‘Outrageous and unacceptable’: Biden and Harris decry Alabama court ruling on IVF | IVF | The Guardian

…Harris described the ruling as an attack on people trying to start families. “On the one hand, proponents are saying an individual doesn’t have a right to end an unwanted pregnancy, and on the other hand, the individual does not have a right to start a family,” she said. “And the hypocrisy abounds on this issue when you also consider that in the top 10 states with maternal mortality, there are abortion bans…”

GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville at CPAC: “I haven’t voted for any money to go to Ukraine because I know they can’t win.”

(Me: Senator Tuberville now parrots Putin and makes clear that he in a traitor to USA, Nato Allies and freedom fighters in the Ukraine!)

“We’re the one that forced this war, because we kept forcing NATO on Ukraine and showing Russia, hey, we’re going to build military bases on your borders. And Putin said, no, no, you’re not going to do that,” Tuberville said at the conservative conference in the D.C. area.

“I haven’t voted for any money to go to Ukraine because I know they can’t win,” the Republican senator continued…

Days after Alabama’s Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children, a third clinic pauses IVF treatment

A third fertility clinic in Alabama has halted part of its IVF treatment programs following the state Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children.

The Center for Reproductive Medicine at Mobile Infirmary said it will stop treatments on Saturday “to prepare embryos for transfer,” according to a statement from the clinic.

Mark Nix, the CEO of Infirmary Health, said in the statement that the Alabama Supreme Court decision “has sadly left us with no choice but to pause IVF treatments for patients. We understand the burden this places on deserving families who want to bring babies into this world and who have no alternative options for conceiving…”

Dozens of Rogue California Police Agencies Still Sharing Driver Locations with Anti-Abortion States | Electronic Frontier Foundation

California Attorney General Rob Bonta should crack down on police agencies that still violate Californians’ privacy by sharing automated license plate reader information with out-of-state government agencies, putting abortion seekers and providers at particular risk, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the state’s American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) affiliates urged in a letter to Bonta today. 

In October 2023, Bonta issued a legal interpretation and guidance clarifying that a 2016 state law, SB 34, prohibits California’s local and state police from sharing information collected from automated license plate readers (ALPR) with out-of-state or federal agencies. However, despite the Attorney General’s definitive stance, dozens of law enforcement agencies have signaled their intent to continue defying the law. 

The EFF and ACLU letter lists 35 specific police agencies which either have informed the civil liberties organizations that they plan to keep sharing ALPR information with out-of-state law enforcement, or have failed to confirm their compliance with the law in response to inquiries by the organizations…

Darryl George lost the fight to keep his locs at a certain length

On Thursday, a judge ruled that Barbers Hill Independent School District’s dress code does not violate the CROWN ACT, which prohibits race-based hair discrimination in Texas workplaces, schools, and housing policies.

According to NBC News, the decision was met with frustration by George’s family and tears from the teenager, who still could not accept the court’s choice.

Diário das coisas que não aconteceram – O Outro Lado

Limpei a nossa rua…
varri certas loucuras à noite
-do tipo verdes e pequenas.

Sabia que ainda venta muito
sem Você?
Fico de sombra em sombra…
dá um azar danado pisar
no pedaço iluminado
que limpei.
