Put into the court record when she didn’t have to say so to fulfill any legal requirement. She just hates her father, one of the richest men in the world, so much that she wanted a permanent legal record of her disowning him.
She could have just waited around until he died and hoped she got some inheritance, but she hates him that much. That shows what an absolute monster of a father he was.
The new guidelines require educators to incorporate the Bible by looking at “only its historical, literary and secular benefits” by noting the Bible’s influence on Western civilization, American history, literature, art and music.
So, that means you can teach about:
• Thomas Jefferson putting together his own version of the New Testament that omits all of the supernatural parts.
• The “slave Bibles” that omitted any verses about freedom from bondage so slaves wouldn’t yearn for it but still be Christians.
• Bible verses that the slavers used to justify slavery.
• Forcibly converting indigenous Americans to Christianity by putting their children in special religious boarding schools.
• The complete failure of the religious-motivated alcohol prohibition movement.
• Catholic priest Father Coughlin going on the radio every week and talking about how Hitler was ordained by God.
Sonya Massey’s tax dollars had contributed to the salary of the officer who killed her. That’s the insanity of being Black in this country.
I found this incredibly moving. I can’t imagine how it feels to be on the wrong side of the birth-lottery (I’m a cis white male in America). It must be maddening.
This, too, is what it means to be Black in America: One Black woman has the chance to win the most powerful position in the world, while at the same time, another Black woman, even at her most vulnerable, wearing her nightclothes and headscarf, is perceived as a threat—and shot to death in her kitchen.
The contrast is so palpable. I feel like I need a drink to put myself to sleep. What an awful world.
That’s for sexual acts. I’m still reading it though, but where does elections come into play?

Also we’re 100 days out. If Elon did this again within 90 days, and he sent the tweet from Texas or something. Would Minnesota or another state law be able to hold him accountable? Since of course the tweet would be seen across the country. I wonder what would happen. The senate is working on a federal law, but I doubt the house will be very cooperative before the election.
He's such a snowflake that all personal contact info has been removed from his website. Even his office has no contact info. Holy fuck they are such goddamn weenies. It's despicable and absurdly hilarious all at the same time.

(The video) claims Harris is a “diversity hire” because she is a woman and a person of color, and it says she doesn’t know “the first thing about running the country.”
I’ve a very political continuous person - volunteer with democratic groups, do poll observing, research local Arizona ballot measures on the local news sites and ballotipedia, etc…
I have not once seen any of these “informational pamphlets” out in the wild. Others said that they get them mailed to them, but I’ve never gotten one. I’ve seen sample ballots - but those don’t have for/against arguments, just the text of the measures. They can call them “sanctified holy pre-people to be saved from the baby meat-grider” and it wouldn’t really mater if no one ever reads it.
