@ABC11_WTVD Johnston County needs to be sued in a class action suit. I will be happy to join. My father was hit by a driver who sped through the stop sign and his injuries were horrific. Our lives were ruined by this intersection in June 2021. The driver might as well have killed my dad.

@raisingcivlit @Froddy_Play @MCVideos001 It will take a few years to work through our broken court system, so at least there is that.

@raisingcivlit @Froddy_Play @MCVideos001 Congress passes these laws because that is their function. Just like setting minimum wage for non-Federal employees. They can pass legislation that prevents employers from discriminating against gender, especially when Maga Christians suddenly decide BC is bad.

[Yarn Addict @criminalcrochet]

@raisingcivlit @Froddy_Play @MCVideos001 It is regulated by the federal government. Employers with 50+ employees must offer it. That is why Hobby Lobby didn't just pull insurance. There are many laws re: health insurance, including having to offer it to people who work 30 hours a week.

@raisingcivlit @Froddy_Play @MCVideos001 Also, I am not arguing the law. It is Congress' job to pass laws when they see the matter hasn't been addressed. Pass the law, then companies can't willfully abuse employees to save hundreds of thousands when they renegotiate their health insurance contract.

@raisingcivlit @Froddy_Play @MCVideos001 And even if it was only used for contraception, what gives your employer or state government the right to stop you and your husband (or vice versa) from safe family planning? I am amazed how many people are fighting to have companies and government interfere in their lives.

@raisingcivlit @Froddy_Play @MCVideos001 Hobby Lobby, etc. They are not Catholic. It's selective "belief" and saves a company a ton when meds are excluded. Being able to not have your employer or state government dictate your private meds is fundamental freedom. They can just as easily say they don't "believe" in chemo.

[Yarn Addict @criminalcrochet]

@raisingcivlit @Froddy_Play @MCVideos001 So we all should have the right to medication and not allow a company to cry religion to save money on their insurance plan. If someone could easily purchase affordable health care from another insurance company, then they could get another plan.

[Yarn Addict @criminalcrochet]

@raisingcivlit @Froddy_Play @MCVideos001 This would make sense *if* the health insurance market was truly a free market. Instead, you are stuck with the health insurance your employer offers, and BC is used to treat health issues like PCOS. It's not just for contraception. Women who can't have children need it, too.

@JBurrellVdC5d @KathyGoodin4 @SergeantAqGo I think Kathy is saying that the person harassing the Sergeant should be asked those questions, suggesting the Sergeant turn it around and ask the Trump supporter those questions.

BREAKING: Employees of a Texas-contracted facility meant to care for children who are victims of sex trafficking was discovered sex trafficking the same children, aged 11 to 17, according to a federal judge.

Story to come @TexasTribune.

@MaggyWillis @edredmny @GeraldoRivera And the adults are killed with their kids -- the kids aren't alone. Putin's campaign is one of terror. War is terrifying enough but he wants people to flee from terror so he can take control more quickly.

[Yarn Addict @criminalcrochet]

@MaggyWillis @edredmny @GeraldoRivera It was a children's hospital. So children are going to be there. He is also shelling apartment buildings where families live. Maternity hospitals have children in them, too, obviously. Not sure why that is hard to figure out.

You absolutely gotta watch to the end.

@MReicin @GeraldoRivera Biden *is* the military. He's Commander in Chief. Soldiers can have different opinions, but they follow orders. And we can't go in unless he attacks Nato because that would be declaring war on Russia without our allies.

Respect! Godspeed warriors!

@realist_ron @7blacklabs @theingented @Desert_yoSemite @FoxNews I am only worried about what he will do before he's taken out. He is isolated and protecting himself. I am praying Russians who can get close to him take care of business.
