Talk given by Sally Jane Black of the Louisiana Women’s Action Committee at the Oct. 7 National March to Protect Trans Youth and Speakout for Trans Lives in Orlando, Florida.

I have lived my entire life here in the South, part of the country so many people have abandoned and written off. But I am standing right here in Florida, seeing all of you marching with us, and I am inspired.

I am honored and inspired to be here in solidarity with you. I am honored and inspired to stand with those of you who are right here on the frontlines of the fightback against fascism here in Florida and the Ron DeSantis regime. Y’all are standing up against DeSantis and against the billionaire backers who pull his strings.

Democrats' anger boils over after GOP witnesses testify without taking questions

Democratic lawmakers didn’t hold back their anger Thursday at a House hearing about social media and censorship when a pair of Republican witnesses delivered testimony and left without being questioned.

The shouting began after Sen. Eric Schmitt (R), the former attorney general of Missouri, and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry (R) testified before the House Judiciary select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government about what they claimed was the Biden administration’s effort to censor conservative voices online. After the two spoke, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the subcommittee chairman, dismissed them.

“We’ll let you move on to your other responsibilities and we’ll get to our next witnesses,” Jordan said. Democrats immediately interrupted, asking why he wouldn’t allow them to ask questions as Schmitt and Landry stood up and left the room. Democrats then tried to have the two witnesses’ testimony struck from the record.

“We aren’t able to probe the veracity of their statements, the truthfulness of their statements,” Rep. Stephen F. Lynch (D-Mass.) said. When Jordan told him, “You will be given your five minutes here,” Lynch replied, “They’re not here,” referring to the witnesses. “They’re absent,” he said, and they “scurried away, with your complicity.”

Jordan, speaking over Lynch, said: “They have not scurried away. They were dismissed like all witnesses.” As the two men traded remarks, Lynch fumed: “You can’t find two people to defend their statements. That’s pretty disgraceful.”

At times, the shouts and crosstalk was so fast that the C-SPAN camera recording the hearing could not show each person who was talking. At one point, a woman’s voice could be heard saying, “If allowing them to leave is not weaponization, I don’t know what is, Mr. Chairman.” A male’s voice responded, “Yeah, right.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) agreed to the creation of the select subcommittee as a concession to the hard-right faction of his conference in the deal he struck to secure the votes to become Speaker. The panel has faced criticism, even from some on the right, that its work has been lackluster and unfocused.

Jordan said at the hearing that it was common practice to have current or former members of Congress testify without staying for questions.

Russell Dye, his spokesman, said in a statement, “It has been a long practice of the Committee to allow current and former Members of Congress to present an opening statement without taking questions,” noting that Democrats recently had Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.) speak to the committee without taking questions.

Democrats said the comparison was inappropriate. Lynch said that the witnesses on Thursday may have presented “false” information and that “I would like the opportunity to cross-examine those witnesses.” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said Landry is not a member of Congress and, therefore, “is not entitled” to the kind of courtesy Jordan described.

Even by today’s low standards for congressional decorum, the hearing stood out for its rancor and animus. Kyle Herrig, executive director of the Congressional Integrity Project, a Democratic-leaning watchdog group, said in a statement that the hearing was “an embarrassing farce. Two of the Republicans’ witnesses didn’t even stick around to defend their lies, aided and abetted by Jim Jordan.” Jordan and the Republicans on the subcommittee, Herrig said, “are afraid of the truth.”

Dye said Democrats had put “on a partisan charade” in response to a routine congressional practice.

Book Bans Spreading Fast

Book Bans Spread to Iowa

Book bans are not about protecting children, but about silencing LGBT voices and controlling what is allowed to be taught to children. Authorities in Iowa are pushing for a broad crackdown on what books are allowed to be kept in school libraries. Republican Governor Kim Reynolds is backing a bill that would require every school district in the state to remove a book if it’s challenged in any one…

Good news. The local paper has people looking through the responses

For people not in the know, this is from Nutmeg's post about Louisiana's Attorney General asking for books they thought should be banned in libraries to "protect minors." I sent it through to my old D&D group's Discord.

We did it Reddit.

Bonus reaction from the friend that caused the tweet.

#ask #by quinn #Jeff Landry #lol thank you so much for the update #I was away from my computer the whole day #but I lost my mind seeing the tweet #I hope the Bee Movie changes the microcosm of local Louisiana news for a while

By Gregory E. Williams

As Landry and the Republican supermajority in the state unleash attacks on all sections of the working class and the oppressed, we will have opportunities to reach workers.

By putting these struggles in the national spotlight, we will not only expose Landry and hopefully make it harder for him to operate, but we can embolden workers and the political movement in other states, especially in the South.

Louisiana’s new governor intends to cancel state’s open primaries

Louisiana’s new governor, Jeff Landry, is seeking to abolish the unique primary system to change the way politicians are chosen in the state, Politico reports.

The state’s current election system puts candidates running for state and congressional offices on the same ballot. The “primaries” are usually held either in October for odd-numbered years or November for even-numbered years.

If a candidate gets a majority, he or she gets the office. If a nominee doesn’t get enough votes, the top two go to a Saturday runoff about a month later.

This system has been used statewide for decades in both state and congressional races, except for a brief recess in 2008. It is not used for presidential primaries or general elections.
