All work restrictions would be lifted on 16- and 17-year-olds in Florida under new bill

Florida, since working hard to deport those durned immigrant workers that support their economy, now need a new workforce to, um, support their economy.

And they found them! It is a bunch of teenagers. If you are 16, welcome to the workforce! If you are 14 and homeschooled? Welcome to the workforce!

I had jobs as a kid. It was kind of necessary for me, but it was part time work, and more or less my choice if I wanted gas money to run off to Chicago on the occasional weekend.

This seems different. Like 18th century different.

As always, Fuck the South.

More DEI fallout: Air Force scraps course that used videos of Tuskegee Airmen and female WWII pilots

The Air Force eventually put the course material back in circulation, but the fact remains that the military – who used to be at the forefront of our nation’s efforts towards that more perfect union – bent over immediately to comply with Republican racism. That is a bad sign movie forward.

Here is another story related to the incident, plus the video itself:

U.S. limits Canadian access to iconic Stanstead, Que., border-straddling library

Evil cosplayer Kristi Noem loves hurting people. In this instance, she has ordered shutting down Canadian access to a shared public library. I mean, you *can* access it still, you just have to go through the hoops of dealing with border security now.

In short, hurt a community in order to look tough, while really showing your weakness.

I first heard this on As it Happens the other night, which unfortunately does not separate stories as often as they should but it is the first story on this episode. Give it a listen.

Exclusive: Navajo Code Talkers disappear from military websites after Trump DEI order

In line with their efforts to erase women and minorities from our shared history, the Trump bastards have erased the Wind Talkers from our nation’s military websites.

Look, we KNOW they are racist and sexist pieces of shit. But these are orders. Bad orders, illegal orders. Who the fuck is carrying these out? Who isn’t raising a stink? Who isn’t pulling a pistol and saying “FUCK NO!” to whoever gives them such a nasty direction?

Elon Musk Wanted the Cybertruck to Look Like “the Future.” But It Reminds Us of One Particular Past.

There is a lot of discussion about where Musk got the design idea for his Wankpanzer.

But sometimes the simplest answer is best. It is meant to be the modern version of an Apartheid era terror vehicle. Simply put, he wants it to be used to put minorities “in their rightful place” as does just about anything Republicans do.
