...of their own, gayer than others. I think it's something about the school boards!

People want us to be like Russia!

Some of our states are passing laws that are evocative of dictatorships and the result is silence

Florida passed a law that mandates that LGBT people not be discussed at all in k - 3 and only in 'age appropriate' ways in other grades with the violators facing lawsuits. Idaho passed a law banning affirming care for trans teens including banning people from leaving the state to get such care, the penalty is a felony with prison time up to life in prison. Missouri is about to pass a law banning women from leaving the state to get abortions and authorizing suits against people who help them do so (even if those people aren't from Missouri). And one could watch MSNBC 24/7 and not hear a word about these laws. Disney literally told their employees who were upset over Florida's law and Disney's contributions to politicians who enacted it, to get therapy. I know there are important things happening but it seems this should merit a mention on the news.

Keep in mind this is for kindergarten through third grad that they cannot be taught. I think some feel it is from kindergarten through college.

Like can these "tender years" be taught anything about "Stand Your Ground" laws? Or unconstitutional gerrymandering? Or "the right kind of people?" ...things like that...

I have to, on occasion, make deliveries there and I'm not about to turn down a good paying load, especially in these economic trying times because of the illegal invasion by Daddy Vladdy.

I do wear my "Fuck Trump" face mask unless my customer requests me not to.

As far as bumper stickers, I won't put those on my truck, but I do have on my car a "suck it Trump" on my rear window in AZ.
