Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

He was just, like, a guy. Not a politician. Not a statesman of any kind. Just some really mean guy. Flags at half mast. Yankee moment of silence. Whatever the shit this is.

🧵 We've had a decade of marriage equality—and that may be all we get. Just like I warned about Roe for years, I'm warning you now: Obergefell is absolutely on the chopping block. The same "history and tradition" test that killed abortion rights? That's their blueprint for same-sex marriage.

Good advice here:
Do you still follow someone because you’re angry at them and want to track the things they do?

This is the plan
Not content with mocking the civil rights movement, they’re just going around the world to collect every white racist loser in modern history.
This government's been failing moral tests pretty consistently for a while now but "who were the bad guys in apartheid?" is a pretty easy one and everyone's had the answer key for 40+ years

This so directly out of the Nazi playbook. The very obvious plan is to get rid of the independent accreditors and put all universities under jurisdiction of the federal government. This is how Hitler took over German academia and made it a wing of his party.
They're going after the accreditation of universities and threatening to revoke the ability of accreditors if they don't crack down on DEI and LGBTQ people in academia.

We finished The Residence last night (after Cory B stopped speaking) and then learned that Andre Braugher was cast as A.B. and filmed most of the scenes before his death. Love him so much! Excellent show.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.
