Jordan's entire interview on Meet the Press was about how the federal government should have no power to do anything -- except investigate Hunter Biden.

GOP right now: Trump would be great "without the drama."

Also GOP right now: His speeches are boring and he's passionless.

The imposter "George Santos," who should be immediately removed from the House chamber by Capitol Police as a grave national security risk, was funded by non-existent donors. He's a walking #Russian money-laundering operation. #GOP #USpol #politics motherjones.com/politics/2023/

Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.

Just for trans kids.

You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.

Give me a break.

Me at an IT job: "I don't understand why everything, even our DevOps has to be microsoft."

IT staff: "Part of the benefit of buying from a large corporation is support. We pay big money to get actual support, instead of a community forum."

Also IT Staff: "Jo fixed the issue we were having. He asked Microsoft, and they were no help but he was still able to fix it!"

Me: 🙊

Please stop using “mom” as an example of an unsophisticated user of technology. This reinforces harmful stereotypes.

Instead, I suggest using “congressperson”.

Exactly 90 years ago today Hitler came to power. With the rise of fascism across the globe, that dark anniversary means much. It can happen anywhere. Preserving democracy is a never ending fight demanding constant vigilance from all of us.

If they were sincere in their beliefs, the Bible would be banned along with My Two Daddies. There's more sex and violence in the Bible than in most of the texts they want to ban.
The American Taliban is alive and well-funded.

Time for a book called "50 things conservative bigots want to keep hidden from you" (or similar).

Something like the 21st century edition of the "Anarchist Cookbook".

(As PDF and in formats that can easily be printed at home, so that "subversive" kids can "spread the word" at school.)

Response: This isn’t an official form. It asserts rights that do not exist in law. We cannot accept it.

@juddlegum where do the 100 parents per school come from? Didn’t they already opt out for charter schools or vouchers or homeschooling or whatever?

Does this really have legs if you don’t have a critical mass of rioting Karen’s, and it’s just 5% of the pop trying to make a big stink?

I'd like to see the schools give them exactly what they ask for — their kids get to opt out of all schooling. They can just stay home in their parents' maga safe-spaces and still graduate "without penalty or loss of academic credit."

If they want to opt out of tens of thousands of free childcare, who is the state to restrict their freedumb?

@juddlegum I’m curious, now does women’s suffrage fit into their definition of “rogue sex Ed”? It’s mentioned in the article as one topic parents can object to.

@juddlegum It’s a damn shame, the teachers in my Michigan district work so hard to teach the kids what they need to learn, while being sensitive about the topic. They are also open with the parents and are more than willing to engage in reasonable conversation with parents so everyone is on the same page. The GOP has is so easy in Michigan and somehow still manage to teach a brilliant course on how to fuck themselves.
