Here we go: HB 1080 is up for debate on the House floor. #sdleg
Soye falsely states, "children as young as 8 years old are receiving cross-sex hormones after only one counseling session."
Soye states that "left to natural puberty, 80-90% will come to accept and thrive as their natural sex."
This is false.
This is false.
Sup y’all it’s ya boi I’m gonna be here giving commentary on HB1080 testimony and hearing this morning with the health and human service committee in the #sdleg
This is my personal commentary and is not value-free because I like to rant and have hot takes. 🧵

Right now they are hearing HB1078 for funding for adult day services which is great, aging in place and quality of services is important and also for disabled individuals. I won’t be snarky on this one.
Interesting, opponent testimony for funding purposes saying DSS is fine on funding? Rebuttals now. Rebuttal saying that this isn’t happening. Adds up 🤷🏻

#SouthDakota
He was a Senate intern during the 2022 session, later becoming close with @sdgop power players @LeeSchoenbeck , and son @JakeSchoenbeck . Noah now co-hosts the new #DakotaTownHall podcast with Jake, son of the most powerful and ruthless man in the state legislature. /2 #sdleg
Noah worked on @martyjackley's campaign. The same AG Jackley who covered up the Richard Mette rape, is buddies with Joel Koskan, and was T. Dennis Sanford's lawyer.
During his time in Pierre, Noah has chosen to immerse himself in the company of the good old boys club. /3 #SDGOP

The fight against House Bill 1217, a bill which would ban transgender girls from playing on sports teams consistent with their gender, is in the homestretch. Our time to beat this bill is limited.
🚨Right now, we need all hands on deck before #SDLeg votes on HB1217 on MONDAY.🚨

@govkristinoem recently issued a style and form veto to House Bill 1217, which #SDLeg will be voting on first.
Yet these revisions won't change the fact that this policy is harmful to trans South Dakotans, and a violation of Constitutional and federal civil rights law. ⚖️

🗣️ NO FORM OF HOUSE BILL 1217 IS ACCEPTABLE.
🚨 ACT NOW: Call/write South Dakota State Senators and ask them to oppose any revised version of House Bill 1217. aclusd.org/en/end-hb1217-…

My bill (HB 1132) adding dental hygienists to the list of mandatory reporters passed unanimously out of Senate Health & Human Services this morning! #sdleg 1/5
Mandatory reporting reinforces the obligation on every profession who works with minors to care for and protect all children from abuse and harm. 2/5
65-75% of physical abuse involves injuries to the head, face, neck or mouth. Dental hygienists are trained to recognize abnormalities as well as signs of abuse, neglect, and nutritional deficiencies. 3/5
I find it difficult to sort through all the feelings I have about #sdleg and the absolute flood of cruel bills that have been dropped in the past couple of weeks. /1
One thing is entirely clear: a loud and influential number of legislators have no vision or leadership skills whatsoever to lead SD into the future. /2
They are not running for office to solve the crises of our time: education funding, healthcare coverage and costs, suicide rates, elder care, drug abuse, poverty, growing an economy for the future. No new ideas, no bold vision, no true leadership. /3
@ACLUSouthDakota @LisaKaczke @argusleader @ppSoDak He's now comparing healthcare for trans youth to preventing kids from smoking or drinking.
@ACLUSouthDakota @LisaKaczke @argusleader @ppSoDak Rep. Deutsch says there may be an amendment coming. No details as to what the amendment says.
@ACLUSouthDakota @LisaKaczke @argusleader @ppSoDak Rep. Duba now stands to speak against HB 1057. She says she's representing the families and their transgender kids of *South Dakota.*
The #sdleg House should be starting the floor session shortly. HB 1057 is the 3rd bill on the calendar. You can follow video or audio online on sd.net (navigate using the links on the left side). I'll tweet as I can, but also make sure to follow @ACLUSouthDakota.
@ACLUSouthDakota There are a few excellent local reporters providing coverage today as well. @LisaKaczke with the @argusleader is one of them if you're looking for more SD-based reporting.
@ACLUSouthDakota @LisaKaczke @argusleader The video feed is up now. The House will take up a few things before getting into bill debate.
"I honestly cannot wrap my head around the reason why so many people are afraid...” Monson said. "Let's rip the Band-aid off the wound and start having a serious conversation about what is good for students, mental health, work force development and a stronger South Dakota."
Pre-K is almost flabbergastingly backed by research that shows the huge ROI for children, families, and the economy. The kind of evidence lawmakers are supposed to use to make policy. Ask yourself who has the agenda. #sdleg
Not to mention that new studies show that when families interact together in a pre-k setting, it can actually HELP parents and guardians teach their children more at home. The parents learn from the children and bring those skills INTO the home.
Hi all! We're watching and will be live-tweeting the upcoming state Senate debate on South Dakota's SB 55, a bill to encourage posting "In God We Trust" in public schools. Follow along: 📺bit.ly/2RJhCz3 #sdleg
Why is posting "In God We Trust" in public schools such a bad idea?
🔺It leaves out many kids.
🔺The government shouldn't endorse religion.
🔺It's part of Project Blitz, a Christian nationalist agenda to pass state bills that destroy separation of church & state.
