I’m thrilled Tuberville is lifting his hold on 400+ military nominations. But he should still be expelled.

“Our culture has fallen so far since the founding of our country, and it’s just getting worse.” ~ House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)

Yeah, look how we've "fallen" since the days of George Washington:
- Outlawed enslaving humans
- Expanded voting rights
- Established public education
- Protected safety of workers
- Insured bank deposits
- Adopted regulations for safe food
- Created Social Security safety net

... and so much more that we can be sure Speaker Johnson and the GOP want to put to an end.

The US State Dept. briefing yesterday highlighted a lot of excellent points.

This one needs more attention: No one is holding Hamas, the elected governing body of Gaza, accountable for the safety of Palestinian civilians.

@AlliFlowers So libraries should be promoters of propaganda. And the only reading allowed would be govt-approved literature. Ron de Santis wants his people educated his way. And he’s such a brilliant scholar, who could argue with him?

Floridians!

When does the whitewashing transition into aiding & abetting traitorous domestic terrorists? "Johnson said Republicans are blurring out the faces of people on the #J6 tapes "because we don't want them to be retaliated against and be charged the DOJ." -Jake Sherman

@AlliFlowers I can't tell if this means that Ronnie is trying to be socialist or fascist or both. Althusser would agree that, naturally, libraries are ALREADY a state apparatus. but turning them into something like state media (message) is wild.

obviously, the reactionary right is not bound by values. they are bound by their bigotry.

@AlliFlowers
But if true doesn't that put school libraries squarely in the remit of the 1st amendment, prohibiting them from censorship?

Lesson number 172 why NOT to infuse religion into parenting.

Mom: "any time you feel like doing that (masturbating), just remember that picture of your Great Aunt Esther. She'll be looking down on you from Heaven."

Kid: ("hope she likes watching me masturbate.")

We would have parents bring kids into the ER for psych admission for beating off. (No we never admitted them)

Holy shit get a grip, Americans.
