    Republicans PASS $886 billion 'anti-woke' defense spending bill that limits abortion access for troops, funding of transgender medical care and diversity and inclusion initiatives
    • The bill gives a 5.2 percent pay raise to service members and funds the Pentagon through fiscal year 2024
    • GOP included amendments on limiting access to abortion from troops
    • Also put limits on diversity and inclusion considerations in recruitment and funding for transgender care

    Weird to think we were somehow more supportive and accepting of trans women in 1952 than we are today in 2023. Trans women serving in the military before transition was a fairly common thing because that GI healthcare was really good, and covered all the very expensive procedures some trans women want to get. The culture of acceptance that began with Christine Jorgensen is gone.

    Pretty insane results for the 1950s. Also worth noting that Christine intended to just blend into society, so the positive press (for lack of a better term) was a bit of an invasion of privacy.

    It was the 1950s so there was a lot of that “Miracles of the Atomic Age” type of coverage where the science was actually the star. There were certainly many before her who did completely disappear into their new life and never got found out until they died. A lot of trans guys in the 1800s as an example.

    Although the Oklahoma state school superintendent is banning teaching about the Tulsa race massacre, he wants to require teaching the Christian bible. He said it is the foundational document of the United States. Silly me, I always thought the foundational document was the Constitution.

    At the America First conference, Trump dinner guest Nick Fuentes was wildly cheered when calling for murder of all Jews.

    Months ago, Vanderbilt University medical center turned over to Tennessee attorney general unredacted medical records of anyone seeking or merely discussing gender affirming care. No opt out, no editing out identifying information. He said he is searching the records for ... something.

    Now 19 Republican state attorneys general are demanding Biden administration allow them access to medical records of all women who left the state (all these states have outlawed abortion) for medical care so they can ascertain if the women received legal abortion in other states.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene displayed poster size copies of Hunter Biden's dick pics at Congressional hearing and sent them out by email. Including apparently to minors. She said she is investigating whether he had distributed porn.

    By distributing porn.

    An Alabama state department of education employee and chair of a statewide anti abortion group that helped write legislation banning abortion was arrested on charges of sexual assault of a 10 year old.
    He is not a drag queen.
