Orwellian double speak

yes there was a poll recently saying that a majority of the population at large agrees with the R's anti-trans laws. Which contrasts with what the majority feels on pretty much every other R crusade. Propaganda regarding people most are unfamiliar with is extremely effective.

At the first board meeting in January with Witt as superintendent, the board voted to adopt the American Birthright social studies curriculum standard. No social studies teachers had been consulted prior to the vote, according to three current employees and an administrator who asked to speak anonymously to protect their employment. American Birthright materials emphasize patriotism, argue that the federal government should have no authority over public schools and say teachers should not encourage civic engagement, such as registering to vote or petitioning local lawmakers on issues students care about. “It is terribly important to be a disengaged citizen, and indeed, a disengaged student,” said David Randall, research director at the National Association of Scholars, a conservative organization that created the standards last year. Am I reading this wrong, or is this a right-wing demagogue flat-out saying that an engaged student body and citizenry is bad??!

Ana loves to play like he's smarter than everyone else with put-downs and sarcasm but it's always substance-free "asking questions." Transparently ego-driven need to "win" an argument. And for some reason, he has a hard-on for treatment of trans kids above everything else now that he lost on Trump-Russia

Here we go again. Ana is really really het up over the private medical decisions of families but only on this issue for some reason

Being on the Supreme Court is not worth the grief or the pay. But being the selfless, humble public servant he is, he's gonna keep sacrificing for the rest of our sakes. And now we're crucifying him just like Jesus. We should all be ashamed.

yeah great, now we can all look forward to enjoying President Elmo

I was confused because the bill I saw allowed the SOS to hold a new election in a county of 1 million or more with "good cause" blah blah, but I see the "engrossed" version now says 2.7 million. LOL so transparent with their targeting

What a joke that Roberts gives a single, solitary fuck about the Court's "legacy."

I am very sorry for your loss.

When my son was in 1st grade and the teacher told the students that Martin Luther King Jr. got assassinated, one of the few African-American students burst into tears. But do go on, DEI/CRT snowflakes, about how white kids feel so fucking bad from learning the facts about our history.

But Twitter tells me it's a fake FBI psy op.

It's remarkable that people who are on the same side as actual Nazis won't take a moment to reconsider their positions.

Vince Neil no sing good and no look good

^^^ please tell me that tenure shit hasn't passed the House?

These Kancel Kulture Karens who are getting books banned, field trips squashed etc. know very fucking well that they could just opt their kid out from the "offensive" event or text, and issue solved. But as always, it's about control with these freaks. Gotta decide it for every family because they're addicted to moral outrage and superiority. And I feel like we're just kinda letting them do it. Or maybe there are no sane people willing to speak up in places like Spring Branch....

does it seem like football players have a way higher incidence of cancer in their families?? Losing moms, sisters etc. left and right

What she said is the absolute essence of protected First Amendment speech. Not threatening, harassing, obscene, etc. And government representatives punishing her for it is the essence of a First Amendment violation.

these bills are absolutely batshit and warrant several good riots.

You keep saying that. Nothing in our elections shows any possible trend in that direction. They are just power grabbing because they can.

Not sure Oklahomans in power would care or be displeased about any of that unless there's a fetal/infant mortality rate in there. Very few replies to the tweet and the first one is: First - we are failing them by calling some men women. Fix that first. And then "what is a woman" and "trans is a mental illness" This country's troglodytes are many, easily led, and thoroughly diseased.

He could only hope to look that good.

^^^ This. An amoral psychopath.

This is fucking insane. Authoritarian erasure of a population is here. It's not hypothetical or in the works, it's here. If you believe in a free society, it's high time to start speaking out and doing everything you can. No doubt more states including our own backwater state are next. And more targeted groups are being queued up because the guardrails are failing.

Seems odd for the judge to release this evidence before it's a matter of public record in the trial (at punishment). It's still a potential issue for appeal/motion for new sentencing. Ah well guess I should just enjoy the Abbott depantsing. Abbott in a sane world: "New information has come to light and I have decided that the use of my pardon power in this case is not appropriate at this particular juncture." Real Abbott: Insulates self and never answers any questions ever, can either do nothing or proceed with pardon while still answering no questions, and no consequences for him either way.
