I’m not victim blaming, because the real victims here are the children. And teachers need jobs, so I’m going to give them some leeway here.

Wait....the kids ate sushi every single day, day in/out, always?  No outdoor recess....and parents shelled out $15K/yr for this?  WTF?

I’m sorry, but what part of Kanye’s school ever “[sounded] great on paper”??

They may not even be out of the legislature for long, as the cities they represent can appoint whoever they choose to fill those seats. Pearson and Jones should both be eligible for that. I can’t think of a better way to tell these racist fucks to eat shit than to put Pearson and Jones back in the seats they earned. 

All they have achieved is to turn this two impressive young men into national superstars who will be back in office in no time. If the Tennessee GOP thought they were being trolled by two Gen Z Reps, wait until they find out what it’s like to be trolled by two unemployed gen Z.

It’s amazing seeing how quickly what semblance of democracy the US has, dying before our eyes at increasing speed.

Wasn’t the entire song about him sexually assaulting her?

Unfortunately the GOP holds the House so impeachment is a pipe dream. Too bad. If the House impeached him, the current Senate make up would probably convict him.

And nothing will be done about it.

Thomas’s disdain for laws that regulate his own behavior is somehow still shocking. Now let’s wait for a wave of whataboutism from Republican reps and silence from the SCOTUS justices in 3, 2, 1....

Sure looks like bribery to me.

In a sane world, he’d resign today or face immediate impeachment.  (although if we had a sane world, he’d have been gone long ago or never seated in the first place.)  

Oh let me guess....no hazard pay for having to now arm yourself?

The whole point of getting it overturned wasn’t to defer to the states. It was obviously the first domino in what was expected to be a full court press on anti-abortion laws, both on the state and federal level. States are trying to enact laws that affect other states’ sovereignty, and people like Lindsey Graham are…

I mean, what did she think was going to happen? That Roe was going to fall and Republicans were just going to go, “Yay! We won! Nothing more to do here! Let’s all go home and be happy with that result.” The whole point of overturning Roe was so that they could enact these draconian laws, which have always been…

“That’s nice Ann, but, see sweetie: You’re a woman. And that means you’re a second class citizen in the conservative world. So, if we want to hear your opinion, we’ll come into the kitchen and ask for it. Okay sweetie? Okay.”

A a teacher who is constantly spending my own money to supply my classroom in order to try and close the COVID learning gaps and also provide social emotional support because our school has no social worker, and also buy food because so many students come to school hungry, and spend all my weekends planning lessons…

This. The fact that folks who really should know better seem to think that the GOP even believe in democracy anymore, much less plan to play by its rules is very depressing. You’re arguing the rules of chess while the other side is actively and out in the open, planning to burn the whole fucking building down with you…

But this isn’t a good point? Abortion isn’t a constitutional right anymore, sure, but then it will still occur in blue states that protect that right. The whole point of the anti-choice crowd is a national abortion ban and punishing women who try to get one anyway. Taking away a constitutional right isn’t enough to be…

This is premised on the idea that Republicans still need popular support to win elections to remain in power.
