Meanwhile, MTG is beating the Speaker's gavel to death calling for decorum...

People just make up their own truth and say that you're the one in need of "truth." It's a product of the "alternative facts" era that mainly Trump ushered in and others have picked up. If your facts do no support the preferred agenda, it's just dismissed as "fake news." Easy-peacy.

One interesting thing is that evangelicals always say their values and faith are "under attack" and people despise them.

No, most people have great respect for people of faith and don't despise and attack Christians or any other faith group, but many despise and attack the Republican Party. And the evangelicals have unfortunately managed to tie themselves so hard to the Republican Party that the two have become almost symbiotic. There's a big difference.

One of those proposals: Track the political and religious affiliations of students and faculty the same way race and gender are already tracked.

Lol. Yeah, because political and religious affiliation is typed right there on the forehead, right? Clowns.

And the GOP wonders why they don't resonate with the younger generations...hmmm...

Unfortunately, the guy is the leading contender for the Republican nomination for President. It's important that people (especially independent voters) know about this crap before they consider voting for him.

Is that the actual name of the road? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Here's a recent article about PFAS in drinking water. Very unfortunate.

I personally think Jerboa is a the smoothest experience so far. But I'm planning to jump to Sync when it becomes available.

I'd also expect another big jump when clients like Sync and Boost get their apps for Lemmy online. That will attract an enormous amount of users from reddit.

What about the actors and other staff who don't get paid for their work? Not everyone is a major Hollywood star.

Florida is different because so many older, more conservative retirees move to Florida. And they vote. If it wasn't for that, Florida would probably have been pretty solidly blue at this point.

On the other hand, that has opened up other states for Democrats, e.g. Michigan and Pennsylvania.

The LGBTQ community is being assailed by the GOP at the moment. Literal physical threats. Whatever was left of support for the GOP from that community is quickly dissipating.

I know a lot of people in the LGBTQ community. I have yet to meet someone who would vote for a Republican. But I'll certainly ask about it if I ever meet one.

I joined a writing group here, and one member is an out gay conservative.

I find it unreal that an LGBTQ person would actually even consider the current Republican Party as a viable option.

How anyone who identifies as LGBTQ+ can associate themselves with the current Republican Party is beyond me.

I think more Democrats moving to swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina would be higher priority if people are free to move wherever purely based on political reasons.

This is part of the GOP strategy.

Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri has openly acknowledged that the GOP strategy is to make it so miserable for Democrats in red and purple states that they will move to blue states. That would, in turn, cement Republican power in the White House, Senate and thereby the Supreme Court.
