Florida Medical Board Moves To Ban Trans Healthcare

Florida Medical Board Moves To Ban Trans Healthcare

 

Florida Politics reports:

Members of the state medical board have agreed to initiate rules that could ban physicians from providing gender-affirming care to transgender people under the age of 18, while also limiting access to care to adults.

The vote by the Board of Medicine on Friday means the Board will begin a several month process that Chairman and Winter Park physician David Diamond said would include public meetings across the state.

Board of Medicine Vice Chairman and Fort Lauderdale physician Kevin Cairns was the only Board member to oppose the rulemaking, which was sought by Gov. Ron DeSantis and state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo.

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo last appeared on JMG earlier this week when he cast doubts on the efficacy of the monkeypox vaccine.

Ladapo, who has refused to disclose his own COVID vaccination status, is affiliated with the far-right anti-vax group, America’s Frontline Doctors.

Early this year the Florida Senate approved him as state surgeon general despite reports that he lied about having treated COVID patients while working at UCLA’s hospital.

During his confirmation hearing, he repeatedly refused to say if he believes that COVID vaccines are effective.

Bigots took over the medical field, that’s what.

There’s also this shit.
LGBT folks in Tampa now have a Federalist Society bigot as the top DA for their area.
I wonder how she’ll be in interacting with LGBT folks?

I think it’s time for CA, OR, WA, HI, NY, NJ, VT, MA, CT, MD, etc. to officially declare Florida to be a “shithole country” (especially the parts immediately around Merde-A-Lardo and wherever Ron DuhSantis is at the moment) and require visas and vaccinations to travel to/from there.

You mean back then when the only people who had a say in matters of importance were white, male, and wealthy? Some of them are there already.

That sloppy noise you hear is all the lawyers salivating. Tie up the courts, keep us bogged down fighting the culture war, and rob us blind.

This mofo DeathSentence won election by just four-tenths of one percent — just by 33,000 votes. And he governs as if he had an overwhelming popular mandate to drag Florida back into the Middle Ages.

This is one of the big differences between RepubliQans and Democrats.

Yes, and it’s a relevant one.
Another big difference – they fall in line and goosestep down to vote.
We have to fall in love before we even think about maybe showing up at the polls.
If there’s nothing better streaming.

We have a bunch of fake Christians and far-right fascist idealogues promoting the end of personal freedom and the beginning of a theocracy for Florida. Hold onto your hats–it’s going to get very ugly there.

Republicans: We ❤️ freedom. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!

Also Republicans: We need to BAN anything and everything that we don’t like, care for or agree with.

NC County Places AR-15 Rifles In Every Public School

NC County Places AR-15 Rifles In Every Public School

 

The Asheville Citizen-Times reports:

In response to the Texas school shooting that left 19 children dead May 24, a local school system and Sheriff’s Office are rolling out some beefed up security measures in 2022-23, including putting AR-15 rifles in every school.

Madison County Schools and Madison County Sheriff’s Office are collaborating to enhance security in the schools for the upcoming school year.

“Those officers were in that building for so long, and that suspect was able to infiltrate that building and injure and kill so many kids,” Sheriff Buddy Harwood said. “I just want to make sure my deputies are prepared in the event that happens. We were able to put an AR-15 rifle and safe in all of our schools in the county.”

Read the full article. Madison County, population 21,000, has six public schools.

From the article at the link above.   That guy will do anything to keep kids safe … except restricting guns in the US and having sensible gun control safety laws.   Hugs

I do not want to have to run back out to the car to grab an AR, because that’s time lost. Hopefully we’ll never need it, but I want my guys to be as prepared as prepared can be.” 

Harwood said he feels while the optics of the SROs potentially handling AR-15s in schools may be discomforting to some, it is a necessary response given the state of the country.

“I’m a firearms instructor. We carry a (9 mm) 135-grain bullet,” Harwood said. “We’ve got the maximum 50 rounds that my SROs are carrying throughout the school to protect that school. 

“I hate that we’ve come to a place in our nation where I’ve got to put a safe in our schools, and lock that safe up for my deputies to be able to acquire an AR-15. But, we can shut it off and say it won’t happen in Madison County, but we never know. I want the parents of Madison County to know we’re going to take every measure necessary to ensure our kids are safe in this school system. If my parents, as a whole, want me to stand at that door with that AR strapped around that officer’s neck, then I’m going to do whatever my parents want as a whole to keep our kids safe.”

Cultist Dodges Ticket With “White Privilege” Card

Cultist Dodges Ticket With “White Privilege” Card

Vice News reports:

A Trump-loving Californian visiting Anchorage for a MAGA rally last month showed local police a novelty “white privilege card” after she was pulled over for swerving in her lane.

But instead of citing or ticketing the woman for failing to show her driver’s license, cellphone video taken by the motorist shows officers had a laugh, took a selfie with the woman, and let her go.

“You like my white privilege card?” the woman, Mimi Israelah, asked Officer Nicholas Bowe, while holding the card that reads “White Privilege Card Trumps Everything.” “That’s hilarious,” Bowe responds as his partner, Charles Worland, smiles next to him.

NBC News reports:

In a message posted to the Anchorage Police Department’s website, Chief Michael Kerle said he wanted, “to personally address the community to provide some clarity regarding [their] internal standards of conduct.”

“I know we are all human,” he said in the statement. “But we belong to a profession that does not tolerate, practice, condone, facilitate, or collaborate with any form of discrimination.” Deputy Chief Sean Case said some who saw the post had negative reactions and believed it was inappropriate. “We recognize that,” he said.

Worland and Bowe were placed on administrative during the 11-day investigation, Case said. Police would not provide additional information about the investigation, including which policies were violated and what, if any, repercussions the officers faced.
