Holy shit. When I first heard about this letter, I assumed the state was interested in increasing a tax base or something. But this quote is abso-fucking-lutely insane. The idea that the state is willing to push victimized and traumatized teenagers to give birth is horrifying.

The ick factor only intensifies in some of the other arguments the Attorneys General make. The complaint also says that each of the states is “the legal parent or guardian of many minor girls of reproductive age”—a reference to girls in state custody, like foster care or juvenile detention. For those girls, they argue, the state is a stand-in for parents. And as parents, they claim, they have a right to consent to their children’s medical care, which is apparently nullified if teen girls in foster care can “obtain abortion drugs online by mail all on their own.” Under the state’s theory, it can separate children from their actual parents, declare itself their father now, and deem a daughter’s pregnancy her daddy’s prerogative.

Sunday Funday at the Lake.

I’m hearing people say that Bluesky is mean and toxic to people who express disagreement with progressive politics but when I ask which issues they’re disagreeing about exactly they keep not saying

This scandal is seriously: *in texting* "We should do this illegal thing" "I acknowledge that that illegal thing is illegal and a crime and also that we should do it" "We should delete our texts to cover our tracks of that illegal thing" "Yes, we always do that to cover for our crimes and texts"

Here’s a gift link to the Bouie piece everyone should read with a lede for the ages. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/14/o...

If Senator JD Vance of Ohio had a moral compass, a shred of decency or a belief in anything other than his own ambition and will-to-power, he would resign his Senate seat effective immediately, leave the presidential race and retire from public life, following a mournful apology for his ethical transgressions.

As it stands, Vance has done none of the above, which is why he is still, as of today, using his position in the United States Senate and on the Republican Party presidential ticket to spread lies and smears against his own constituents in Springfield — Haitian immigrants who have settled there to make a new life for themselves.

this is how i explained to a normie friend the despicable shit vance is doing. sharing in case it’s helpful to anyone having similar conversations.

there’s a town called springfield and there’s been a huge influx of legal haitian migrants there who were fleeing war in haiti, and they’ve basically revitalized the manufacturing business there by doing all the jobs and doing them well, but it’s caused a strain on housing and education in the area which obviously needs to be addressed. but instead of saying all that, vance is spreading the lie that the migrants are eating white peoples’s pets.
