Here is a huge FAIL from North Carolina (which the business has now deleted from Twitter):

This article is perfection.

I must also go to this strange land of complex sandwiches with you and Mr. Brooks. I will delight in his befuddlement when he observers that I am perfectly capable of ordering a sandwich - despite the fact that a have a very strong Southern accent and my grandparents were farmers! And then I will roundhouse him with…

I think it is worth noting that one reason some victims don’t report is that they don’t want to have to go through the examination and be re-traumitized. The examination is very invasive, involves photographs that you know the attorneys and investigators will see - it is just too much for some people.

I used to do a lot of employment law, and I cannot even BEGIN to tell you how many people have to be fired for some porn-at-work related incident. Look at porn at home, people! Or the library, or wherever is NOT work.

This has been said here before, but it is worth re-stating.

You know, it is a crazy topsey-turney world when the ones saying “follow the law!” and “everyone should obey the rules!” . . . are also the ones considered to be “activists” and “protesters”.

Billy Graham’s message that “AIDS was god’s punishment for being gay” was repeated in pulpits around the South in the 80s. How many young people heard that and thought that they were hated, that they didn’t deserve to live?

A friend of mine who is an AME preacher in NC (who is normally very circumspect), wrote about Billy’s passing something like, “Rest in peace, Brother Graham. Too bad your son Franklin isn’t worth a pile of garbage.” I laughed at loud at that.

Trump has ALSO nominated one of the architects of NC’s vote-suppressing law that targeted African American voters “with almost surgical precision” to be a Federal Judge in Eastern North Carolina - Thomas Farr.

Virginia is the South - except for Northern Virginia, which is mostly people from other places.

This has been a big problem in North Carolina, and one of reasons we have such awful people in the state legislature - if you didn’t already have money, the caucus would not help you.

No. The problem is that Emily’s list was originally meant to help with early money - seed money - but now only wants to come in AFTER a candidate has already raised a lot of money.

You are exactly right - many people think that racism is just private, inner feeling of hate in tier hearts or something.

For real. Let’s all go follow & retweet these teenagers and support them.

I describe it as “If you do not believe that women have a right to their own bodies, that women have a right to body autonomy - you cannot claim to support women”. Because, basically if you are saying that a government should be able to force a woman to remain pregnant and a government can force a woman to give…

Also, a 3-day suspension when you are trying to change things so YOU WON’T GET SHOT is . . . not much of a comparison. People are dying.

I have hope too. Because the people speaking out are the actual the young people who went though this is very powerful.

Yeah - I say we use that tweet to bait him into supporting gun control: “Yeah, YOU can show those liberals who is the BOSS by passing the gun control that they couldn’t!” “Those liberals are all talk, but YOU can MAGA by actually passing gun control!”

WORD. Every single member of the House of Representatives is up for election THIS YEAR. and 1/3 of Senators. Make this a campaign issue for all of them! Tweet them, call them - whatever and ask what they are doing to address gun violence. And double check your voter registration to make sure t is up to date!
