Thursday Friday Saturday 2022-11-04 Florida medical boards sign off on ban prohibiting gender-affirming care for kids (h/t) «The rulemaking goes against recommendations made by groups such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society and the American Medical Association.» Worst thing is, it's all just a political stunt; they don't even believe they're helping kids. 2022-11-04 It’s as if a HOA has taken over the town (via): petty racism and authoritarianism. US/MN/Rush City 2022-11-03 Why Democrats Are Losing Hispanic Voters «The left has alienated America’s fastest-growing group of voters just when they were supposed to give the party a foolproof majority.» @Sunspot on democracy.town: « I usually like what’s in The Atlantic but this is a major misrepresentation. Most of the “policies” mentioned are not actually Democratic policies. Climate change and LGBTQ rights? Everyone should care about that. I don't think these people are misrepresenting how they feel, but it's mostly a testament to Republican narrative domination. Was a single specific Dem policy [even] mentioned? Everything Hispanic voters say they care about in this piece is better addressed by Democrats. A far more informative piece would have been about Republican disinformation campaigns flooding Hispanic voters, especially through right wing radio. »
