Next on the chopping block.. mandatory wheelchair ramps.
Bootsie sees “diversity inclusion” as a threat to his white heterosexual male, Christian dominance. He must have very low self esteem, a fragile sexual identity and feel inferior to race, gender, ethnic and religious identities that don’t mirror his own. Bootsie is an insecure little tyrant and I bet he’s 🤏
Not vetoed by DeSantis yesterday: $108 million for his new private army.
Never before has a presidential effort invested in doors in the way the DeSantis machine is doing. By Labor Day, Never Back Down aims to have about 2,600 trained canvassers in the 18 early nominating states, many with hotel rooms and rental cars, iPads and evolving scripts, not to mention a paycheck from working in a position that is now advertised on job boards as between $20 to $22 an hour.
knock-knock
“We want our army out in the field to be able to provide a concierge type of service,” the group’s chief operating officer Kristin Davison said. “There are people that don’t make it through the school. We are not going to graduate someone who is not up to the standards of what we want at the doors.”
Sounds kinda groom-y.
Just don’t try shoving an agenda down my throat.

The law created a series of pretrial steps that must be taken to decide exactly what classified information will be used in court, and how. Lawyers who have worked such cases view the law as a time-consuming and difficult set of procedures that can be extremely beneficial to any defendant seeking to delay a trial.
So…. The zoo goes “neutral” and that’s “woke”?
To fascists, anything that doesn’t directly support them is the enemy.
Anything that is not exuberant support of them is going woke. Expect attack if you fail their purity test.

While the haters loudly call on companies to remain “neutral” in the “culture wars” (rather than acknowledge the existence and equality of LGBTQ+ individuals, and of many kinds of healthy relationships and families).

One thing that Worf mentioned once, Klingons do not have gods. They did, but they were so troublesome that they killed them. Kahless is just a sort of warrior Buddha, a real person who lived with honor that they try to live up to.
I like that.
A common statement from the religious side of this issue goes something like this “stop shoving your gay agenda down our throats”. In the same breath, they go on to say, “You don’t see us shoving our religion down your throat”.
Well then…
Have you ever had a homosexual knock on your door (usually around dinner time) asking if you have found Elton John?
Have homosexuals ever passed laws that make the government print “In Homosexuality We Trust” on your money?
When was the last time homosexuals passed laws that rewrote the Pledge of Allegiance to say, “One Homosexual Nation”?
Have homosexuals erected a monument with Marc Jacobs’ top 10 fashion rules at your local courthouse?
Have any homosexual groups spent millions trying to pass laws to outlaw marriage between a woman and a man?
Have homosexual activists worked to pass laws limiting birth control, abortion, etc?
Did a homosexual ever prevent you from buying liquor or a car on Sunday?
Is there a book promoting homosexuality in almost every hotel room in the country?
Have homosexuals pushed for laws to make the missionary position illegal?
Have homosexuals tried to pass a law allowing them to legally refuse service to Christians?
Right, they have never shoved their religious agenda down our collective throats.
Do the homosexual children beat up the straight ones while the teachers pretend not to see?

Do we idolize a book which calls for their deaths?
Have the police raided churches and arrested all of the congregants?
Within your lifetime, praying in the privacy of your home been a felony punishable by several decades in prison?

You’re right it’s practically all they do. They’re hell bent on converting the world to their toxic religion.
The march of the rabid right terrorists continues, threatening corporations and businesses with everything up to and including potential violence unless they capitulate. Sickening.
IIRC Anheuser Busch fired some marketing executives before Targer capitulated to them. These “wins” only emboldened them more and now Starbucks.
I am going to Pride this year (I haven’t always) and will encourage everyone to get out in the damn streets. I am hearing sooooo much of this insidious “but not in front of the children” far-right /
Russian / Nazi propaganda, wnich was tired nearly 50 years ago when Anita Bryant called her organization SAVE THE CHILDREN”. In my generation the number of self-identified queer people was 2% – for Gen Z, it’s 20% – we need to be counted!
