Federal taxes (income, corporate, payroll, etc...) are levied directly on individuals & firms, so there's no mechanism for states to withhold funds.

Not going to go too deep into the pop phrenology, but kinda looks like an archetypical groyper.

Apparently, the man who was arrested was not the shooter and the shooter remains at large. Still hoping that it wasn't a trans, queer or BIPOC person, and that the shooter was some right-winger or radical centrist.

Was incredibly scared that the shooter would be trans or otherwise visibly queer, so I am pretty relieved that the alleged shooter is a an old white guy.

Looks like there might be another wave of zionist aggression coming?

It's from r/mapporncirclejerk, so I don't think it's necessarily made by a chud as it's a clear parody of what chuds believe. It's likely that the map maker included whatever left-wing and vaguely left-wing names to throw in the mix to maximize the troll potential.

 

Tag yourself. I am stuck in backed-up traffic in Lenin Tunnel in my state-funded BYD in our mandatory polycule/carpool.

More accurately, the court rules that discrimination on the basis of gender dysphoria and linked diagnoses does not require heightened scrutiny. What this does is to allow the states and federal government to ban HRT and gender affirming surgeries as legitimate care for these diagnoses. It does uphold all extant bans, and gives the green light for more expansive GAC bans. It also definitely upholds the military ban on trans service-people since that is based on a gender dysphoria diagnosis.

So, it is not an immediate ban on GAC for minors, but definitely makes an enforceable ban for both minors and adults much more likely.

This is a horrifying travesty inflicted by the state on this woman, the child and their family. The fact that her (effective) corpse was used as a forced gestation machine is just another terrifying manifestation of the far-right misogynist, forced-birth/natalist and fascist that is being established in the US. Of course, the state is more than happy to wash their hands of the incident and pass on the cost of this procedure to the family. The point of the agenda is not to care for or nuture children, but to use force childbirth as a way to control women.

Ansarallah had make public statements that if the US ceased the bombing campaign that they would cease attacks on US ships, so I guess it's related to that.
