Judge hears arguments over Missouri AG push to inflate cost of abortion initiative petition • Missouri Independent (missouriindependent.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1174730

Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s attempt to increase the cost of an abortion-rights initiative petition was unprecedented and illegal, lawyers for the Missouri ACLU and state auditor’s office argued Wednesday in Cole County Court.

”No attorney general has ever attempted to exercise this level of discretion,” said Robert Tillman, deputy general counsel for Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick.

Meanwhile, the attorney general’s office contends it was simply exercising its authority under state law when it refused to sign off on a fiscal note summary crafted by the auditor that said the abortion-rights initiative petition would have no cost to state or local government.

St. Louis County prosecutor announces US Senate run (www.stltoday.com)

St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell, a Democrat, announced Wednesday he is a candidate for U.S. Senate, setting up what could be an expensive intraparty battle to take on Republican incumbent Josh Hawley in November 2024.

In a launch video released Wednesday morning, Bell said, “We need leaders who try to help — unlike Josh Hawley, who’s in a rush to be famous and pretending to be tough while showing the world how weak he really is.”

Bell, 48, would face Democrat Lucas Kunce, who hauled in $1.1 million in the first fundraising quarter this year, in next year’s August primary.

Transgender minors and some adults in Missouri will soon be banned from accessing puberty blockers, hormones, and gender-affirming surgeries under a bill signed Wednesday by the state’s Republican governor.

Beginning Aug. 28, Missouri healthcare providers won’t be able to prescribe those gender-affirming treatments for teens and children. Most adults will still have access to transgender health care under the law, but Medicaid won’t cover it.

Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees! (lemmy.ml)

I ~~setup~~ (took over and spruced up, to be precise) this community specifically because of the time I've spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it's worth.)

Come on down, ask questions, post what the sysadmin community needs to know about, or head in to get either sympathy or chastisement about why you haven't left your job yet. 🤣

Want to be a mod? Let me know!

Ah, so I see that I still don't fully understand how it works. :)

Can I still post and comment in those communities while logged in through lemmy.ml?

(edit) - Answered by @sexy_peach@feddit.de below. Thanks!

I created duplicate accounts (same username as this one), one here on lemmy.ml and another of the same account on midwest.social. This was before I understood how Lemmy works. Now I've deleted the account on midwest.social and want to login there with my federated account from lemmy.ml. However when I try to login it just sits and spins.

Will I be able to login to the other Lemmy server with this account? Do I just need to give the other server some time before it wipes out the account completely?

I have verified that the other server is federated with lemmy.ml:

~~Just figured it out myself - in the top-left menu, click your username and then +Add Account, then you can enter the URL of the Lemmy server you want to connect to along with your credentials. You can then switch back and forth between your logins on the different servers.~~

(edit) - Or do what @sexy_peach@feddit.de said below. I don't know what I'm doing. :P

Of note - while logged into any one instance, you can also pick from the various filtering options:

  • Subscribed - List posts only from communities you're subscribed to
  • Local - List posts only from communities in this Lemmy instance/server
  • All - List posts from all (federated) Lemmy instances/servers

So, selecting "All" at any given time will show you posts from all servers that are federated (share creds) with Lemmy.ml.

If you're talking about the equivalent of a subreddit here on lemmy.ml, that's just called a "community". Click the "Create Community" link up at the top of the site. If you want to create your own whole Lemmy site with its own communities you can do that too, but you'd have to read the documentation on that.

I figured that this would be as good as any for my first post on Lemmy - showing off the entire Discworld Collector's Library series that I managed to purchase from BookDepository.com before Amazon shut it down. Was able to pickup the whole series for around $500 USD. So glad I was able to get these and never figured I would own the complete set of these nice hardback editions.
