    I’d really love it if I could follow these fucking screenshot posts without having to know about 38 other things. None of this makes any sense without severe explanation.

    Same thing happened in Alberta this past year or so after they banned books that often get banned in the christofascist run places.

    So the school board made a list of all the books that’d be banned in the upcoming school season and the government was like we didn’t mean THOSE books. The schools are just stirring shit up.

      He’s pretty much straight up saying “You know we wouldn’t enforce it on THAT one. We wrote it for Queers and Minorities, not St. Patrick’s Day.”

      Basically Irish = White, therefore Not DEI.

    technically isn’t celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas DEI?

    The bill also requires the potential recipients of a county or municipal contract or grant to certify that they do not and will not use local government funds to require employees, contractors, volunteers, vendors, or agents to ascribe to, study, or be instructed using materials related to DEI.

    yep! no more Christmas trees in town, or decorations, or Thanksgiving day parades, or anything having related to or connected with DEI.

    Next, they’ll be asking: why don’t we get any tourists anymore?

    The idiots they are appeasing with their anti-DEI stance do not make the best tourist material, as many of them have ever left the 30 mile radius around their farm…

    Like let’s say it isn’t malicious compliance just for the sake of argument. They wrote a law that pretty much says if they even suspect dei they can rain hellfire down. What did they expect? Is every small city supposed to guess at is this dei or not? Just see what a judge says? Of course they aren’t, it’s much safer to cancel

      Not to mention by their own definitions DEI favors Republicans. They are the least qualified and get all the handouts after all…

    Whenever the pride parade is happening here, I leave the city, not because I hate the politics or message, but because I dislike crowds.

    My point is that you can just not be in the city when events you dislike takes place there.

    Go for a hike in the woods, head to the airport and do some planespotting, take a trip to a neighbouring town and explore, buy a camera and go take artistic photos outside of the city, go canoeing in a local river, do something else, but don’t ruin other people’s day just because you can’t accept that love can take a lot of different forms.

    When I lived in Louisiana, they had a St. Pattricks Day parade. Along with green beads they also threw heads of cabbage and potatoes. I liked the people of Louisiana far better than those I met in Texas. The place is so racist, it doesn’t discriminate.

      He’s out come January. We got another Republican unfortunately, but he can’t possibly be as evil as DeSantis.

            “In the running”, definitionally, means that there’s a chance he could win. Do you not think there’s a chance he could win?

              My comment is a bit tongue in cheek, but no, I don’t think DeSantis has much of any chance to win the presidency. IMO he doesn’t have anywhere near the charisma necessary to fill the power vacuum that Trump’s gonna leave.

                I don’t think anyone who currently stands out as a potential GOP candidate has the charisma to fill Trump’s vacuum, and in that sense, I do think that DeSantis does pose a bit of a threat. I’m not confident enough to definitively say that I think he WILL be the GOP nominee, but I think folks need to keep an eye on him.

              No chance for that man. Aside from his Florida baggage, he can’t possibly win on the national stage.

                Back in 2024, he shook up the primary race quite a bit. If Trump hadn’t been a candidate, DeSantis would have clinched the GOP nomination.
