Really figures they’d go for incarcerated people first, it’s such a politically acceptable target that I can easily see even ‘trans-ally’ liberals defending it. Fucking ‘Real You Act’, too.
side note: this particular bill/anti trans legislation was introduced by MS Senator Chad McMahan (R) who can be reached at 662-871-9299, 601-359-2886 and/or by email at: [email protected].

Love the American healthcare system where I’m getting a colonoscopy, a totally routine procedure, and have no idea how much it will cost me until I get the bill because 1) I don’t know what medications or supplies will be administered during the procedure until they shoot me up and 2) I don’t know what the cost of those medications and supplies will be because the hospital’s prices and the insurance’s plan allowance are both secret
FUN FACT
AS OF THE NEW YEAR THIS SPECIFIC PRACTICE IS NOW ILLEGAL
CERTAIN SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS FROM OUT OF NETWORK PROVIDERS ARE ILLEGAL AS OF LIKE LITERALLY LAST WEEK. LIKE THE THING YOU LITERALLY JUST DESCRIBED. ILLEGAL.
Regarding surgery, the anaesthesiologist specifically can no longer send you a separate bill if they’re out of network if your surgeon is in network!! You only pay your in network bills!!
It’s awesome and this is the biggest news in healthcare since Obamacare!!

Arlon Tussing- the speaker at this Democratic Socialist Club- was one of the energy economists who helped convince Alaska to create a state fund with its oil revenues and distribute the revenue directly as checks to Alaskan citizens, which to this day is one of the reasons that Alaska has some of the lowest inequality and poverty rates in the country

If environmental activists, both soft and hard line, had any courage, they would promote an effort to discourage any tourism to Idaho. This action is insane.
Excerpt from this New York Times story:
The Idaho Senate approved a bill this week that would permit the state to hire contractors to kill up to 90 percent of Idaho’s wolves with the goal, supporters said, of protecting cattle and other agricultural interests.
“These wolves, there’s too many in the state of Idaho,” State Senator Mark Harris, a Republican, said on the Senate floor before the vote on Wednesday, after telling a story about a “gentleman rancher” whose livelihood was jeopardized when a pack of wolves scared off his cattle.
Idaho’s Wolf Conservation and Management plan calls for the state to maintain a wolf population of at least 150 wolves. At last count, Mr. Harris said, 1,556 wolves were roaming the state.
“They’re destroying ranchers; they’re destroying wildlife,” he said.
The bill would give the state’s Wolf Control Fund an additional $190,000 to hire contractors to kill wolves — on top of $400,000 previously allocated toward killing wolves in Idaho. The bill also would remove a limit on the number of wolves a hunter is permitted to kill.
The Senate approved the bill in a 26-7 vote on Wednesday. The measure now goes to the State House of Representatives. The office of Governor Brad Little, a Republican, declined to say whether he planned to sign the bill. Last year Mr. Little signed another bill boosting funds for the killing of wolves.
Backers of the bill said that wolves also reduce the numbers of deer and elk available to hunters, taking an additional economic toll on the state. Some lawmakers disputed that hiring contractors would drive the wolf population down to just 150, while others referenced the 150 figure as if were the goal.
While sometimes their population does need to be controlled, 90% is over the top, unnecessary, and cruel. Wolves are a keystone species and important to the environment. They control the population of deer and keep the herds healthy by hunting the sick, weak, and elderly. Moreover, they keep herds moving, which helps ensure the new growth of local flora that provides resources and environments to other animals. If the wolves are really a problem, there are definitely better ways to handle it.

While the news that Ted Cruz decided to take his family on a vacation in Cancun during the worst climate disaster Texas has seen...in a while is not SURPRISING, it does illustrate an important point.
Climate disasters will not affect us all equally. Climate change will hurt the global poor first and worst. While floods and droughts and heat waves and ice storms will ravage the world, the richest and most powerful will still be able to hop on a plane to whatever corner of the planet is still habitable, or go off in their space arc, or hide away on their Mars colony run by Indentured servants.
Do not forget this. Those in power have so much less to lose by doing nothing about climate change. They can afford to let us burn and freeze and drown if it saves them some pennies along the way.

don't you forget Georgia flipped because Stacey Abrams, black woman born in Georgia, took the time to help thousands of people register to vote and took the time to educate as many as possible.
you know someone in the replies said i should expand on this and they’re 100% right: Stacey Abrams is an incredibly intelligent and educated black woman who would have blessedly been Georgia’s governor had Kemp not enabled voting suppression. She served in the Georgia house of senate from 2007 to 2017, and she founded the fair fight action to counteract the extreme voter suppression that’s so common in the deep south. she’s an author, a politician, a minority leader, and years fucking later me and so many other people living in Georgia are furious she isn’t the governor she deserves to be.
