Seems Rick Scott envies the Taliban, and hopes to recreate their style in America… politico.com/news/2022/02/2…
One wonders if Medicare fraud will be outlined in @SenRickScott’s American Gilead? Oh right… Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare will be eradicated as “socialism.” So there will be nothing for companies like his old one to defraud.
To really experience how bonkers this is, you have to read it in its proper manifesto form… not as cleaned up in an article… Image

So many people really don’t want to acknowledge how commonplace this kind of thinking is in America, because it disrupts the heroic vision that’s been carefully cultivated, including in the educational setting. But trust me: the Black people you know, KNOW this is out there.
This was the rude awakening my mother got when she came here in the 1960s. My godmother has STORIES about what she and my mom saw and dealt with, even as “foreign” Blacks who could avoid SOME of the racist BS even in New York. But they were expected to know they were still n—ers.
My mother passed in 1983 in “modern” America. And though by then she was a citizen, she had no illusions about how a whole lot of white folks felt about our presence here. She was proud and determined and loved so much about this country but was very clear-eyed about America.

So the conservative argument in 2018 was: don’t stop teaching white-authored classics just because the n-word is used in them! Children of all races need these uncomfortable lessons! Now they argue that any book that might make white kids feel angst must be banned.
So Black kids need to accept hearing the n-word read in English class, because they shouldn’t let “feelings” get in the way of exposure to great literature; but white kids shouldn’t ever have to hear that any white person at any time ever used the n-word in hostility or racism.
How is this not a blatant argument for using public education to build up the egos of white children while chipping away at the psyches of every other child, by normalizing hearing slurs against them but shielding white kids from all history that might bring any discomfort?

This weird thing has happened in the world during the pandemic: people of the far right (including governors and judges all the way up to SCOTUS) and even non-right wingers, have developed a philosophy that amounts to granting the coronavirus a “right” to proliferate and spread…
such that ANY attempt by government to impede the natural proliferation of this virus: whether by mandating masks or proof of vaccination or even testing, is viewed as a fundamental violation of human rights and civil liberties. I mean this seems to be the SCOTUS majority view…
And it definitely seems to be the view of Republican governors; that NO governmental or even private action may be taken to stop the coronavirus from spreading; that it MUST be allowed to spread “naturally,” and that the only allowable course is treating the resulting illness.

Dixiecrats then: you can vote! You just have to tell us how many bubbles are in a bar of soap.

Republicans now: you can vote! You just have to fill out this form & send your ID. Oh the form we’re sending you doesn’t have an ID line on it and it’s illegal to send you a new one🤷🏾‍♀️
Ok just go stand on that long line. Sorry, there’s only one or two machines in your massive urban area even though we put 20 in our all white rural towns and you can’t use a drop box like the rural folk can🤷🏾‍♀️ Oh and no one can give you water while you wait. That’s illegal now🤷🏾‍♀️
Oh, and don’t mind that poll watcher standing over you. He’s just watching you because you’re Black or Hispanic. He’s totally judging you by the content of your character though, just like Dr King said in that one speech we misquote on MLK Day every year.🤷🏾‍♀️

Listening to the hypocrite Dixiecrat @LeaderMcConnell on his high horse scolding Democrats for trying to stop state Republicans from all-but barring mail-in balloting and legislating intimidating or even arresting voters they don’t like & flipping election outcomes is sickening.
Mitch giddily “broke” the Senate to pack the Supreme Court with his far right ideological allies. He walks around wearing an invisible Superman cape, claiming to be for voting rights and faking outrage over Bull Connor comparisons while grinning in front of a confederate flag.
He moans about Biden’s words being divisive while continuing to excuse the most vile president in U.S. history declaring fellow Americans to be enemies of the people and fomenting a literal insurrection. Perhaps Mitch hopes to benefit from the next attempted coup.
