They're banking on the 6-3 conservative majority being willing to use their power.

When organized labor is crushed, what comes next is never pretty (see: 1930s Germany).

Love how legalization just has resulted in yet another field for capitalists to lie about their products...

Key takeaway from the article for me was this paragraph:

"The stark reality is now inescapable: legislations targeting the medical care of transgender adults have taken root, despite the claims of anti-trans activists that they are trying to “protect children” with these laws. Florida's new provisions represent the first significant restrictions on trans adult care to fully materialize."

wasn't "Russian" a category on most porn sites for the duration of the 2000s?

The headline should read something more like "Florida students to return to schools after fascist-overhaul of the curriculum" but that wouldn't be "objective" enough for NPR.

Students will literally be watching Prager U Kids videos, require parental permission for a nickname, and be forcibly misgendered by even their closest, favorite, teacher as a matter of State Law.

An internet devoid of unacceptable "deviations" from gender and sexuality too. Given the effort to erase trans and gay people from public spaces, this seems like a parallel effort to destroy their digital ones too.

Lawmakers across the country (United States) are trying to protect kids by age-gating parts of the internet.

The project has been delayed for years, but perhaps with Amtrak (and Andy Byford), the line will finally progress.

From the article, my emphasis added:

"Bills targeting the LGBTQ+ community remained stagnant for the initial months of North Carolina's legislative cycle. However, the landscape shifted when Democratic Representative Tricia Cotham, elected from a district which voted for her,** a Democrat, by +19points, switched to the Republican party**. This gave the GOP the crucial 72 votes required to override a governor's veto. Subsequently, these bills were promptly slated for hearings and aggressively advanced by the state's Republican leadership."

I've always been saying that if it were two Republicans that had held up every Trump legislative priority, Trump would have been bullying them every day until they acquiesced, but Biden allowed Manchin and Sinema to do exactly that and acted all powerless.

Isn't it odd how the Presidency is only weak when it comes to Democrats passing their own platforms?

Lmao this is the guy that first lead to them banning the communities right?

Love that lemmy.world seems to be making their moderation strategy based off of a troll with at least 4 alts....

I wonder how many former pro-lifers this will create as people watch their younger siblings, cousins, and other loved one's childhoods have their lives utterly ruined because they bought into theocratic propaganda about "the unborn".

Every time something like this happens it should be proof that it was about control and cruelty towards women and girls.

Sexualisation is hardly new - nor is it a dogma. A dogma is an insistence about certain things being unequivocally and unquestionably true - "sexualisation" isn't something that can be true or false since it's an abstract concept.

tl;dr: THE QUESTION: what context am I missing in regards to sexualisation as a "new and odd dogma?" Why?
