It's a secondary blog that still works for some reason.
People on Tiktok when they find out intrusive thoughts can be very violent and offensive and morally wrong and it's not just impulsively dying your hair at 2am

hey people living in the USA: if your doctor wants you to give a urine or blood sample for any reason, especially before you recieve a procedure or surgery, refuse to allow them to perform a pregnancy test. say that there's no possible way you could be pregnant and insist on being given a waiver to sign instead. if you are found to be pregnant by a medical professional it will end up in your medical record and could expose you to risk of being prosecuted for terminating your pregnancy.
the 17 year old recently charged in nebraska for a self induced abortion is being prosecuted for performing one after the 20 week time limit permitted by nebraska state law because police were able to access her medical records to prove that she was pregnant and how many weeks along she was
obviously don't talk on social media about your unwanted pregnancy or plans to get rid of it but you cannot let doctors in restricted states know either
âPeople shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.â -V for Vendetta
Everyone is talking about the Roe v Wade, so I'd like to draw your attention to another decision made this morning that should scare the shit out of you if you have any distrust in cops.
Supreme Court ruled that cops don't HAVE to read you your Miranda Rights.
The Supreme Court limited the ability to enforce Miranda rights in a ruling Thursday that said that suspects who are not warned about their
"Today's ruling doesn't get rid of the Miranda right," said Steve Vladeck, CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor at the University of Texas School of Law. "But it does make it far harder to enforce. Under this ruling, the only remedy for a violation of Miranda is to suppress statements obtained from a suspect who's not properly advised of his right to remain silent. But if the case never goes to trial, or if the government never seeks to use the statement, or if the statement is admitted notwithstanding the Miranda violation, there's no remedy at all for the government's misconduct."
What does this mean?
Well, your Miranda Rights is the whole "You're under arrest. Anything can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you can not afford one one will be appointed for you."
Why is this important?
On June 13, 1966, the U.S. Supreme Court hands down its decision in Miranda v. Arizona, establishing the principle that all criminal suspect
Miranda Rights were established in 1966. Basically an 18 year old and interrogated when we was accused of rape. The police left with a confession, which he later recanted. He was obviously sent to prison, but his appeal was essentially "I didn't know I had the right to remain silent."
Now, the right to remain silent may seem obvious, but you know how cops are bullies and will strong arm literally anyone with "You will do as I say because I'm in a position of authority." Ergo, it's not off-point to believe that you have to answer the questions just because the cops are in a position of authority.
Why is this an issue, especially in a time when so many people are fighting for police reform?
Because in the interrogation room there's a HUGE power imbalance between you and the cops. You need that lawyer to offset the power imbalance. You need that lawyer (even if it's a court appointment) to say "My client won't be answering that question." Shit. You NEED a representative in that room with you that can leave the room at the end of the day that's an upstanding citizen that the general populace will believe. So you know if the cops do any shady interrogation tactics, you've got a witness by your side that's legally obligated to look after your best interest.

I want everyone to know that there are queers in the hollers of Appalachia, in the bayous and marshland of the Deep South, in Southwestern deserts, through the Ozark mountains and up to the Rockies. There are queers in the Great Plains, there are queers in rural America, in trailer parks of the Osage foothills. In the places you least expect us to live, we are here, carving out community and fighting for liberation with pride despite it all. Stop forgetting about us. Stop overlooking our experiences and our impact just because we donât live in a Big Gay City. And for the love of God, stop looking at us with pity.
Also, there are ALLIES out here.
I live in a no-stoplight town in the south. There are three tractor stores and two animal supply stores within 25 minutes of my house, and we finally got a grocery store, apparently some time this year. We have no McDonald's or any other kind of chain restaurant.
I saw a redneck at the country store face down a guy whining about the trans menace and tell him to act like he had fuckin' southern manners, or move up north.
And that redneck was a better ally than most people online
queer existence is part of the human condition. queer people exist everywhere, in every community. queer people are part of LGBTQ history. and it's way too easy to overlook the experiences of queer folks who live in regions where, for one reason another, other people think they can't exist or don't belong. i fully think that everyone should read about the lived experiences of people outside of their origins. so. i have (America-focused) memoir and nonfiction recommendations!!!

I donât understand how this kind of power works between the Supreme Court and the rest of the government. They say âthe authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives,â but if the Court is the ultimate arbiter of whatâs âConstitutional,â and they claim thereâs no Constitutional right, wouldnât they also be able (and inclined) to shut down any future law protecting abortion? Even if some miracle law and we got a federal law protecting access nationwide, whatâs to stop the Court from destroying it too for the same reasons?Â
The reason that the Supreme Court can decide on abortion rights like this is because there is no federal law protecting abortion rights in the US, just the Roe v. Wade decision. This gives the Court the ability to overturn abortion rights by deciding that there is no constitutional right to abortion, thus leaving abortion policy up to state legislatures until the national US congress does something about it.
If congress passed new abortion protections, the court couldn't strike them down with the same reasoning they used to strike down Roe v. Wade. They would have to create a new ruling saying that federal abortion protections are actually in violation of the constitution, which would be a far harder case for the court to argue than to simply say that the constitution doesn't protect abortion.
The US Congress has the constitutional ability to re-legalize abortion on a national level. In fact, congress was considering a bill to do so under Obama, but the Democratic Party decided it wasn't a priority.
