Texas bill calls for ID requirement to buy sex toys online
In line with weirdo #MAGArepublicans preoccupation of our personal sex lives..The sex toy bill, S.B. 3003, proposes age-verification methods similar to those used by some states for porn sites, such as requiring users to submit a government-issued ID or using a third-party verification service to buy sex toys online.Violations of this would subject site owners to a $5,000 fee & a misdemeanor charge #handmaidstale mashable.com/article/texas-bil

Sorry, Vee, but as the #US are moving to closer to become the #HandmaidsTale's #Gilead, I think your pic requires an #AltText:

Here's an alt-text description for the image: A group of about a dozen women wearing bonnets and long dresses in shades of blue and purple stand on a grassy area, holding black books and singing into a microphone. The photo is captioned "Here's a sneak peak of next year's Super Bowl halftime show for all you complainers" with a laughing emoji. In the background, there are trees, buildings, and a man sitting on a park bench. Provided by @altbot, generated using Gemini
Scene from The Handmaid's Take on #Netflix: "Here is an alt-text description for the image: A high-angle shot shows a large gathering of people dressed in red robes and white bonnets, arranged in rows on a concrete plaza. In the distance, a large white cross stands prominently on a reflecting pool. Bare trees line the sides of the pool. The sky is overcast with some clouds. Provided by @altbot, generated using Gemini"

⬆️ >> Like in #HandmaidsTale, they renamed roads and cities, tore down, relocated and rebuilt train stations, and rewrote policies, culture, and history.

Both #Google and Apple have capitulated to #Trump on #MapMalfaesance, renaming #GulfOfMexico to #GulfOfAmerica.

This is not funny. This is a test of strength by the #TrumpAdministration before it renames roads, cities, stations, and more to confuse people and rewrite #history. #fascism

New York doctor indicted for prescribing #AbortionPill in #Louisiana

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "A New York doctor was indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on Friday for allegedly prescribing an abortion pill online in the #DeepSouth state, which has one of the strictest near-total #AbortionBans in the country.

"Grand jurors at the District Court for the Parish of West Baton Rouge issued an indictment against Dr. #MargaretCarpenter; her company, #NightingaleMedical, PC; and a third person. All three were charged with #CriminalAbortion by means of #abortion-inducing drugs, a #felony.

"The case appears to be the first instance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state, at least since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade in 2022 and opened the door for states to have strict anti-abortion laws."

>> There’s a Des Moines in Washington State that people here pronounce with the final ‘S’. That needs to change too.

>> A lot needs to change.

I'm worried bout the changes afoot in 2025.

Like in #HandmaidsTale, they renamed roads and cities, tore down, relocated and rebuilt train stations, and rewrote policies, culture, and history.

Pronunciation changes and new languages I can handle, but the dystopia that awaits is something else.
