@cdarwin my mother’s oldest brother died of polio as a toddler in the 1920’s. His parents held him in their arms while he gasped for breath then died. Apparently, the #republicans have decided to bring that back. They’re mentally ill and they’re going to condemn a lot of people to a horrifying death. It’s time to vote out all #gop representatives
A pair of Texas professors figured out that their female students have sex and, boy, they do not like it.
So now the philosophy professor and finance professor are suing for the right to punish their students who, outside of class, have abortions.
"Pregnancy is not a disease, and elective abortions are not 'health care,'" University of Texas at Austin professor Daniel Bonevac sneers in a federal court filing with professor John Hatfield.
Instead, Bonevac writes, because pregnancy is the result of "voluntary and consensual sexual intercourse," students should not be allowed time off to get abortions.
If the students disobey and miss class for abortion care, the filing continues, the professors should be allowed to flunk students.
Additionally, Bonevac asserts that he has a right to refuse to employ a teaching assistant who has had an abortion, calling such women "criminals." https://www.salon.com/2024/06/03/texas-professors-to-fail-students-seek-abortions/
Marjorie Taylor Greene Greene disgracefully disrespected Dr. Fauci during a hearing today: "Mr Fauci -- because you're not 'doctor' -- you're Mr. Fauci in my few minutes. No, I don't need your answer ... he belongs in prison"
The #republicans have been in power in #Texas for over 25 years. They’re running ads telling #voters to #vote for them so they can fix what’s broken. The #gop broke Texas and now they want you to re-elect them to fix what they broke. Really?
I’ve moved to @mastodon.social I’ve been informed @home.social is going away. It migrated my followers but it didn’t follow accounts so I’m trying to take care of it #mastodon
#Louisiana Senator’s feefees were hurt when he was cursed by a constitutient. Of course LSU is willing to punish the constituent because #republicans control the purse strings of the university. The #GOP are willing to destroy lives but don’t want to be called out for doing it
One of my neighbors had an A/C failure. They called a well known company in the area and they charged $1,900 to fix the A/C. It lasted one day. Our neighbors needed help so my Mom called our handyman and he called an A/C guy that has just started his business. He fixed the issue for $300. We’re setting #heat records. Please be careful who you hire to fix your A/C. Name brands don’t necessarily mean you’ll get the help you need #business#summer
The Colorado-based property owners allege that HRM Resources, a company backed by private equity group Kayne Anderson, bought uneconomic wells from Chevron and other producers and used a corporate restructuring and bankruptcy scheme to dodge its liability to properly close them down. ClientEarth, the non-profit legal group that filed the suit on Wednesday, said it was aimed at industry practices broadly.
I’d like to point out to younger people that good or bad, future employers check your social media before deciding whether to hire you or not. They’re not supposed to do that but I know many do so consider what you post and how it could affect your future. #jobs#employment#socialmedia
