Florida continues it's increasing momentum into ever more unhinged fascist lawmaking.

The bill allows the state to remove children from their parents or other family members if they're "at risk" of being given access to trans or gender support services. This even applies if they're in another state.

So not only is the state able to kidnap children in Florida, but a chud without any legal custody over the their child who lives in another part of the country with a less shitty parent, could kidnap that child and bring them back to florida - legally.

    The feds can turn off funding to states that don't follow federal laws for funds related to that law. The feds cut Louisiana's highway funding over it's drinking age. They could cut Florida law enforcement's funding over this law.

      Not gonna happen. The democrats tried to prohibit funding for states that didn’t follow the most milquetoast gun control laws (something like waiting periods and ending ‘gun show loopholes’)

      The republicans protested, and at the end the democrats gave and put in a clause for “special exceptions.” In other words, republicans get to just keep doing what they do, and democrats get brownie points from idiots in the media and the voting base, which lauded it as “the most comprehensive gun control bill”

        I didn't say it will happen, I said it can. SCOTUS ruled that they can.

      Is their adherent to the letter of the law stronger than their homophobia?
