Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was kicked out of a Denver performance of the musical Beetlejuice on Sunday after reportedly vaping, causing a disturbance, and using her phone in ways that elicited multiple complaints from audience members. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/lauren-boebert-surveillance-footage-ejection-beetlejuice-1234824129/

She’s not mature enough to attend a show, but she’s in government. Who lives in her district and voted twice for this lunatic? Absolute bottom of the barrel.

Alabama’s AG is trying to restrict people’s rights on multiple fronts currently, defending the state’s refusal to follow the Supreme Court’s voting rights ruling and asking to short-circuit the appeals process to enforce its anti-trans law. https://www.lawdork.com/p/alabama-voting-rights-scotus-trans-care

If Alabama doesn’t recognize the authority of the SC, they don’t need federal funds.

Also if Jenna Ellis, Esq. gets incinerated by a lightning bolt for constantly taking her lord's name in vain. I love the smell of burning asshat in the morning. It smells like victory.

I don’t care how much they deny it, or posture otherwise, but all of these wannabe seditionist assholes know it was all bullshit. The fake causes, missions, outrage, and rebellions. And now they can rot in prison for decades, knowing their silly performative bulllshit completely fucked their lives. That thought makes me so very happy.

The thing about Twitter is that a lot of people let it become part of their lives. Myself included. And to have it degraded and snatched away by a reprehensible shit head like Elon Musk… well, it hurts. Pretty weird to feel grief about a social media site, but a lot of us do.

Then, good via @josephinelee, a court stepped in to block implementation of the bill, at least for now: https://www.texasobserver.org/judge-strikes-down-leges-power-grab-against-cities-hb-2127/

It's not surprising to me that Republicans only know how to lie to each other and the public. What always surprises me is how rarely the public seems to get that that's all they're doing. And all they ever have been doing. Face it. Our friends, families, and neighbors are all gullible dupes and dopes who have all played a role in this ongoing idiocracy for far too long.

    Let me get this straight. Republicans are banning books, drag shows, and life-saving gender-affirming care, all to "protect children"

    But they're also rolling back child labor laws, blocking gun reform, and passing laws to force adolescents to give birth.

    Do I have that right?
