Yeah, it just keeps repeating itself and gets bigger each time. I meant my comment more to read that this is a repeating theme in the us.

Haven’t we seen this headline a few times already? I feel like this was a point made after 2008 and covid lockdown at least.

It is also helping them cover up the brachside resort and golf course and theme park they are building with him.

There was a study comparing test scores of children from a more poor neighborhood that had city water with fluoride and test scores of children from a rich neighborhood that had its own water system and didn’t add fluoride to the water. To nobody’s surprise, the rich kids tended to score higher on tests and those publishing the study claimed that it was the lack of fluoride in the rich kids’ water that helped them score higher, instead of the inherent food and home security and additional parental support that comes from wealth.

If they quack like a republican and walk like a republican, they’re a republican

Especially polls with less than 1,500 people surveyed

It’s my understanding another party needs 5% of the vote in an election to get federal money and news coverage.

There’s also a clause where you agree not to perform an abortion while on duty.

It’s really weird and probably comes from Abbott saying that all money from the state supports Israel and that no money is used to fund an abortion.

Not just corporations, but also individuals with a government contract and may also apply to government/school district employees

In Texas, if you have a contract with the state or a school district, you have to sign a contract where you agree not to “boycott israel” whatever that means. So I guess if one was to “boycott israel” while taking money from the state of Texas, that could be considered an illegal boycott.

It looks like the GDPR covers no unsubscribe option in emails

Report it to the FTC. The CAN-SPAM Act calls for something like a $50K fine for every email sent that doesn’t include a one-click unsubscribe button.

Yes. I have a friend in meteorology and they said that the Weather Channel doesn’t actually have any meteorologists on staff, they just repackage what NOAA and the NWS report instead of crunching numbers themselves.

Probabaly a mix of lowering government costs to give billionaires a tax break and if we don’t monitor it the climate change numbers don’t get worse.

Reminds me of Margaret Thatcher in The Crown insusting that her regressive economic policies was medicine and that the interim pain was temporary.

There’s a movement in the American churches where members are told to fill their quiver, AKA have a lot of kids. I wouldn’t be surprised if an order like this came from the christian nationalists with project 2025. They are wanting to build up their own communities and spurn the areas that they aren’t populating.

Edit: those kind of people also say that allowing donations to churches to be tax deductible is god’s way of rewarding them for tithing. They want the government to reward them for their beliefs.

If I recall correctly, it would be Air Force Two.

You’re welcome. It’s important to know our rights and what’s at stake if we lose them. We need to be prepared for what may come.

They wrote it broadly and I’m sure did some research to ensnare more people. When these people say they liked the 50s, they were also talking about the Lavender Scare with McCarthty and I’m sure would love to see a revival of the purge.

This is from the TX sodomy law. Oral sex, anal sex, women touch another woman’ breast in a sexual manner, and sex toys are outlawed. The law is pretty comprehensive and seems to cover everyone in the community.

"Sec. 21.01. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter:

(1) “Deviate sexual intercourse” means:

(A) any contact between any part of the genitals of one person and the mouth or anus of another person; or

(B) the penetration of the genitals or the anus of another person with an object.

(2) “Sexual contact” means, except as provided by Section 21.11 or 21.12, any touching of the anus, breast, or any part of the genitals of another person with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person. … Sec. 21.06. HOMOSEXUAL CONDUCT. (a) A person commits an offense if he engages in deviate sexual intercourse with another individual of the same sex.

(b) An offense under this section is a Class C misdemeanor."

If the Supreme Court strikes down Lawrence v TX (the ruling that struck down anti-spdomy laws) homosexual acts will only be illegal in states with anti-sodomy laws on the books. California is not one of those states. California has a law against sex acts with a minor, but not sex acts between consenting adults.

Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas all have statutes criminalizing consensual sodomy on the books and, if scotus reveals Lawrence, homosexual acts will be criminal once again.
