Women stuff, yuck...
I miss nightly Rachel Maddow...
Only on Monday nights. Cutie Alex Wagner has her own show at 900P Tues to Fri.
Inerestingly, I thought I saw a promo recently where Bill Maher is doing a show on CNN.
News to me.
Chris Licht eats paste. There are noises about the possibility that he will get the sack soon.
Just a reminder that the reason the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) was never added to the constitution is because the GOP sees it's absence as a method to keep women as second class citizens. Their argument begins with an acknowledgement that making women equal to men would make abortions legal. Oh, and I bet you will "never" guess which states refused to ratify it in 1982....
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, and Virginia
Was only a matter of time til it encompassed all grades…
What absolute morons these clowns are. They just can't accept some people have serious allergies that mean they have to have alternatives or that people have beliefs that mean they want to have alternatives to dairy, meat or whatever.
It disgusts me that these tossers take it as a personal affront to them that other people want something different. This is exactly the same for the climate change/gay/trans/abortion/women's rights etc etc.....
It's like they hear one thing and zoom in on it and can't be budged. Their stupidity and ignorance should be destroyed with facts and counter argument, but it seems it never is.
The woke left declared war on milk!
Dis gon b gud.
Painful we need to be on the side of a major corporation...
I have no idea, but it sounds “scary” to conservative “christians”, so of course it leads.
Its not a difficult choice in this case.
Can we just enact the Bugs Bunny solution now please?
Cool, let’s regulate guns like cars and booze
That wasn’t factored into his mic drop moment.
But Texas not there. Weird...
They are soooooo stupid walking into this. You need to pass exams to get a license driver. You need to show that and pay for an insurance. And others.
So so so stupid
This is really good:
An Interview With the School Board Chair Who Forced Out a Principal After Michelangelo’s David Was Shown in Class
https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/03/florida-principal-fired-michelangelo-david-statue.html
there's so much stuff in there - how western civilization and "liberal classical" are now totally empty signifiers (basically meaning anti-woke, which is another empty signifier). he goes into that a bit more in the rest of it.
of course, the usual safe spaces for me, not my kids.
the whole premise of the story, that this was a private school set up with public money to teach a reactionary curriculum, and a greek statue was too much for the parents.
"we're florida".

It's very boring and vulgar marxist (@Sweet Square ) but it's under-rated how much the trans panic ties in with the destruction of public schools- which has been the core of the modern american conservative movement since it was born in the aftermath of school integration.

Christ, the right wing war on sex education has now landed on our shore with employees of the Rutgers stichting (Dutch organisation for sex education) receiving death threats over the week for sex awareness on elementairy schools.
Can't these half wits just feck off across the atlantic.
My misspelling of elementary school is a nice bit of irony in this condescending post. I'll allow it.

To be fair, if kids learn about sex too young how are right wing Christian conservatives going to be able to trick them into being molested?

The sad part is there is more than a kernel of truth to this. Same with rewriting history to remove the "bad" parts.
Say it with me everyone: America is fecked.

Some of these people are going to be extremely frustrating to listen to but this does provide a good peek inside into how a lot of 'Muricans think and why the state of the country is what it is.
