Yes, Mike, and that is exactly the problem with having christian nationalists take over our government. Maybe if you could just try to do at least one other thing to help people? Anything, really. Just try it.

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

this is not a "failure", or even an unintended consequence of bathroom policing, btw. anything that makes a trans life harder to live is a success for the people who make these laws

The Missouri Supreme Court has put the state's abortion ban back into effect following an appeal from AG Andrew Bailey.
This was only possible after lawmakers passed a bill in April allowing the AG to challenge preliminary injunctions.
