When asked if he would make her go to a boy's bathroom, he then allegedly backed away, saying, "You're attacking me," turned around, and walked off quickly.
incredible stuff folks
Wow I didn't know little kids could decapitate politicians by being trans but he's right the little girl is dangerous lol
Bigots are so fucking spineless, man.
Will no one think of the poor, powerless lawmakers, helpless against the whims of the trans children who hold all the power in society?
Big "stop resisting" vibes
"I'm not transphobic, phobia implies fear and I'm not afraid!"
"Boo."
you really gotta wonder what's going on inside that senator's head. presumably not a whole lot.
It's probably full of "Family Values"
or worms. it could be full of worms.
:brainworms:
wish it were full of bullets
as much as it would feel gratifying to kill this guy, there's ten more like him to fill his place.
10 more guys? 10 more bullets
a zombie movie, but our intrepid survivors are killing a horde of that guy until no more step up to fill his place
Yeah... A Movie...
Incredible. Their "commitment" to "protecting children" is already a farce, and these fuckers can't even commit to pretending.
What a fucking coward. May his death be prolonged and painful.
Another bill, Senate Bill 88, which would enact policies to out transgender youth to their parents, was recently passed through committee while senators only allowed people who supported the bill to speak.
Least contemptible politician
flee, ghoul. we will hunt you to the ends of your empire.
From the "we can tell" crowd, he used her correct pronouns when saying he would make her go to the "right" bathroom.
Real normal and generally mature way for a 66 year old man to be acting.
(Then again, we did just have a 57 year old Oklahoma politician try to push a bill mandating the use of county resources to pester hypothetical middle- and high-schoolers for the sake of a dumb joke)
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
