pointing out the hypocrisy means nothing to these people. their entire philosophy is about making it legally not a hypocrisy. they want laws that protect them and don’t limit them while they have an other that the laws don’t protect but do limit.
It does help prevent more people from falling under their spell. It just needs to be done on every issue.
Fun facts about Rafael: he likes incest porn, and he once tried to win a debate by eating his own boogers.
I bet he also likes to win debates by eating other guys’ loads from his wife’s orifices.
STEP incest porn. Let they who have not gooned to Cory Chase throw the first stone.
Had to google her, don’t recognize her. Here’s my thrown stone. Don’t look at the glass castle behind me.
Just so everyone is aware, this bill was previously introduced Oct 2023 and reported by news late Nov/early Dec 2023 and looks like it was reintroduced March 4, 2025.
The bill is called Safeguarding Free Speech Act. The below link was what I could find about it.
Speech so free that you can’t introduce yourself as any name besides what your parent(s) put on a document at your birth! I wonder if they defined legal name, or if we’ll be calling people by their full names from now on.
*Sen. Rafael Edward Cruz (He/Rep)
I’m nb and my chosen name is a short form of my middle name. I wonder how he’d feel about that.
You’re more “correct” than he is, since “Ted” isn’t anywhere in his name!
Ummm…
“Ted” is short for “Theodore,” not “Edward.”
EDIT: I stand corrected.
It’s both, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted
Oh, okay, I’ve never known any Edwards who use “Ted.” One of those weird things like William -> Bill or Richard -> Dick, I guess.
Edward ‘Ted’ Kennedy was another.
Just to note, I’m in no way backing Cruz, he’s a deplorable waste of space. Fuck em.
Oh, I know! I appreciate being corrected.
San Antonio mentioned - let’s gooooo!
I hope that doesn’t pass, but if it does they should remove the “Ted” part off the next ballot. His constituents will be like “Who tf is Rafael?”
Edit: spelling
… and why hasn’t ICE gotten him by now?
