Corenswet, Hoult & Brosnahan are perfectly casted.

I can't wait to see what's next in Gunn's DCU.

NCGOP has filed a Don’t Say Gay bill 2.0 🙄

In addition to increased restrictions on content relating to “gender identity, sexual activity, or sexuality” in grades K-12, it also seriously contradicts itself.

As a history teacher, I am always intrigued by connections made between multiple events, people, or perspectives. This has to be one of the best I have read.

Remember when you were a kid in elementary school studying history and thought: how could people have been so ridiculous back then?

Well...

Terms like “woke”, “DEI”, and “liberal” have been co-opted and defined by the right so much that they appear as bad words. They should be reclaimed for their true meaning, just as the US flag should be taken back and not just used for a false patriotism.
The acceleration of anti-trans attacks isn't what scares me most at the moment. What scares me most are non-trans people who believe the GOP will stop at the military ban and passports and gender-affirming care for youth.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Those are brownshirts and concentration camps and the people writing these stories need to start calling them what they are.
A group of prominent military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, has pitched the Trump White House on a proposal to carry out mass deportations through a network of “processing camps” on military bases and a “small army” of private citizens empowered to make arrests.
Documents reveal how military contractors want to take over mass deportations
The group, led by Blackwater veteran Erik Prince, has close Trump ties.

The one good thing about Trump 2.0 is that more people are finding out all of the good things that government is doing rather than just accepting the narrative that government does nothing for you.

I shared a post on a different site recently that about the D0GE work and a cancelled contract for Reuters. The post I shared had verifiable facts and I had the same facts from outside reliable sources. This morning FB “added context” from an “independent fact checker” that said it was false.

One leader of our Cabarrus County (NC) GOP posted on a different app that with Trump’s victory, we need to support his agenda of DOGE here locally. They call it the Commission on Financial Efficiency.

Should have named it Commission on Valuing Financial Efficiency for Future Endeavors (COVFEFE).

The DEI and CRT arguments have always been a distraction. US Dept of Ed doesn’t deal with curriculum. This is why they want to get rid of Ed Dept.
They want to dismantle the Dept of Education so they can discriminate.

Girls sports and SpEd and gifted programs will suffer. Segregation academies will appear.

Mark it.
