I remember back in 2000, after we got married in Oklahoma, some state rep tried to ban interracial marriage. Even the Republicans at the time thought that was too extreme and the idea died early in committee.
Well, those days are dead. The GOP is coming for my marriage and those of a lot of you.
North Idaho senator yells ‘go back to where you came from’ at Native American candidate
Just in case you aren’t sure where the GOP stands on minorities in this country.
This isn’t a new idiot on the scene. He’s been the senator for the area known for white supremacist enclaves for eight years now. And is a former cop.
Bathrooms with a view: Cutting windows into student restrooms is a new level of weird
Local elections matter.
Remember that.
If you don’t pay attention, you’ll get a bunch of nuts on your school board and those morons will think it is very cool to put windows into the school bathrooms so randos can watch your kids take a leak.
For safety.
Yikes!
More Bands Pull Out Of “Shell Shock II” Due To Kyle Rittenhouse Booking
So, the Shell Shock music festival decided to make murderer Kyle Rittenhouse an honored VIP guest.
Guess some of the bands didn’t care for that much. Even the ones who want to avoid politics (good luck!) wanted no part of that.
Not everyone is a bloodthirsty nut but the MAGAts are so into their bubble that they don’t get that.
Ukraine Discovers Starlink on Downed Russian Shahed Drone: Report
Looks like Musk has his thumb on the scale for Putin. Big surprise.
Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops
Not sure you needed another reminder/reason, but don’t EVER hand over the goods to the authorities. Remember: they do NOT work for you. “Protect and serve” is a marketing campaign, not their job.
‘War Game,’ political violence, and the risk of extremism in the armed forces
Though blatantly ignoring the fact that the Flynn brothers, one of which was in high station during January 6th, already exist, a team planned a war game theorizing what turncoats inside the US military would do during an insurrection.
It could have been worse, but the reality was already pretty bad.
Banned Books Week: Effort to document and highlight support of the freedom to read
Also on NPR this morning, they realized that the book banners and burners might be a serious threat to literacy and free speech and thought in this country.
Have these folks been in a selective coma for the past decade? Three decades? More?
How neo-Nazi groups reacted to Trump’s false claims about Haitians in Springfield
Well, it is damn near October in an election year and NPR just figured out that the GOP is running a white supremacist for president (and pretty much all the way down the ballot). I mean, even the North Carolina gubernatorial candidate is a self-professed “black Nazi”.
You really wish public radio would get their shit together, but this is the outfit that sides with hecklers mocking kids shot at an elementary school.
Choose Change
You aren’t gonna catch me post a lot from The Lincoln Project or from most of those Republican-against-Trump groups. I don’t trust them. We don’t want the same things.
That said, they got Sam Elliott to say what a lot of us have been thinking, so that’s nice.
“You decide, are we really going back down that same fucking broken road? Or are we moving forward?”
