I’ll say that this is less an indictment on Kid Rock - a degenerate moron whom I’ve always hated - and more on just how comfortable American culture as a whole was with sexualizing and objectifying high school-age girls until - and I cannot stress this enough - like ten years ago
Would Bluesky enjoy this god awful clip of Kid Rock from SNL S26E16 that has been scrubbed from the internet?
Because I just found a host of VHS back ups and have that clip right here 😇
As far as I know I have the only YouTube upload - SNL scrubbed the clip long before YouTube

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

I suspect there are a lot of House Democrats in their 70s or 80s who think they're going to coast back into a comfortable leadership position by keeping their head down and riding the blue wave, but they're going to have to navigate these kinds of challenges first and most are not ready at all.
“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.
“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.
“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

Clergy friends, your moral voice matters so, so SO much in this moment.
In the public square.
Pushing your electeds.
With congregants.
At actions.
Teaching the truths of your tradition & using the authority of your office.
& calling in all that damn social capital.
