Just so we’re all clear, critical race theory isn’t taught in elementary school but active shooter drills are.
Your elementary school kid didn’t come home crying because he was taught CRT, but I would believe it if you said he came home crying because he had to participate in an active shooter drill.
I guess in a way, active shooter drills are CRT considering almost all school shooters are white males.
(whispers) Teaching kids about race is actually just teaching kids about history accurately.

You don’t get to denounce mask and vaccine mandates by comparing them to the Holocaust and in the same breath say that we should teach kids that the Holocaust wasn’t so bad.
You also don’t get to wave Nazi flags to support your insurrection and in the same breath say Nazis were bad.
It’s as if each of them has a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other shoulder and they’re both wearing Nazi uniforms.

“It’s All Hallows’ EVE, not All Hallows’ STEVE!”
The War on Halloween began on October 31st, 1993 when the Sanderson Sisters were resurrected by a virgin in Salem who lit the Black Flame Candle.
Halloween, a holiday with pagan roots on which children dress up like witches and devils, is apparently very sacred to evangelicals and must be preserved.

Laura Loomer: I hope I get COVID.

COVID: Ok, Loomer.
ICYMI
Don’t worry about COVID. If it survived Stephen Miller, Laura Loomer should be a piece of cake.

Best characters in Marvel movies who weren’t the main star. A thread.
Kicking it off with my favorite. Hela (Thor: Ragnarok)

She’s the goddess of death which is more metal than all of Daenerys Targaryen’s titles combined. She makes an entrance by impaling a bunch of warriors and looks hot doing it.
Tied with Valkyrie (Thor: Ragnarok)

She takes no shit from anyone, isn’t impressed by Thor’s handsomeness, and I mean, come on.

“Jokes about Barron Trump are off limits! He’s just a child!” say the people who were fine with calling Obama’s children racial slurs.
Jokes about Barron Trump: He’s tall! I hope he doesn’t wind up like his dad!

Jokes about the Obama girls: I won’t repeat them because most of them contain rape threats or the n-word.
Isn’t it interesting how Black children are full grown adults but white children (and white adults) are just children?
