The brother of U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville is speaking out on social media, saying he is “compelled to distance” himself from some of the lawmaker’s recent statements.

“Due to recent statements by him promoting racial stereotypes, white nationalism and other various controversial topics, I feel compelled to distance myself from his ignorant, hateful rants,” Charles Tuberville stated in a Facebook post.

“What I’m trying to say is that, I DO NOT agree with any of the vile rhetoric coming out of his mouth. Please don’t confuse my brother with me. Thanks, Charles Tuberville.”

The Tennessee woman would end up needing a lifesaving emergency hysterectomy, ending her opportunity to give birth to more children, after she says she was denied medically necessary abortion care at a hospital in her home state for life-threatening complications earlier in her pregnancy.

"[My doctor] told me I needed to do the surgery. If I didn't, I could die; the baby could die," Hollis said.

Because she had delivered by cesarean section and the two pregnancies were so close together, Hollis' OB-GYN was worried she could develop a cesarean scar pregnancy, a type of ectopic pregnancy where the fertilized egg is implanted in the cesarean scar after a previous C-section, which can cause the uterus to rupture, leading to excessive bleeding and even death, according to the National Institutes of Health.

In August, Hollis found out that she did have a cesarean scar pregnancy, with the pregnancy bulging out of her uterus, and a placenta accreta -- a serious pregnancy complication in which the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall and part or all of the placenta then remains attached to the uterine wall during delivery. The condition can cause severe blood loss after delivery, according to the Mayo Clinic.

"I [could] hemorrhage, because that was already bulging out," Hollis said. "It was scary."

Hollis was eight weeks pregnant when she met with a maternal fetal medicine specialist, who confirmed that she had a cesarean scar pregnancy and sent her back to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for care.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center said it would not comment on the case.

Because she wanted the baby, Hollis said it took her and her husband time before they were able to decide that they wanted to end the pregnancy because the risk it posed to her life was too high.

Hollis said she was unaware of the changing landscape in Tennessee after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending federal protections for abortion rights. A trigger ban prohibiting nearly all abortions went into effect in Tennessee on Aug. 24, 2022.

Hollis said her doctor did not explain to her that there was a narrow window in which she could receive care before the ban went into effect.

One day before the ban went into effect, medical records show that in the early weeks of her pregnancy, Hollis' placenta accreta had progressed and was "concerning," according to her medical records. She was 11 weeks pregnant at the time.

"It was a hard pregnancy. It was scary the whole time," Hollis said.

"They thought they were gonna have to reconstruct my bladder. They didn't know if it was gonna touch any other organs -- if they could even stop the bleeding if I did start to hemorrhage," Hollis said.

Dallas elementary school students were given free copies of a Winnie-the-Pooh book this month. But the book isn't about the delightful imaginary world of Pooh and his friends.

• "Stay Safe," featuring an image of the beloved character on the cover, is about what to do during school shootings.

Why it matters: The book, published by a Houston-based crisis management firm, concerned some parents, who weren't given a warning or context about it and weren't prepared to talk about such a serious topic with children as young as 5, according to the Oak Cliff Advocate. One parent called the book "haunting" and "tone deaf."

• The district later apologized in a statement: "Unfortunately, we did not provide parents any guide or context. We apologize for the confusion and are thankful to parents who reached out to assist us in being better partners."

Details: Using images of Pooh and his friends, which entered the public domain last year, the book attempts to teach kids the concept of "run, hide, fight," the active shooter response recommended by the FBI.

• "If danger finds us, don't stay, run away," reads one line. "If we can't get away, we have to fight with all our might."
• "When the danger is gone, we should not fuss," reads another. "Instead, wait for a teacher or the police to come and find us."

The big picture: The incongruity of a snuggling, honey-loving stuffed bear juxtaposed with lethal violence highlights the perilous line school districts across the country must walk. Educators want to teach kids how to respond in the face of danger — but in the least traumatic way possible.

Zoom out: The book quickly received national attention. California Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted, "Winnie-the-Pooh is now teaching Texas kids about active shooters because the elected officials do not have the courage to keep our kids safe and pass common sense gun safety laws."

The bottom line: "Stay Safe" is a reminder that kids in America live a long way from the idyllic world of the Hundred Acre Wood.

Oklahoma Supreme Court strikes down 2 abortion bans; procedure still illegal in most cases

In a 6-3 ruling on Wednesday, the high court said the two bans are unconstitutional because they require a "medical emergency" before a doctor can perform an abortion.

The national debate about gun violence and gun policy reform rests on an understanding of the Second Amendment shaped by the NRA and other pro-gun extremists. Their definition asserts that the right to bear arms is – and always has been – a bedrock Constitutional right that guarantees freedom.

But what if the NRA’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is historically wrong? How has the NRA’s version fed a gun violence epidemic that threatens and terrifies everyone, with disproportionate impacts on communities of color and other vulnerable communities? And how is the NRA’s Second Amendment increasingly infringing on other fundamental rights like free speech and safety?

We’ll discuss these and other questions at the #KeepMarching online teach-in, Thursday, June 8, 2023, 8:30 pm ET/ 5:30 pm PT, with constitutional law professors Carl Bogus and Mary Anne Franks. Sign up now.

When the right got mad at Target, they boycotted. That was called terrorism (go figure). When the left got mad at Target, they made bomb threats. Bad left, bad.

I don't think any but the most recalcitrant troglodyte would not know of the boycott Target faces for being stupid, so here's the other:

Staff and customers at several Target locations were evacuated on Friday after bomb threats were made at select stores across the country as controversy continues to grow over the company's LGBTQ+ merchandise.

CBS News affiliate WOIO in Cleveland, Ohio, received an email at 12:26 p.m. Friday warning of bombs that had been placed in five different Target locations near the city. According to a screenshot of the email, which was published by the outlet, the threat was made in response to Target's decision to remove its LGBTQ+ pride collection from its shelves earlier this week.

"Target is full of...cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to the homophobic right wing redneck bigots who protested and vandalized their store," read the email. "We won't stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down."

Target faces bomb threats amid LGBTQ+ controversy

Yes, one Bad Left person upset that Target became a coward against the threats from anti LGBTQ+ retards.

They were bomb threats which turned out to be hoaxes. Any and all who do anything like this should pay the price.

If the retards on the right stop threatening and boycotting and attempting to hurt those who are not hurting them, then all of this nonsense may stop.

When did the left throw bombs at Target?

This is new information. I've been saying they called in bomb threats and now you're asking about them throwing bombs. Have you heard somewhere that they did? I haven't.

[One person did it. It was a hoax]

As of this morning, we know that an email from a man claiming to have put bombs in several Target locations was false.

The man sent an email to a news station in Cleveland saying he put bombs in five Target locations, including one in Monaca, due to the retailer's decision to pull Pride Month merchandise after some employees were threatened and displays were knocked over.

Some of the stores were evacuated as the threat was investigated.

Shoppers have said they're disappointed with the entire situation.

"I stand behind Target selling whatever merchandise they like," said Justin Walencik. "I always enjoy actually seeing all the LGBTQ+ stuff that they have. I'm not really shocked, I guess, but hearing that is unfortunate."

Law enforcement determines Target bomb threat was a hoax

A news station in Ohio received an email claiming bombs had been planted in several Target locations.
