Republicans are a HATEFUL bunch of Assholes and Bigots!
Pride organizers in a number of Florida towns have canceled events slated for next month days after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed several anti-LGBTQ bills into law.
Why it matters: The laws — dubbed a "slate of hate" by activists — target aspects of daily life for LGBTQ+ community members and were signed just ahead of Pride Month. #News#GOP#Politics#USA
The reason #Republicans want to crash the #economy, & by extension that of the West, is that #Putin made demands of them & the Speaker is manifestly doing the Kremlin's work for them by acting like the 2-faced ass he is. The Kremlin wants the West to stop supporting #Ukraine and this #DebtCeiling malarkey is the exact opposite of what he and the #GOP said when Putin's man #Trump was #POTUS.
The GOP is a terrorist organization. #Democrats must not negotiate with #terrorists.
Yes and he is auditioning for VP imo. They all are except DeSantis. All these Republicans are just running in the primary for :donaldtrump: so that he wins.
Josie (6 years old), Bertha (6 years old) and Sophie (10 years old) worked regularly at the Maggioni Canning Company. Work began at 4 AM and the three would make from $9 to $15 a week. Sophie would do six pots of oyster a day and her mother who also worked with her said "She don't go to school. Works all the time."
Through such photos, Lewis Hine documented the harsh working conditions borne by thousands of children, who were sent to work soon after they could walk, and were paid based on how many buckets of oysters they shucked daily.
He covered around 50,000 miles a year, photographing children from Chicago to Florida working in coal mines and factories.
These photos helped to raise an outcry against child labor and made the American public become widely aware of the scope of the problem. This resulted in the establishment of organizations such as the National Child Labor Committee, in 1904, which led the fight against child labor.
If the #universe is a simulation, if it stopped for #backups, would anyone notice?
While we're here, thanks to a lucky belief among some of us in something called "the rapture," it's okay for #admins to clear the #Republican party from our existence. We'll just attribute it to that & get on about our business being sinful bastards trying to protect the #environment from what the #GOP hath wrought on thy holy software-driven, multi-field, accelerated, life-extending self-replication experiment.
According to some sources , only three countries in the world currently have a constitutional right to own a gun: the US, Mexico, and Guatemala. Six other countries used to have a constitutional right to bear arms, but they've since repealed those laws. The US is the only country with a right to keep and bear arms with no constitutional restrictions . Some other countries that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms include the Czech Republic, Ukraine, the Philippines, and Yemen. #uspolitics #2aamendment#guns#gunviolence#gunreform#gunculture#gop#republicans
When people say that all superheroes are inherently fascist, they're ignoring the very real reasons superheroes were invented (mostly by immigrant Jews before and after WWII as a warning against fascism), and extremely specific examples of superhero antifascism like this. https://dmv.community/@akuchling/110407861811807513
There has long been an reluctance in #ComicBooks and #superhero media to mention political topics. Other than #FrankMiller's original #DarkKnight stories, political stances were verboten, back to a #JFK cameo in 1963.
But instead of being viewed as an endorsement of liberal democrat policies by Big Blue, it incorrectly established #Superman as a conformist & establishmentarian.
And as #fascism has taken over establishment #GOP politics, he is now silenced by "bipartisanship."
A political party that threatens to crash the economy unless poor people are made to suffer more is a party that has no regard for human dignity, social justice, or democratic values. Such a party is driven by greed, corruption, and elitism, and does not deserve the trust or support of the people. A responsible and compassionate political party would seek to improve the living conditions of all citizens, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized ones, and to foster economic growth that is sustainable and inclusive. #gop#republicans#housespeaker #debt#debtceiling#kevinmccarthy #kevinmccarthyisanidiot
Impunity for fascists intimidating school boards only encourages more of it.
"In the dozens of incidents ProPublica examined, some of which involved threats and violence, only one person who disrupted a meeting was given a jail sentence: a college student protesting in support of transgender rights."
President Biden on Sunday lambasted proposals put forward by Republicans in debt ceiling negotiations as "unacceptable" and said he "can't guarantee" Republicans won't force a default after talks deteriorated sharply over the weekend #News#GOP#Politics#USA
THAT MEANS THE REST OF US NEED TO OUT-ORGANIZE, OUT-FUNDRAISE, AND OUT-MESSAGE WHAT HAS NOW BECOME A SHAMELESS NEO- #FASCIST MOVEMENT.
Less room for complacency than in 2020, because rank&file GOP is insane. Time to put all the internal squabbles aside, get every person on deck all over again. And work.
The #GOP has flipped its collective middle finger at our Constitution, without which this would not be a right. It would be a government-sanctioned privilege because that middle finger would only be allowed if it was expressing the will of the dictator.
Federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump, who is also a member of the Federalist Society, says school can force trans girl to dress like boy at graduation.
If she wants to take part in the ceremony, she must wear boys clothing, which includes socks, dress shoes, pants, a button-down shirt, and a tie.
In her four years at high school, she has identified as female and worn dresses and women's clothing at school.
@paul #news "Federal judge [Taylor McNeel], appointed by Donald Trump, who is also a member of the Federalist Society, says school can force trans girl to dress like boy at graduation."
Once again, the #GOP shows how petty they are and how they don't care about the innocent collateral casualties of their culture wars.
Two former FBI employees acting as so-called whistleblowers about the federal government's unfair persecution of conservatives on Thursday admitted that they had received money from a former adviser to Donald Trump. #News#GOP#Politics#USA#Trump#MAGA#TrumpCrimeFamily
