There’s been a lot of reporting that the capital bathroom ban is not in Speaker Johnson’s rule package.
It’s misleading: it doesn’t need to be in the rule package.
The speaker controls the facilities, and he is using that to enact the capital bathroom ban and has since it was first debated.

A lot of people cannot grasp that their own personal and individual experience of the world is not universal, and they are totally comfortable showing immense cruelty to those whose experiences diverge from their own. This applies to so many issues that affect vulnerable people & it's a real shame!

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.
It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.
Warning signs are everywhere.

1. Ahead of 2025, nearly 120 anti-trans bills have been filed across the United States, far surpassing the 80 bills filed by this time in 2023.
The bills target the ability of trans people to move, live, and exist freely as themselves in public.

Trumpy poo poo pants does not like it when people say Elon Musk is the actual incoming president.
He doesn’t like it one fucking bit.
In fact, he’s really, really, REALLY mad about it.
So, whatever you do — don’t tell everyone you know to say Elon is the one calling the shots.
Don’t tell a soul. 😈

At least it’s not just kids cancer research Republicans are trying to cut. It’s also $215T worth of cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, veterans benefits & nutritional assistance.
All while adding $5T more to our debt so billionaires can make more billions.

1) Ken Paxton appears to be lying about the patient suffering "serious complications" that "required medical intervention."
2) We need to talk about how Paxton found out about this abortion

For those that think Paxton's theories of out-of-state jurisdiction are something new and limited to abortion... as is so often the case, we see it used first to target trans people.
