Disgusting. These wing nut crazy fascistic scum were always there. But they kept relatively quiet. Trump brought them out in the open.
More or less the same as today, I would imagine.
A quintessentially perfect example of 'ready, shoot, aim' policy making...
That is an understatement. Elevated these 2 politicians on a national scale. Amplified their voices massively. And at the same time more and more dirty laundry of Tennessee GOP being aired by the minute. Who knew the House speaker's chief of staff had sex in a hot chicken restaurant bathroom and GOP like to use other members seats in the house as a toilet?
Yet instead of tackling the issues the youth were there to protest after the gun violence they worry about making sure LGBT cant get a pride permit in the state instead.
‘Already won the policy arguments…’ 
Worth posting in two threads. Not only would the rape victim have to carry the rapist's baby to term, now the victim can't even prevent from getting pregnant by the rapist...
So, the greatest threat to American democracy is, that too many people might vote?
Am I hearing that correctly?
Too many of the wrong people.
Yeah, like "we've found that the more people that vote, the harder it is for us to win."
I just find it mad she's actually saying it out loud like that.
Can't argue against climate science and have no policy? Just say it doesn't exist. Unable to formulate general policy and talking points for young people? Just stop them from voting.
Conservatism is the mental spasm of humanity that seeks self-harm of its own species just to feel "comfortable". There is nothing noble about Conservatism and should be thrown on the ideology pile of history along with many other ism's that have come and gone.
I'm a lot more optimistic than i was just 3 years ago. Young people in the US seems to have had enough of this shite and unless something really dramatic happens that swing a lot of them right or the right wing in the US manages to rig the system to such an extent they undermine democracy completely i think the US will swing heavily towards the progressive side the next few decades
Like what the feck does the right wing there have to offer?
- Pathetic whinging about nonsense culture war issues that only lobotomozied Fox New viewers gets riled up about
- "Bubble up" economcis that wrecks the middle class and makes basic necessities like housing, education and health care unaffordable for the bottom 60%
- Police, military, corporate and 2nd amendment worship
- Rascism, sexism and bigotry
- Trampling of freedoms like abortion, freedom of speech/expression, sexual freedom, freedom of religion etc
Sigh…
Priorities are Disney & genital inspections over this…
I've heard they also plan to change the name of the state to something other than Florida, because the "Flo" part.
Can't remember what the proposed name was, Gilead or something I think.
Conservatism is an undiagnosed mental illness. I've challenged anyone to change my mind on that but everyday my opinion is solidified in fact.
Groomers…
Tennessee again…
Good job I'm moving then!
a lot of pandemic-era protections, including evictions and medicaid, ended today, after biden signed a republican bill. that SF crime thread may be bumped a little more often!
Can someone tell just why one judge can tell the whole country what is legal or not? This isn't even a supreme court judge, just some state judge in Texas, but somehow he rules the country?
Also, if one judge in Texas holds this much power, can liberal judges just start nationwide bans on stuff too?

Lets see how it pans out for the republican latinos in florida. Specially the cubans from Miami-Dade
They’re fairytalists who still hold the Dems responsible for Bay of Pigs & listen to uber-right wing local Cuban radio trumpeting the spread of socialism. They’re as locked in a voting bloc for anyone with ‘-R’ after their name as one could be.
Two for two…

Them and most of Vietnamese-Americans are among the worst voting blocs of immigrant descent when it comes to being unable to think straight for a second out of some misplaced paranoia about socialism. A number of my friends of Vietnamese descent here were mad when they saw the old Vietnamese flags being flown during January 6; they tell me about how that part of their heritage is being hijacked by uber right-wingers in the US.
edit: I hope to see more Americans of Vietnamese descent, mostly the younger ones (like Stephanie Murphy, born Đặng Thị Ngọc Dung) shifting towards the Dems.

If a lone judge can ban medication pending appeals etc, can a lone judge not ban assault rifles or something?
[I know this isn't how it works, but it feels so strange.]

Speaking without knowing just assuming. Medication is not in the constitution and guns is. And probably there is a precedent (old) and would not make sense
It feels fecking bizarre that an uber-thumper judge to whom the plaintiffs went in a judge-shopping move & who has a past with extreme anti-abortion types even has the power to undertake such a move against a federal agency / every female of childbearing years in this country.
