Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
@JDVance The Trumps are barred from heading up charities in NY state because they stole the funds that were collected. Start with getting rid of that band of con artists and fraudsters!
@Partisan_12 What about the people in Palestine? Don’t they have a right to exist? If an American Muslim woman said the same words, she would be called a terrorist and a traitor!
BREAKING: Kristi Noem and her alleged lover spent billions of taxpayer dollars on empty warehouses with no toilets — now the DHS inspector general is investigating
Kristi Noem is finally gone from her former position as the Secretary of Homeland Security. The inspector general is now going through her receipts.
The Department of Homeland Security's watchdog has launched a formal audit of the $38 billion warehouse detention program that Noem and her shadow chief of staff — and alleged lover — Corey Lewandowski championed during her brief, chaotic tenure as DHS secretary. The probe will review all of the department's warehouse purchases, which have already raised alarms across party lines.
Here's what investigators are looking at: ICE bought 11 vacant warehouses in the span of a couple of months, at prices running 11 to 13 percent above comparable properties. The warehouses — the kind of empty spaces typically purchased by Amazon — had no working plumbing, weren't zoned for detention, and couldn't legally or practically hold detainees. Noem and Lewandowski were pressuring officials to open them by year's end anyway.
When Noem's replacement, Markwayne Mullin, walked in the door, he immediately paused the entire program.
But the contracting decisions are where it gets particularly suspicious. Nearly 50 contractors received $1.7 billion in contracts related to the warehouses — many of them companies with zero prior experience in immigration detention.
KVG LLC, a defense contractor that previously supported Coast Guard ships and ports, received a three-year, $113 million ICE contract. It had never worked in immigrant detention.
SK2 — a company formed in Puerto Rico in June 2024, just months before Trump's inauguration — received a $6 million DHS contract in January despite having no prior government contracts. It reincorporated in Tennessee in February, weeks after winning the deal.
Four other firms that had never received federal contracts before also landed work on the warehouse program. Together with KVG and SK2, their contracts are worth up to $500 million.
The inspector general is already separately investigating how DHS handled contracts last year and the role political appointees played in awarding them.
To recap: Noem and Lewandowski rushed billions of dollars in contracts to inexperienced companies for warehouses that didn't have toilets, weren't zoned for detention, and cost more than market rate — all while the inspector general was already circling.
And Republicans passed a bill giving this program $38 billion.
It’s time to end the rampant, egregious corruption of the Trump regime and begin to hold those who perpetrated it accountable.

@KyleClark@spencersoicher@nexton9news This is unacceptable in a city the size of Denver where the closest cities of comparable size and scale are arguably a thousand miles away. No one wants an over-policed Denver, but we need better infrastructures in place.
