What century is it in Tennessee?

Tonight, officials in Franklin, Tenn, will decide whether LGBTQ people should be allowed to have a festival in public.

The city is being pressured to deny the pride permit by conservative Christians who packed city hall wearing “Choose Decency” stickers.

Dana Bash at CNN was so busy apologizing for the fascist rights judicial tyranny because #AOC said to ignore the #abortionpill ruling.

If they decide to rule that indentured servitude is constitutional should we just go along with that too? Where do you draw the line when it comes to partizan judges imposing their twisted ideology on the people in this country?

Since I moved to Britain 11+ years ago, there has been *one* mass shooting. There have been 15 in the US in April already. It’s the guns. https://brianklaas.substack.com/p/its-the-guns

@atomic @Benevans @Computeforloot A gun could turn a theft where you hand over your phone to a criminal into a shootout that could leave one or both of you (or bystanders) dead. Feels like it raises the stakes, not decreases them. I think of the case a few years ago where a guy yelled at some kids for their loud music at a gas station. He felt safe doing so because he had a gun in his car. He thought one of them flashed a gun, so he pulled his & shot. No gun was found. The gun raised the stakes.

People having abortions won’t affect your life. Gay people getting married won’t affect your life. Trans people existing won’t affect your life. But people owning AR-15s sure as fuck will.

Welcome to post-Roe dystopia

David Graeber got an economist to admit that he was not aware of single case where a company was fined more than the profit it turned breaking the law. He summarized this as the government saying: "Do all the crime you want, but if we catch you, you have to give us a cut."

If I ask you, "Did you hear about the latest #MassShooting?" and you must ask me, "Which one?", we've got a problem. 😞

Once again DA Bragg calls out the criminal traitor and clown @Jim_Jordan. Jordan's latest stunt is to waste taxpayers money going to NYC while cities in his own state have higher crime rates than NYC.

"If mass murderers had a lobby, they would have nothing to ask for, because #Republicans have given them every law they could possibly want." --Lawrence O'Donnell just now.

We need to brand Moms for Liberty as a hate group and outlaw them already.

"The removal at Vero Beach High School was spurred by at least one challenge from a parent in the district affiliated with the conservative activist group Moms For Liberty"
