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.

    Article II

    In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

    ( a ) Killing members of the group;

    ( b ) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

    ( c ) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

    ( d ) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

    ( e ) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

    Laws that have already been passed in the United States, to speak nothing of the literal hundreds already proposed this year, satisfy the definitons in B, C, and E. A is covered by right wing media fueling stochastic terrorism. This is a genocide. Erin Reed has a twitter thread that is already out of date that goes into more detail as to which specific laws are meeting these criteria. https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1628486307931381763
