Hallmark went โ€œwokeโ€, now they have the Great American Family channel.

I wish that was a joke :disappointed:

An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic," Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said in the news release.

So, she is going to cure childhood obesity by letting kids starve. Sure, thatโ€™ll work great! Fucking ghouls.

Ah, the โ€œYouโ€™ve got to be cruel to be kindโ€ school of thought.

Well, sort of, except for the โ€œkindโ€ part. Thatโ€™s right out of there. They donโ€™t believe in kindness of any sort. Itโ€™s coercion or suppression. Thatโ€™s it.

My only nitpick with that piece is the statement โ€œDonโ€™t depend on courts or institutions to save us from this guy.โ€ I mean, for sure, just passively depending on that would be a mistake, but courts and institutions have to be central to a successful strategy, or else weโ€™re abandoning the rule of law ourselves. Part of direct action is pressuring courts and institutions to do their fucking job and remove or mitigate the threat piece by piece.

Courts and institutions were the single most effective mechanism of our democracy to counter T**** during his presidency. Itโ€™s weird they havenโ€™t been able to act faster once he was voted out, but there certainly is a shitload of activity against him right now.

It takes a long time to get rid of all his appointees. Weโ€™ve been lucky that some of them put the law over partisan or financial interests. Still, it could be another decade before those who enabled 45 and other GOP pols are completely replaced. :woman_shrugging:t4:

Iโ€™m still angry over the fact that some of the congress critters on record trying to fly in fake electors arenโ€™t sitting in a goddamned jail cell after being tossed from office.

Justice is slow I knowโ€ฆ But I want justice.

iโ€™m certain part of that was covid. many courts were completely shut down, and it took a bit to get them going again and get through the backlog

( this being so unprecedented iโ€™m sure also has made the process slower. people making sure the groundwork is solid )

Punishing who now?

Somehow I think most Americans would see the problem if some state or municipality took it upon themselves to start arresting people they suspected of cheating on Federal taxes, but arresting people on suspicion of violating Federal immigration law is supposed to be OK?
