(Note: "Messianic Jews" in this context are a Christian sect targeting Jews for conversion. They're not Jewish, they follow Jesus and preach the resurrection.)

I predict that within 7 years, a #Florida high school #diploma will not be accepted for admission to the majority of colleges across the country. The kids will have to get an in state #education which will be suspect to many employers. Or also need a #GED

It will take decades for the state to come back from this. And any other that follows.

My parents were young CORE workers. Never forget the murder of 3 Civil Rights workers in Mississippi in 1964. The case drew national attention because 2 of the men were White. Due to 200 FBI searching for them, the bodies of other missing Black men were found. Never forget the murders were planned by a sheriff and Baptist minister in the KKK. Those evil men are fathers and grandfathers of men we have to deal with today. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/freedomsummer-murder/

On the Right, the only definition of “freedom” that matters is the freedom to impose a reactionary “natural” order on others and subjugate all those who dare to deviate.

It manifests most blatantly in this: The “freedom” to curtail the freedom of others and force them to undergo demeaning, cruel rituals.

Um, slight problem here. Just 30 tons of explosives missing somewhere between Wyoming and California.

Move along now, nothing to see here.

A quiet shot across the bow of school districts that egregiously and without due process remove #books and thereby create a hostile environment for #students of marginalized backgrounds: federal Education Department ruling in Georgia case. Book removals also may have violated student civil rights. #FirstAmendment #FreePress #FreedomToRead #censorship

“8 more women are joining a lawsuit against the state of #Texas, saying the state's abortion bans put their health or lives at risk while facing pregnancy-related medical emergencies.

The new plaintiffs have added their names to a lawsuit originally filed in March by 5 women & 2 drs who say pregnant patients being denied #abortion under TX law despite facing serious med complications.” #legal #WomensReproductiveRights https://www.npr.org/2023/05/22/1177425651/texas-women-sue-abortion

We don't need to ban TikTok. Just have every parent sign up and post nagging comments on their kid's videos. Reply mom and reply dad can be the new reply guy. Kids usage metrics would drop so fast you'd think it was owned by Zuckerberg.
