The newly signed law says denial of care can’t be based on a patient’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, but it provides no protections on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Additionally, the law also allows healthcare employers to discriminate in hiring and bars medical boards from disciplining doctors for spreading misinformation, essentially forcing employers to keep workers who refuse to do their jobs, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) noted.
In a statement, the HRC said the newly signed law “creates a license to discriminate by allowing healthcare employers to discriminate in hiring, and it bars medical Boards from disciplining doctors for spreading misinformation.”
You would have to be willfully ignorant and aggressively naive to believe that Republicans won’t change any of the qualifiers at some future date. Clarence Thomas already implied that he thinks Marriage Equality should be overturned. If they’re coming for the “T” and the “Q” in LGBTQ today, you better believe they’ll be coming for the “LGB” tomorrow. And they won’t stop there.
Which is why I always find it wild when all the TERFs out there side with conservatives (knowingly or otherwise), foolishly thinking that they’re safe.
If you aren’t a wealthy, white, heterosexual, “Christian” male, then you’re fair game for Republican ChristoFascists—you are not safe.
Republicans want us dead. There’s no two ways about it, and nothing they can justify this level of cruelty and evil with. We do not fit into their idea of a perfect world, therefore we must be exterminated.

That’s exactly what’s going on, and the folks at the top still think they’re being lenient to their workers.
Think Americans are becoming too apathetic, uncaring, disengaging, etc.? It’s because we’re literally too worn out to do anything else. The current work culture tries to monopolize the energy we spend on any given day. If your whole life doesn’t revolve around your job, then you aren’t working hard enough in the eyes of the corporation and you’re getting a lecture about it by HR because you’re a slacker.
Heck, our schools are doing the same thing to our current generation of kids in preparation for even more demanding work schedules when they become adults.
At this rate, America will literally work itself to death.
Scalpers: There is a low supply and high demand for PS5s right now. I will buy up a bunch of them at market price just to resell at my new inflated price for personal profit
Average Person: Dude, you’re scum. This should be illegal
Scalpers: There is a low supply and high need for affordable housing right now. I will buy up a bunch of houses at their affordable price just to charge people my new inflated monthly price to live in them, without actually owning them. For personal profit.
Average Person: You may not like it, but this is a valid business practice and a necessary part of adult life. This is our free market at work, and-
People talk about “The Shape of Water” like it’s just the fish fucking movie as if it wasn’t about a mute woman feeling truly understood for the first time in her entire life and then yeah fucking a fish
