Texas Republican leaders endanger pregnant people. They have no regard for the US Constitution.
Texas' highest court on Friday refused to ensure that doctors are not prosecuted for abortions they believe are necessary in medically complicated pregnancies, rejecting a lawsuit by 22 patients & physicians.
"The anguish I felt this past week - never had before over pols -trying to make sense of the right *more the star of the American pol show. Ppl began telling me what I did was profoundly valuable to them. I still feared the future, but they were grateful, bc I inspired them to launch their own careers as activists/pols to fight for it. Always worse now: no going back to some innocent conservatism -if TFG wins: very bad -if he doesn't -may be worse."
The stakes are high for doctors in TX when it comes to abortion.
With 3 overlapping laws, TX bans nearly all abortions & has some of the strictest penalties for doctors in the US, incl. thousands of$ in fines, the loss of a medical license & even life in prison.
Republicans, #TFG, #socialmedia…: radicalized voters with disinfo…: An Illinois man arrested for amassing guns & pipe bombs for a civil war against immigrants & “a corrupt govt” was radicalized by RW conspiracy theories. His profile pic was the same upside-down flag Alito flew after the insurrection. His SM history: stolen election & antivax conspiracy theories, QAnon posts, & violent ideology. He was ready for a civil war bc he was led to believe the lies. #GOPDeathCulthttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/illinois-man-arrest-bomb-ready-for-civil-war-1235027015/
"Shout this from the rooftops: #TFG's "deportation plan" is really a plan for a US dictatorship. Blue cities will be in essence be invaded by red-state NG soldiers, who'll aid dead-of-night raids & violently suppress protests.
“I take all of it seriously,” Nunn, a counsel who monitors nat. sec. & liberty issues -expert in the pres. uses & abuses of the Insurrection Act *allows for the deployment of soldiers on US."
Perry's a free man -pardoned by a TX gov. who all but declared open season on pol protesters *views aren't favored by his extreme authoritarian state. Pardon's message: supposedly #1A-protected protests for causes like Black civil rights or agst the slaughter of civilians in Gaza can, & probably will, expose you to arrest or state violence, risk your: schooling/job o r-in danger of deadly vigilante justice.
It appears that #TFG has a sinister plan for winning the election, inciting specific violence, & this time it includes taking out Pres Biden. “Trump flattened for talking about executing Biden before gun owners.” #GOPTerrorism#GOPDeathCult#GunViolence
Many red 🩸state #MAGA parents aren’t vaccinating their children: “Responding to the rise in pertussis (#whoopingcough) cases in South Dakota, they’re up 4500%.” #GOPDeathCult
Republicans are taking away the right to survive in NC:
Bill would ban anyone from wearing a😷mask in public—even for health reasons.
"Bill: makes it a misdemeanor to wear a mask, punishable by 6-18 months of probation & a fine. The original statute *amended here, excludes official secret societies to be excluded from mask/hood prohibitions - Klan & Proud Boys conceivably could be exempt. Intent is to stop protests & prevent masking mandates."

MSM is focused on #TFG. He's not in court today, they could cover how Rs are passing laws that jeopardize the health & lives of IMGs/POC/Women/LGBTQ ppl...
#DeathSantis hid behind closed doors when signing the bill.
"Modern politics: Death of Shame, politicians -no longer shamed of behavior that'd humiliate most decent souls. FL makes it illegal to guarantee shade & water to outdoor WKRS. Recently a FL farm worker died from heat exhaustion."
#MAGAMike parrots his mentor's xenophobic rhetoric & says he'll help #TFG round up undocumented immigrants & deport ppl who've paid taxes & contributed to their communities & the workforce for years, sometimes, decades:
"Less than 24 hours after Democrats saved his job, Speaker Johnson vows to ‘round Up’ 11 million undocumented people, & likely deport them."
