https://www.mapresearch.org/equality-maps

The Movement Advancement Project (MAP) tracks over 50 different LGBTQ-related laws and policies. This map shows the gender identity policy tallies for each state, the District of Columbia, and the five populated U.S. territories. A state’s policy tally scores the laws and policies within each state that shape LGBTQ people's lives, experiences, and equality. The major categories of laws covered by the policy tally include: Relationship & Parental Recognition, Nondiscrimination, Religious Exemptions, LGBTQ Youth, Health Care, Criminal Justice, and Identity Documents. Click on any state to view its detailed policy tally and state profile, or click "Choose an Issue" above to view maps on over 50 different LGBTQ-related laws and policies.

    F. A. Hayek, Libertarianism, and the Denationalization of Money

    “Hayek found support within the American libertarian movement. Libertarians realized that Hayek’s radical proposal would limit state control over the monetary system and allow for the free exchange of gold.”

    McIntosh, W. (2024) ‘F. A. Hayek, Libertarianism, and the Denationalization of Money’, Modern American History, pp. 1–20. doi: https://doi.org/10.1017/mah.2024.19.

    #Florida’s 6-Week #AbortionBan Is Now #Law, With Political Implications

    The ban, which took effect on Wednesday, was part of Gov. Ron #DeSantis’s push into cultural #conservatism. But Florida #politics is rarely that simple.

    This is probably the best definition that I've ever seen:
    "The king of anti-woke, Ron Desantis, was forced to state what “woke” means in court. His lawyers put into the record that “woke” means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”"
    True, to varying degrees, of any society.

    Haaretz Editorial: "The freedom from arbitrary arrest marks a line between real, freedom-seeking democracies and 'pseudo democracies.' The police under Ben Gvir’s shadow cannot be relied to give freedom of expression the importance it warrants"

    "Haaretz is widely considered Israel's leading liberal news source, but it has published and promoted some of the most harmful propaganda in support of Israel’s genocide in Gaza."
