Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.

They had remote voting in the House during COVID, and Republicans repealed it as soon as they took over, purely out of spite. Luna voted for the repeal, as they say in the article. 

It’s not. From Wikipedia:

A lunatic? I see what you did there. 😂

Republicans are actually terrorists masquerading as a political party. And the masks are off. They’re showing you who they are. They create policies that hurt the American taxpayers, the very people paying their salaries. Vote them the fuck out. If we don’t, it will only get worse. 

Yup. From the link above:

Glancing at the top photo as I was scrolling by this article, I immediately had two thoughts: a) she’s cute, and b) this is a character/screen-cap from the latest “Mean Girls” movie.

“Florida...we stupid so you don’t have to.” 

Yes, some of us must live with Tim Scott and Candace Owens being “one of us.” Fortunately, we can comfort ourselves with the saying “all skinfolk aren’t kinfolk!”

I am eternally mind-blown that my parents got their papers in 1969/70 in a matter of months, yet think it’s perfectly reasonable our Venezuelan friends went through a 14 year struggle plus attorney fees to get theirs...

Since they cannot be trusted to do much of anything honorably/honestly, I actually think we SHOULD require them to be in person for as many votes as possible. They already use mental gymnastics to defend their positions and they do as much as possible to obfuscate when caught in a lie or called out for hypocrisy. May…

Technology has evolved to the point that there should be no rule against voting remotely. It actually makes voting more fair for everyone, here’s why:

“[Thing X] should be banned unless it personally helps me, in which case [Thing X] should still be banned but I should get an exemption” is so on brand for the gop that this shouldn’t even be news any more.

Oh I get that it’s effectively the same—I just happen to feel personally affronted and ashamed when I see a fellow Cuban-American millennial pull this shit. When I found out Enrique Tarrio is Afro-Cuban, I about died inside. I was so embarrassed I thought “is this what it would feel like to shit my pants in front of a…

It’s the same dynamic. I’ve never forgotten one of Colbert’s Difference Maker segments where they interviewed a bunch of militiamen assholes putting up 400 meters of barbed wire fencing down at the border (for reasons). There was a Mexican-American woman with them, happily stapling up barbed wire, and she said…

Had to hold my breath while I looked her up. I saw the Hispanic name and that she’s a Florida congresswoman, and I immediately braced myself for the overwhelming shame of discovering yet another Cuban-American who got into politics to carry water for white supremacists and Christian nationalists. Fortunately for me,…

I’ve been saying for quite some time that she’s a lunatic; glad that sentiment is spreading!

We live in the 21st century and have had the technology to broadcast a yea/nay vote from anywhere on the planet for quite a while. Maybe we should all get with the times.

Exactly. Barbie is a comedy. It’s not fair to judge it by obvious Oscar bait standards like Killers or Oppenheimer. It can be exhausting watching the same human suffering films. There are equally great stories to be told of human life outside of war, holocaust, slavery, genocide, HIV/AIDs, homophobia etc. I think…

This sounds familiar. My father owned a restaurant when I was a little girl in the early 1980s and all of his waitresses were blonde bombshells. I think at least one of them sued him wrongful termination but I don’t know the details. TBH, I haven’t wanted to look very closely. Maybe I should. He hated me and was…
