What of the 1st amendment? It's a slippery slope and a dangerous path when a few determine what's right for the many. Some would call it a dicatorship, not a Democracy. Didn't Trump used to do this at some of his rallies?
If you break decorum and act like hooligans, you must accept the consequences of such behavior. You cant have two sets of rules -- hooliganism deemed criminal for one side, but hooliganism deemed a defiant and brave stance against injustice for another. Nothing matters but balls and strikes and a consistent strike zone.
Tennessee is just one example of the Evil Fascist GQP's Attempts to subvert and destroy democracy by silencing opponents, suppressing votes, gerrymandering, using hot button issues like guns, abortion and fake fears about drag queens, to rile up their gullible, low IQ cult members. They twist the truth, and original intent of the "Founding fathers" (ex: they severely twisted the 2nd amendment and forget the half that says "well regulated militia" ) in order to keep power, influence & bribe money from the Billionaires & Corporations. They dont care if the planet is being destroyed, unnecessary wars fought, or people die from botched back alley abortions, lack of healthcare, education & food, As long as their bank acct balances increase.....everyone should boycott Tennessee, Texas & FLorida, & other red states, the main epicenters of the GQP's pogroms to install a white supremacist (fake) "christian" Theocratic Dictatorship in America, and any corporation that supports them #voteBlue2024
If only our 'leaders' could STOP, take a breath and think about how their actions will look and be judged 100 years from now... Would the heat of the moment with all its indignation and self-righteousness stand the test of time? I think not but in a world driven by tweets and the drive for instant notoriety and publicity... we have what we have... so-called adults acting like children.
Left leaning Snopes acknowledges the key point is to define Children by age. Since 18+ are adults they cannot be included unless you are selling your point to ppl who won't question declarations.
The latest available data pertinent to this claim covers 2020 and 2021. As of this writing, there is no data available for 2022 and 2023.
The claim that guns were the leading cause of death for U.S. children in 2020 and 2021 is true only if the selected age range is 1-19 years old. This range excludes infants under one year old, who have a unique risk of age-specific causes of death.
Similarly, capping the age range at 17, instead of 18 or 19, also alters the result, as children aged 17 and under have a greater risk of dying of vehicle-related injuries.
So now that you know the Truth will you outlaw children riding in cars?
Once again Democrats prove that Democrats habitually project their own actions upon others.
BLM riots, Kavanaugh insurrections lasting an entire week, phony 1/6 hearings, threats to Supreme Court Justices, and now taking over State legislatures with violent outbursts. All Democrat insurrections interfering with the rule of law.
All for the sake of trying to silence people who have a right to speak....it will not work. It didn't work for the silence of MLK nor did it work for the silence of Nelson Mandela. Offer support everyday to persons trying to speak out against gun violence. It would be nice if they (Republicans) would expend this energy into something worthwhile like protecting kids going to school & staying safe while there learning without the fear of being killed.
This comment is related to Texas the use of a ruling by a southern state to make rules for the rest of the country. This is the only place I can share it From 4/20/23 New York Review of Books page 50 by Manisha Sinha paragraph 3 , “The Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 activated a clause of the Constitution that required any “person held to service” to be remanded back to their owners---extending southern laws of slavery into northern free states. ------- I feel the use of the FDA’s approval process as a means to ban abortion across our entire country parallels a tool the Southern States used. I hadn’t been able to grasp how one state could disrupt all of our lives until I read this paragraph. So much hatred and contempt for people to live free lives
These relics of the past are doing everything within their power to prevent or hinder the progress that is taking place within our society. I believe that we can fight them by supporting and voting overwhelmingly for progressives that share our values. I value honesty, equality, education, compassion, kindness, fairness, intelligence, reason, acceptance, non-violence, and healthcare for all.
Stand tall, young men of color; let the world see you and hear your eloquent replies to the vitriol. Stand tall in the face of so much anti-democratic behavior in the Tennessee legislature. To expel the two with melanated skin but not the other lacking melanin is ridiculously obvious in its intent. It is good trouble that you stir in your state, young men of color. There is much that the people of your state can learn from you. Teach them, lead them.
This is all about fear. White people, especially men, feel they will not be in the majority. I am white and I hope to see the day their fear is a reality.
“ They are the villains in our history books.” I can only ask for how long, before the whitewashing governors succeed in purging this hideous aspect of American history (and of the present)
When did a deviant lust fetish become a foundation stone for leftist ideological persuasion? How did we get to the utterly anti-scientific suggestion that gender is fluid, that a woman is not defined as an adult human female, that men with male genitalia can menstruate or displace actual women in acknowledgments and competitions? The 'left' is going down a path with profound societal negatives that might never be reversed when it becomes so apparent that this is an enormous and harmful delusion.
My concern is that somehow in this time of censorship and rewriting of history books that the specter of "1984" will change the narrative, and erase the memory of the progress we have made to date toward achieving a true equality of opportunity for all, in the retelling of events. What I observe is that "He who wins spins, and he who spins wins." It has been so hard to feel helpless watching bullies gain purchase on such baseless claims.

It's crystal clear who the insurrectionists are.

Thank you, my old pal! These are probably the most important words you’ve ever uttered-at least in this 80 year old white woman!
Thank you for speaking from MY heart!
Thank you or expressing it so well and as I wish I could have done myself. It is scary where we are today.
