If the baby was born with obvious signs of drug use by the mother then you might have a case. But drug testing every single woman who gives birth is excessive and fascist.

If hospitals are doing this, women are going to stop trusting them to deliver their babies and start giving birth at home with the aid of a midwife instead.

More reason for women to avoid getting pregnant all together.

Or maybe we should stop drug testing people and exit the fascist fucking police state.

Because we are all sick and tired of only having conservatives to vote for.

First, we’re on Lemmy so it’s okay to say FUCK.

Second, the reason these articles are important is that if we don’t continually point these things out these assholes are going to simply get away with doing what they’re doing and have no accountability at all. It may not feel like they are being held accountable right now but, if the recent polls can be trusted, public opinion is definitely not on their side.

Absolutely nothing this asshole says or does is backed by any kind of science whatsoever. He’s a crackpot and everything he does is based on crackpot ideas. Nothing coming out of the United States Health and Human Services can be trusted as long as he is in charge.

Makes sense honestly. The only thing holding the stock price aloft of his lunatic followers’ unwaivering belief in his greatness.

He means he will (illegally) remove them from their duly elected offices.

It’s been pretty widely reported that it’s PayPal and Stripe(mostly Stripe) that have been the ones that were requiring them to remove the NSFW material.

The obfuscation is on purpose. The media (which, I must remind you, is all completely owned by the billionaire class) is afraid that in telling you who and what Blackstone is, there will be cheering for the death of this person instead of remorse. This is due to the whiplash they experienced in reporting on the death of that healthcare CEO back in December.

Expect more of the same kind of reporting going forward if/when a capitalist dies from misfortune.

You mean tests that were designed to ensure that only “the right people” were able to pass them. As well as a grandfather clause that exempted all of those right people (in modern times there would likely be a voter roll purge that would somehow lose most liberal voters while miraculously keeping all of the conservative ones).

That being said, this worker should still be held criminally accountable for the death of this child. Regardless of the states culpability in not allocating enough money to hire the number of workers necessary to care for the children they supervise, this person was still criminally negligent.

Holy shit this is so unbelievably full featured it’s not even funny. This is going to rattle some big names. I wonder how long till they try to shut it down because it’s better than anything commercially available.

She doesn’t have to remember them. Trump’s lawyer gave her a whole box full of information to give out to Congress and the press.

The fact that we have to question which version it is says far more about Trump than whether or not he actually did simply confiscate it.

You apparently have been living under a rock because there is a world of difference between someone who is nice and also a guy and someone being a “nice guy”.

Also the posters are red flags not because they reference nerdy things but because they show an unhealthy obsession with fictional characters who, though charismatic, are evil people who justify their violent actions with straw man arguments about power and corruption. The words on the Thanos poster put an especially fine point on that part.
