I was wondering that too. Was it their teachers? Other chaperone parents? If I was chaperoning a field trip and some person - famous or otherwise - started directing me to allow them to take photos of other people’s children without the parent’s consent, that would send my “bad idea” radar off the charts. For example,…

First off to the spokesperson who gave this gem....

It’s Republican science tho.

The link to the Des Moines Register includes a picture of someone holding a baby/fetus replica. The reason I’m not sure if it’s a baby or a fetus is because the caption reads, emphasis mine,“Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina looks on as Jenifer Bowen with Iowa Right to Life holds up an example of a 26-mon…

Yup, if this was my kiddo I would be on every news outlet that would have me, reading this bitch to filth. Demanding a public apology. Jesus fucking christ, this is literally awful.

After looking at just a half-dozen or so articles, here’s an early look at just the fiscal impact of the GOP’s pennywise plan:

The thing is, this had nothing to do with environmental regs, not really. It was undergrad engineering level stuff that the bureaucrats were told would happen, but they chose to ignore. You CAN change from lake water to river water. You need to treat the water before it goes into the pipes, so it isn’t as corrosive…

They’re using Flint as a reason to cut the EPA, too. “Well where was the EPA while this crisis was happening?” Um, federal officials can’t jump in until asked and state officials were fired or replaced with “emergency managers” under Snyder’s fabulous governance plan. So blow me.

It wasn’t just penny wisecracking. For decades, Republicans have been starving the cities, cutting revenue sharing and refusing to invest in the very cities who, surprise no one, fall into emergency financial management. This is a long con. They want to defeat the dirty Democrats, those needy dependent minorities and…

Like it literally says something along the lines of:
“A lot of complaints are coming in about foul-smelling yucky water, making people sick.”
“They’re poor, what do they expect champagne? Tell them to quit their whining.”

The GOP governors always seem to rush in with all kinds of slash and burn cuts - WITHOUT ever looking at any of the fallout or long range consequences. (see also: Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin)

For yaweh’s sake, some of the GOP candidates have proposed *eliminating the EPA altogether* (after DECADES of slashing it’s funding…

Sounds like they’re creating the next generation of GOP voters.

Yeah, blacking out the ENTIRE EMAIL is certainly going to make this better for them. It has to be so bad for them to have done this. Unimaginably bad. I can’t wait to see what they did.

Because it’s a threat to the notion and idea of dominance that white people believe (and basically do) they have in the US. Because if it’s not about them explicitly, then it’s against them implicitly and that cannot stand. It’s all about the power dynamics and holding onto that at all costs. All Lives Matter is just…

In this country black people have always been treated as if their lives - and livelihoods - don’t matter. Black Lives Matter MEANS All Lives Matter; that’s the point! When someone pulls the “ALM” BS I want to say yes you’re right, it’s about time black lives are added to the list of “all.”

Yeah human rights and decency are not a limited quantity, nor is it a zero-sum game; if I treat you with dignity and respect, you have in no way suffered a loss if I turn around and treat another person with the same dignity and respect that I gave you. And BLM isn’t asking for special treatment - they’re asking for…

White people are “only” 66% of the population now, down from 80% twenty-five years ago and many are terrified. Hence the general madness when it comes to immigration, Trump, race (especially in the form of BLM) and Obama, who is the face of these changes and whose presidency, to them, means their end. This kind of…

It’s because white people cannot imagine a) things not being about them and that being a positive thing b) racial pride not being defined by hatred for, supremacy over, and the oppression of others.

It's like how feminism apparently excludes men. I don't think these kinds of people can do basic logic.
