in the workforce because these mediocre assholes can’t succeed without a boot on someone’s neck.

After the Justice Department (DoJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued and acted on a search warrant at former Republican President Donald Trump’s Florida home and paid membership resort Mar-a-Lago, much has been written about what the federal law enforcement agency was looking for and what Trump might have done.
But perhaps the DoJ just isn’t using the right approach with Trump. California Kindergarten teacher Arielle Fodor—Mrs.Frazzled on TikTok—may have cracked the code.
Speak to Trump about the FBI raid like he was a 5-year-old.
The video went viral, racking up over 845k views on TikTok alone before jumping to other social media platforms.

Conservatives get offended when "obscene language" is used, like when Beto O'Rourke dropped an F bomb on a heckler while he discussed the Uvalde shooting.
Let’s be clear about what he is doing. Everything that has our hair standing on end are trial balloons and if he can get away with them uncontested he will do the exact and worse if allowed in WH. He is #45 on steroids

Another day, another example of the radical Christian take over of every aspect of public life. A Minnesota Pharmacist who was sued because they denied emergency due to religious reasons has won their case. If you don’t believe in your job, you shouldn’t have that job. Pharmacist gets to downplay danger and seriousness on Fox News, the network that pumps out misinformation like they are getting paid billions to do it… oh wait. We need a major reform on whether “my religion” is an excuse to deny people healthcare, service, or any other public good. Or we should have separate religious pharmacies for assholes who don’t want to do their job because of cherry-picked bigotry and misogyny from their favorite fairy-tale fan fiction.
While Greene and other like-minded conservatives argue that gender-affirming care is unnecessary and “disgusting,” the mainstream medical establishment largely considers it to be the only effective way of treating transgender people, sometimes including children, and has opposed legislative efforts to block treatment.
“The AMA opposes the dangerous intrusion of government into the practice of medicine and the criminalization of health care decision-making,” Dr. Michael Suk, an AMA board member, said last year in a statement opposing anti-transgender laws. “Gender-affirming care is medically-necessary, evidence-based care that improves the physical and mental health of transgender and gender-diverse people.”
Dr. Moira Szilagyi, the president of the AAP, the country’s largest association of pediatricians, wrote last week in a blog post that there was a “strong consensus among the most prominent medical organizations worldwide that evidence-based, gender-affirming care for transgender children and adolescents is medically necessary and appropriate.”
Also please note that the anti-trans bigots trying to legislate fringe medical treatment against the best practice treatments are the same people who pushed a parasite paste Ivermectin to treat Covid which is a virus. These same people also rejected the best practices for Covid like taking the vaccine which they have lied about constantly, were against mask wearing, and keeping your distance during a pandemic. They were loud and proud and pushed their myths and lies about that on everyone also. They are turning people against vaccines like the money pox and polio vaccines. These maga right wing thugs do not believe in letting others have freedom and doing what is best for them, they want complete control over your body, your sex life, your personal expressions, how you dress, and what medicine you take. Small government party? If these people are making sense to you, you may want to check your sources and rethink your ideas. Hugs
Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia plans to introduce legislation to federally ban gender-affirming care for transgender children.
Greene announced the bill during a Thursday appearance on Fox News‘ Tucker Carlson Tonight. The Georgia Republican argued that gender-affirming care—which is backed by most in the medical establishment, including by major mainstream organizations like theAmerican Medical Association (AMA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)—is “disgusting and appalling” and “child abuse” when minors are involved.
“I find this absolutely appalling, Tucker,” Greene said. “When it comes to gender-affirming care, which is really child abuse, this is actually an assault and it’s child abuse. And this practice should never happen, it’s so disgusting and appalling… gender-affirming care is… genital mutilation.”
“This needs to be illegal and I’m introducing a bill called Protect Children’s Innocence Act,” she added. “It would create a law that would cause it to be a class C felony for any person involved in so-called gender-affirming care… anything involving any youth under the age of 18.”

Carlson enthusiastically agreed with Greene’s proposal, arguing that doctors who provide the care should “go to prison” and that he expects every Republican to vote for the bill.
“I should have every single Republican co-sponsor [the bill],” said Greene. “But unfortunately I don’t yet, I only have five co-sponsors. I’m talking to all of my colleagues and urging them, because Tucker let me tell you something, this is a referendum on the Republican Party.”
“Because this practice has to end,” she continued. “It’s the kind of thing nightmares are made of. And these are monsters under kids that that are doing these horrific things to them.”
Carlson thanked Greene, while agreeing that gender-affirming care for children was “mutilation.” He urged the congresswoman to send his show “a list of every Republican [that] is too cowardly” to support the bill.
Greene’s bill would also block federal funding for any gender-affirming care, ban colleges from teaching gender-affirming treatments and prevent any foreign nationals who provide the care from entering the country.
Reaction to the proposal was mixed online, with some accusing Greene of promoting child abuse by attempting to make gender-affirming treatment for transgender minors illegal.
“Your legislation will abuse transgender children,” writer David Weissman tweeted. “Again the Republican Party of today is not about limited government.”
“And who will protect children from your virulent ignorance and hate?” tweeted actor and director Charlie Adler.
“This is terrifying,” transgender activist Erin Reed tweeted. “Not only does Marjorie Taylor Green’s bill medically detransition all trans teens and ban providers from the US… It prevents schools from ‘teaching gender affirming care.’ Presumably she’s referring to therapists and medical schools. This is genocide.”
Others praised Greene for her making the proposal and appearing with Carlson on Thursday.
“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) nailed it tonight on Tucker,” tweeted Ryan Fourier, the founder of the group Students for Trump. “The sexual mutilation of children in this country is a rising problem and should concern every parent. God Bless you, Congresswoman for being a leader in this fight!”

“Just saw it~Great appearance, Congressman!” tweeted conservative talk show host Dave Weinbaum, praising Greene’s Fox News appearance while misgendering her.
Greene’s announcement came amid a national push from conservatives targeting transgender children and health care providers who treat them, with Republican-backed bills to block treatment for minors having already been introduced in multiple states.
Some Republican efforts have also included moves to limit or delay gender-affirming treatment for all adults, or to ban any care for young adults by changing the definition of “adult” to not include transgender people until they are over 25 years old.
Conservative anger over gender-affirming medical care—which has existed in some form for at least 100 years—may also be tied to recent harassment and death threats sent to health care providers.
Staff at Boston Children’s Hospital received harassment and threats this week after the right-wing social media account Libs of TikTok and others spread misinformation about its gender health program online.

“There is a dangerous movement taking place, led by extremists, targeting youth who are receiving gender-affirming care, and vilifying the pediatricians providing their care,” Szilagyi wrote. “The result has been rampant disinformation about what this care is and real threats of violence against some of our members.”
“The people who suffer the most from this discrimination are of course the children and teens just trying to live their lives as their true selves,” she added. “Pediatricians will not stay silent as these lies are waged against our patients and our peers.”
The LGBT advocacy organization GLAAD also weighed in on Greene’s proposal in a statement obtained by Newsweek.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene has zero interest in facts, she is only interested in harming transgender youth and spreading misinformation about the care that they receive, including lying about surgeries that are not performed on minors.,” said GLAAD. “Every medical association supports gender-affirming care as safe and necessary, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, which reaffirmed their commitment to this life-saving healthcare just last week.
“Her latest vile attack should be met with loud condemnation from members of Congress, who should be protecting transgender people from baseless fearmongering and rapidly increasing anti-trans rhetoric, along with the discrimination and violence they face every day,” the group added.
Newsweek reached out to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health for comment.
As if we needed more proof that MTG is a gibbering, moronic idiot. Gender affirming care for minors doesn’t involve surgery until the person in question is of legal age to undergo such surgery in they country they reside in. Mostly it involves using a chosen name and pronouns, allowing the minor to decide what clothes to wear, and their hairstyle. In order etc allow the minor more time to decide on their path, they may be put on puberty blockers, which are fully reversible. All of this information is easily accessible online, but MTG is too stupid and arrogant to look up the facts.
Circumcising baby males is genital mutilation. They scream bloody murder when they do it to muslim women but not a peep when christians do it to their newborns. Fuck this hag. May she and tucker experience the rest of their lives in nothing but pain and agony of the worst sort ever imagined and then die and burn in their creators hell
Ref- chabad.org – When Abraham was 99 years old, G‑d appeared to him and instructed him to circumcise himself and all the male members of his household,
*God* being an invisible being …………………
Circumcision – removing the penis hood, exposing the nerve endings, making love making least effective .
This bill she is pushing would make it a FELONY to offer, conduct or facilitate any medical care for gender affirming treatments period. She wants to make doctors and parents criminals for having compassion and trying to help young people who are struggling with gender identity issues.
The show is more important than whether or not the bill passes. The hypocritical whore will then send out fundraiser messages “Give me money. Behold, I fight for Christian family values.”
They thought a man, who broke every one of the 10 commandments fought for Christian values, so why not?

I think it’s mostly because she’s a longtime Crossfit practitioner. The women in Crossfit have a certain look that isn’t to everyone’s taste. But in MTG’s case, it’s compounded by her somewhat neanderthal-looking facial features and all the batshit that comes out of her mouth.
But it *is* ironic that she would be attacking transgender people when she herself looks so much like a man in women’s clothing.
This is the republicans telling you who they are. He doesn’t want democracy but minority rule with him part of the rulers. He doesn’t see everyone as equal, he doesn’t want the land of the free. Republican candidates are showing us that they are the crack pot Qanon conspiracy believing haters and bigots. Also he wants to enforce his religion on everyone to force them to live by his church’s doctrines. We all should be worried because the maga base loves these crazy nuts. What about all that support the troops and back the blue slogans? Hugs
A Republican candidate for the House from St. Augustine is banned from Twitter after advocating violence against the federal government. Republican Luis Miguel, running against incumbent Rep. Bobby Payne of Palatka in the redrawn House District 20, was suspended from Twitter after a tweet advocating that Floridians should be able to shoot federal agents on sight.
“Under my plan, all Floridians will be able to shoot FBI, IRS, ATF, and all other federal troops on sight,” Miguel tweeted. “Let freedom ring.” Miguel told Florida Politics Friday the suspension, which is “permanent” per a message he got on his Twitter app, “doesn’t affect (him) at all.” He stands by the proposal, which he says is justified because the IRS has been “weaponized by dissident forces.”
His posts are still live on Instagram, where he also defends the Confederacy and calls himself a “proud Christian Nationalist.”
Miguel first appeared on JMG last summer when he held a rally calling for the release of “political prisoner” Capitol rioters.
In the final clip below, Miguel declares that the next presidential election “will not be decided at the ballot box, but on the battlefield.”
I'm sorry to have to post this, but this man is running for office in my area. It's real. And it's dangerous. I believe we must turn the mirror in on the lies being used to stir up people for heinous purposes. Someone is going to get killed. My heart is broken. @matthewjdowd pic.twitter.com/Qxn17gAviz
Miguel is a graduate of…(wait for it!)…Brigham Young University, did two years preaching Mormonism in Tijuana (as if Tijuana hasn’t suffered enough), advocates secession from the US, etc, etc, etc.
