Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

My suggestion is for anyone working in the medical field who disagrees with these policies to leave Texas post haste.

The faster this happens the more quickly the people will revolt once every single individual in the state knows someone personally who was harmed by these policies. The anecdotal suffering of individuals is the only thing that ever causes widescale political action as far as I can tell.

Until that suffering is undeniable for a large enough percentage of the population to overcome their cognitive dissonance, nothing will change.

Is Seattle far enough?
