    Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed separate measures that would protect access to contraception and remove a tax exemption for the United Daughters of the Confederacy.The vetoed contraception measure would ensure a "person shall have the right to obtain contraceptives and to engage in contraception" and says no "law, regulation or policy" can infringe upon that access.
    Youngkin, in an online news release, said he supports contraception, but the bill passed by the Virginia's Democratic Party-controlled Legislature would "trample on the religious freedoms of Virginians" based on an "overly broad cause of action against political subdivisions and parents as well as medical professionals acting in their expert judgement."
    Youngkin said the Constitution already protects access to contraceptives and earlier suggested language that would make access to contraception a policy rather than law.
    The state's Democratic Party said Youngkin's veto will harm Virginians.
    "Gov. Youngkin just proved to Virginians that, once again, he does not care about their health or rights," Virginia Democratic Party chair Susan Swecker said in a news release posted on X.
    "Contraception is used to manage a wide variety of health conditions," Swecker said, "and by choosing not to protect it, Youngkin is hurting thousands of people."
    Youngkin also vetoed bills that would have removed property tax and recordation tax exemptions for the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
    A recordation tax levies a tax on the sale of property, and the recordation and property tax exemptions have been law in Virginia since the 1950s.
    Youngkin said the vetoed measures specifically target the UDC and allowing them to become law would establish an "inappropriate precedent."
    Overriding Youngkin's vetoes would require support from GOP lawmakers. Virginia law requires a two-thirds majority vote in the House.
    Democrats control the Virginia House of Delegates with 51 seats to 49 held by Republican lawmakers and the state's senate with 21 seats to the GOP's 19.

    Remember 1948 Deir Yassin massacre = Palestinian Auschwitz committed by the survivors of the holocaust. Boycott apartheid genocidal Israel. Don’t be the last to condemn the colonial apartheid state like you were in South Africa.
    The Zionist apartheid colonial outpost is controlling ALL aspects of our lives. It is though NOT prepared for what the new generation is witnessing live on social media directly from occupied Palestine. Thanks to the social media and spread of information, Palestine is finally freeing us from this plague.
    No state has a right to exist, but every person does. Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Rhodesia and countless others are states destined to fall and they did. This one is no different. Criticizing Israel is NOT anti-Semitic, the same way criticizing Saudi Arabia is not anti-Islam, criticizing Myanmar is not anti-Buddhism and criticizing India is not anti-Hinduism.
    Demolishing the apartheid state would be OK and in fact be the only way to save everybody including the Israelis. The two-state solution is no longer possible. Zionists stole ALL the land. The only solution left is ONE demilitarized secular state under international control with ALL people with documents showing ownership rights related to the land between the river and sea. We need to abolish all racial and religious favoritism. Refugees should be allowed to return if they so wish. We need to dismantle the apartheid colonial state. Peace will NEVER be realized without justice for all.
    The answer is very clear and everybody should support it. One country from the river to the sea with the two peoples living together in a democratic system is the only solution. Such unitary binational state is advocated by several former Zionists and current historians including Miko Peled, Ilan Pappe, Gabor Mate, Norman Finkelstein, Barnaby Raine and others and supported by the majority of the Arab population of Palestine. The imperial colonial Zionist outpost is not working and it would NEVER work.
    At the height of the extermination campaign conducted by Nazi Germany, they killed 127 children per day in Auschwitz. In Gaza genocide, the Zionist apartheid ethno-national state killed 139 children per day. See the difference for yourself.
    "Land you have to kill for is not yours, but land you have to die for is"
    Thanks to social media and spread of information, with a couple of clicks and with courage and human decency, the truth shines for every seeker to recognize. Plan Dalet is a good way to start your search. It details the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns from their inhabitants. Search Dier Yassin, Tantura, Ramla, Lydda, Safsaf, Sa’sa, Kfar Qassim and hundreds of other massacres committed by Zionist Hagana, Irgun and Stern gangs in 1947-1948 under the eyes of the British authorities.
    “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel” by Max Blumenthal.
    “Denying people the right of return to their homeland, and at the same time offering this right to others who have no connection to the land, is a model of undemocratic practice.” -Israeli historian Pappe
    “Since its establishment, Israel has engaged in brutal oppression of the rights of Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned, beaten and tortured; children are taken from their beds and beaten by soldiers who are armed to the teeth.”-Israeli historian Miko Peled.
    "I am a freedom fighter- says teenager Ahed Tamini, the Rosa Parks of Palestine in her memoir “They called me a lioness, A Palestinian Girl’s Fight for Freedom.” This book is an eye-opener and a worthwhile read.
    Plan Dalet, the blueprint of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns started in December 1947 and was FINALIZED by the High Command of the Zionist leadership on March 10, 1947. Not a SINGLE Arab army soldier had entered the Palestine/Israel before the Zionists declared the birth of their state on May 15, 1948. By then, more than 300000 defenseless civilians had already been massacred, expelled, raped, and mutilated and more than 300 villages and towns emptied, destroyed, torched, and imploded with dynamite under the watchful eyes of and with the support of the British soldiers and police, who left the country on the fateful day. The Zionists even ran out of dynamite because of the extent of their barbarity. By the end of that year, 20000 civilians had been killed and 750000-900000 defenseless civilians, 85% of the population who had lived in the land that became Israel, had been rendered refugees. 530 villages were destroyed and depopulated.
    Zionists criminals even murdered the Swedish diplomat Count Folke Bernadotte, the UN peace envoy in Sept 1948 because he was a witness to their crimes. He objected to the Zionist plan of ethnically cleansing Palestine of its native inhabitants. He, by the way, as the head of the Swedish Red Cross, had helped in the release of about 20000-30000 inmates from the Nazi concentration camps in Germany during WW2.
    Videos and resources you might find educational: Warning, they may be difficult to get because of censorship. Hundreds of books were written on the subject too. It is VERY easy to get informed.
