Teaching a bunch of lies about American exceptionalism and how imperialism is actually good isn’t what I’d call “fact based”

That's a right thing, not a left thing.

Right like how democrats in nearly all major cities increased police funding and almost none passed any meaningful reform.

A lot of left leaning places pushed consent decrees, for example:

But don’t remotely consider universal healthcare

The list time Democrats had a filibuster-proof trifecta it was for about 2 months and they passed Obamacare. Since then Republicans have nullified about 40% of it.

Preserve the status quo which I wouldn’t call a democracy.

Except by definition it is a democracy. Like it or not, most people vote for the status quo.

Democrats

• Retain marriage rights for gay couples.

• Expand legality of recreational drugs.

• Free food for schoolchildren.

• Tax credits for families with children.

• Subsidized for free childcare.

• Expand electric car charging nationally.

• Subsidize sustainable fuel sources.

• Fact based education standards.

• Stop racism in policing.

• Expanded healthcare subsidies.

• Preserve democracy.

Republicans

• Being gay or trans should be illegal.

• White supremacy is great!

• Christianity as national religion.

• Privatize the post office and weather service.

*Eliminate the EPA, Department of Education.

• Defund IRS.

• Disenfranchise nonwhites and women.

• Antivax agenda.

• Expand fossil fuel use.

• Eliminate worker safety laws.

• Eliminate collective bargaining and union rights.

• Defunding science research.

• Deregulate crypto.

• No regulations on AI.

• No recognition of child's educational or bodily autonomy rights.

• Eliminate hate crime laws except for straight white men.

• End democracy, install fascist dictatorship.

But yeah, they are totally the same, right guys? RIGHT!?!

To me, MAGAs have always been revolting bah-dum-tss

Sounds like they managed to do it before COVID.

Sigh...I know you're right. The law doesn't matter anymore, at least for them. I think it is important though to never let this sort of thing become something you see as normal. It is still alarming, even if something alarming like this happens every day.

That should really not be legal. Without knowing their names, how can the defendants know if the prosecutors have conflicts of interest or are even legally allowed to practice law?

He's another Federalist Society judge picked by Trump. He also blocked a rule that would have extended overtime protections for 4 million government workers in 2024.

The rule I've always used is that if the first letter of the word immediately following it is a vowel, it's "an" and if it isn't use "a".

For example, "an apple" or "a potato". If there is an adjective, go by that first letter, for example "a large apple" or "an average potato".

Reminds me of Trevor Noah's bit about going to Germany and learning his accent makes him sound like Hitler.

Their policy on education, media, and the arts seems to be to stop doing it entirely.

My neighborhood is better because it has Pride flags instead of rebel flags and BLM chapters instead of Klan chapters.

We are just beginning to understand how much the chemical Imbalances that lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders originate in the digestive tract and how microplastics from food may disrupt the processing of these chemicals.
