Yes NYC is total anarchy. We're all wearing masks, standing in line 6 feet apart and getting our temps taken before being able to go into a store or use the bathroom in a bar. You have to order food with every drink and all bars close at 11. Mass chaos
I just stepped outside to enjoy the anarchy myself. I pulled my mask down to take a sip of coffee and someone shouted "YOU'RE SELFISH" so I pulled it back up
I ordered a negroni and the bartender handed me a PB&J on white bread wrapped in plastic. I asked if I could have a different food, maybe one that tasted good with a negroni, and he said "no, you chose this anarchist jurisdiction"
Ok I'm done.

For context, her fetus was diagnosed with a fatal condition, she could lose her uterus if she doesn’t have this abortion, she had to petition a judge to override the Texas abortion ban, the judge tearfully granted her an exception, and Texas’ AG is now threatening her doctor.
Worth noting that Ken Paxton, the Texas AG threatening the woman’s doctor, is this guy. texastribune.org/2023/05/28/tex…

Paxton reportedly escaped impeachment by threatening lawmakers with political retribution dallasnews.com/news/politics/…

Tonight, North Carolina Republicans overrode the Democratic governor's veto to jam a 12-week abortion ban into law, against the will of the people. The GOP had a veto-proof majority only because Rep. Tricia Cotham switched parties and joined them jezebel.com/north-carolina…
If you want to know why Cotham, a former Democrat who represents a very blue district in the state and has spoken passionately for years about abortion rights, would suddenly switch sides-- you need to read this reporting by @SusanRinkunas jezebel.com/angry-ex-staff…
@SusanRinkunas North Carolinians oppose a 12-week abortion ban by a margin of 54 to 40, per the latest poll. They voted for Cotham thinking she'd defend abortion rights, because she said she would. This story is truly insane.

Enjoying watching the right act surprised that Donald Trump doesn't actually give a shit about abortion, has no genuinely held beliefs at all, never keeps any promises, and will obviously continue to do whatever he thinks will help him win at any cost
Trump pretended to be super anti-abortion in the 2016 election because there was an empty SCOTUS seat to fill, and evangelicals were motivated to hold their noses and vote for him based on the potential of overturning Roe. It worked, and now abortion is a losing issue for the GOP
I don't believe for one second that anyone ever thought Donald Trump cared about fetuses. These indignant statements and think pieces are fucking hilarious

You may have seen the viral story Bari Weiss' "Free Press" published about a trans teen's mom regretting approving their puberty blockers.

The teen has spoken out and said the story is full of misinformation and lacks their very different perspective: jezebel.com/gender-fluid-t…
Notably, the story was written by Emily Yoffe, who has a long history of bullshit

“I said that I wanted to read it first,” Casey wrote. “When I read the draft I was disgusted with what the reporter and my mom had made my experience out to be.”

Tennessee Republicans are voting to expel 3 Democratic lawmakers from the State House for having led pro-gun-control chants after a mass shooting at an elementary school last week. They've been removed from committees and stripped of their House IDs jezebel.com/tennessee-repu…
absolutely wild quote from one of the lawmakers getting targeted: Image
The AP notes that these three Democrats will join only two other lawmakers to have have been expelled since the Civil War.

The banned books included Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson, They Called Themselves the K.K.K.: The Birth of an American Terrorist Group by Susan Campbell Bartoletti, and Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen by Jazz Jennings.
Rare to see any positive news out of Texas (or any federal judges) these days, so this feels worth boosting
At the point where you're banning a book about the KKK, you're pretty much just showing your ass
