After what happened at the Stonewall Pride parade outside Fort Lauderdale this Law is sure to be challenged.

What the virus doesn’t take can be cleaned up in the parking lot of a trump rally. They bill themselves as “stop the steal” protests. Protecting the privileged position of drivers should very well apply, at least in Oklahoma.

This relates to the response I gave a while back to it let who says he’ll unpack it…

“Although the police killing of George Floyd sparked massive, worldwide protests that many white people participated in, just one year later, support for the Black Lives Matter movement has already dissipated; some white Americans are even less supportive of Black Lives Matter than they were prior to Floyd’s death.”

Republicans weaponized DEFUND THE POLICE and still lost the senate majority and though they shaved down the Democratic majority in the House they were still the minority.

Thanks to the fucking moderates we are AGAIN in the process of pissing away advantage and increasing the odds of losing a congressional majority in the mid-terms.

Fuck Joe Manchin... he’s gonna give away the store and STILL not get one Republican.

I prefer Emancipation day. Juneteenth sounds nonsensical?

No offense but IDGAF what you would prefer!

I have seen "Day" tacked on the end.

They aren't even consistently calling it anything.
Who is "they"?

I just watched Real Time with Bill Maher, a little known, pot-smoking libertarian white boy of privilege comedian satirist,  who has almost no following here in Elba. In any case he mentioned Juneteenth in his open, and wondered,

“Being the very newest of our holidays, white people, I must say, are very confused. Do we barbecue? Is there a mattress sale? What is the right time to start drinking? 2!”

People in his audience laughed. I suspect they did at home too.

Its sad so many here in Elba felt compelled to turn a joke into woke.

LMAO
Maybe if you had not shoved the "joke" at the only identified African American in the room, it might have been a mildly amusing joke about how we monetize even the sacred and less an attempt.to demean the holiday and belittle those supporting it to the one person here who would likely care most.

The Vox article,  however,  is addressing a real problem with legislatures cracking down on basic first amendment rights of assembly.   The Constitution was more concerned about freedoms of assembly than your vexations at having to take an alternate route to Sam's Club to buy toilet paper.   

I agree the Herald report is a good factcheck on the true nature of accident at the Pride parade.

I’m glad it wasn’t an act of terror. I’m also cognizant of the FACT initial reports indicated a deliberate act.

So happy Father’s Day and fuck you.

Ohio republicans are calling for a federal broadband option to set a maximum price and minimum speed across the country through simple competition by working to disable municipal programs in the state that do the same. National fast & fair broadband can be easily paid for by removing the tax exempt status of religious organizations.

Just as loving the United States means hating the republican party, saving the United States means thwarting the republicans at every turn. Broadband is just one clear example.

Of course they did

The first "authority" was the mayor, who did say it was a deliberate act. So, the media report repeated what they had been told.

Then updated it with new info when it appeared.

But, Kid, what percentage of cars or trucks plowing into a group would you say have been accidents in the last few years?

And yet, you never make the one Australian here feel welcomed, preferring to belittle his perspective from Down Under.

But then again, you are among the larger hypocrites here.

Meanwhile, no word from you on how your Church brethren want to excommunicate Joe Biden for his having his own views on abortion while continuing to cover up the abuse scandals. Weaponizing the Eucharist is okay, though.
