The guy on the left was convicted of selling missiles illegally to Iran.
The guy on the right says Iran shouldn’t have missiles.

A watchdog nonprofit seeking to protect the separation of church and state is demanding the Bible be banned from a Florida school district after the superintendent banned five other books due to “sexually explicit content.”
Christopher Line, a staff attorney for the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), sent an email to Leon County Schools superintendent Rocky Hanna requesting that “the District either ban the bible based on the criterion of ‘sexually explicit content’ it has used to ban these books, or cease banning books and return the banned books to school shelves.”
The five banned books were removed from Leon County high school libraries after Hanna personally reviewed them and, as reported by the Tallahassee Democrat, decided they were “black-and-white, cut-and-dray, need-to-be removed.” There was no formal hearing. The books: Dead End by Jason Myer; Me, Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews; Lucky by Alice Sebold; Doomed by Chuck Palahniuk; and Push by Sapphire.
“The District cannot ban books because it disagrees with the viewpoint expressed while allowing other sexually explicit books, like The Bible, because it supports their viewpoint,” Line wrote. “In The Bible, rape is not only described, but the victims are forced to marry their rapists.” He went on to describe moments in The Bible that talk about sex toys, prostitutes, incest, bestiality, homosexuality, and nudity.
Line said the organization has published a brochure called An X-Rated Book: Sex & Obscenity In the Bible that is available for free on FFRF’s website.
The email also emphasized that banning The Bible would not be religious discrimination. “It is important to note that the removal of the bible would not constitute hostility toward Christianity or religion. The District must hold religious texts to the same standards it holds all other library books, review them, and, if they contain the same sexually explicit content as The Bible, must also remove them under the District’s pattern and practice. Removing The Bible for its obscenity or graphic sexual content based on neutral criteria is not religious discrimination.”
It also acknowledged that the best solution would be to leave the other books on the shelves and “trust students to explore complex topics themselves.”
The books were removed from Leon County high schools at the request of anti-LGBTQ+ hate group Moms for Liberty with help from a 2022 law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) that says parents can contest academic materials and requires books made available through school and classroom libraries be selected by a certified media specialist.
Priscilla West, chair of the county’s Moms for Liberty chapter, told the Tallahassee Democrat the request from FFRF is not a surprise to the group.
“Those who would prematurely sexualize other people’s children in schools, also do not want children exposed to The Bible. I don’t foresee LCS Board members taking a stand to remove The Bible from school libraries, but even if they did, would it make any difference in the children’s daily educational experience? Happily, in this country The Bible would still be widely available outside of schools to all who choose to enrich themselves with its wisdom.”
Leon County has been making headlines all month for its conservative parents’ efforts to ban books.
Today, the school board will hold a book challenge hearing over I Am Billie Jean King, a children’s biography of the out tennis legend, after a parent filed a complaint objecting to its LGBTQ+ content.
In her formal complaint, filed on April 25 to Leon County Schools, Katie Leon — a parent of a child who attended Hawks Rise Elementary School in Tallahassee, Florida — wrote that she objects “to material that discusses being gay and what it means to be gay” and that she did not think the material was “suitable for elementary students.”
Leon took issue with a single page of the 40-page illustrated book, which describes King realizing she was gay. “Being gay means that if you’re a girl, you love and have romantic feelings for other girls — and if you’re a boy, you love and have romantic feelings for other boys,” the page reads in part.
Leon believes this violates Florida’s Don’t Say Gay law. But at a meeting earlier this month, Leon County Schools assistant superintendent of academic services Shane Syfrett noted that the Florida Department of Education issued a clarification to the Parental Rights in Education Act, stating that “incidental references in literature to gay and transgender persons are not prohibited.”

something I think is actually hilarious is that if you go left enough you start having more stances in common with (individual) conservatives, and if you go right enough you start agreeing with (individual) leftists. like i have a pretty close friend who's self described as "just far enough right that I hate politicians" , whom I hard disagree with his overarching political stances. but the finer details of it... yeah we agree with each other. gun control/gun rights opinions taxation opinions pro-small government opinions slight separatist opinions anti two party opinions anti-corporation opinion ect ect ect.
we stand on opposite sides of a standard political compass but I genuinely think if I were to count stats, I'd agree with as many of his stances as I would a liberals/democrats stances. my hs gov teacher described the difference in right vs left to us as "everyone's goal here is the betterment of mankind, they just think the best ways to do it are different" and that's literally the best way, to me, to describe what the difference in right vs left is regarding anarchism specifically. we got ESSENTIALLY the same opinion but the ways we think are the best ways to go about enacting said opinion are what makes us different. and something abt that is really painfully funny to me. envisioning a world where an-something is the major world thing, not capitalism.... and there's STILL right vs left... but The Anarchist Versions. christ.
sorry for the book i wrote in the tags. ignore typos I am NOT retyping any of that to fix them xoxo
#this is a controversial post to post here ik. however i think can we all agree that echo chambers and bubbles aren't... good.#and i think something that gets forgotten a lot by leftists is that there ARE anarchists on the right#yes we are EXTREMELY different but its important to like. remember that should The revolution come in our lifetimes their still gonna exist#and political disagreement on an individual scale CAN and SHOULD be civil so long as neither party is coming from a bigoted stance.#as in.. no i dont agree with a good chuck of what his stances but by disagree i just think hes wrong abt economics bros not like. a bigot.#in this same vain i also think (myself included) people shouldn't conflate conservativism with racists and homophobes. t#theres proud gay conservatives and conservatives who are poc... erasing those people means we cannot know of how the other side works.#i genuinely believe that if i were to go read every political theory book on right leaning politics id fine something uniquely republican#/right/whatever that i would agree with and then adapt into my own politics. im sure at least one of the unique-to-the-right stances has#actually standing and isn't a load of shit (again probably something economic rather than social).#and thats not a bad thing and if you think it is a actually don't know how to explain it to you! we MUST critically but civilly interact#with political opinions mirroring our own to 1 understand other people 2 fully understand and develope our own stances and why we have em#i genuinely find political conversations with that friend extremely enlightening even if we both walk away still set in unchanged opinions.#because it means i understand WHY others drift to those options but more importantly why /i/ drifted to my own

How do we not know about these things until after the fact. The Republicans are light years ahead of us in organization, messaging, opposition research, etc.
It’s not enough just to defeat Trump. We need to take back the Senate, the House of Representatives, clear the fascists from the SCOTUS, and take back the state legislatures.
This is a war and we can not be divided. We must stick together and defeat this Republican scourge begore they take away the right to vote and protest.
Your very existence depends on voting and defeating every Republican candidate on the 2024 ballot.

Papers Please…
If enacted, this legislation would place Florida among the most oppressive regimes against transgender individuals worldwide.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – In one of the most extreme bills of the last decade targeting transgender individuals, a new bill introduced on Thursday afternoon in Florida seeks to end all legal recognition of transgender people and mandates mass biological sex affidavits for both transgender and cisgender Floridians.
These affidavits would be necessary at the DMV for license renewals, enabling the state to gather records of the biological sex of all individuals in Florida who apply for driver’s licenses. The affidavits could allow the state to compile lists of transgender people with Florida driver’s licenses.
They could then be used to enforce other anti-trans laws in the state. Additionally, the bill would impact every law in Florida that references sex, effectively removing all legal recognition of transgender people in the state.

So Ralph is saying he had no idea Shoeless Nathan is a Nazi. For a politician, Zippy doesn’t seem to pay attention to the news. #notbuyingitRalph. Incidentally, anyone who grabs that Thor’s hammer from shoeless Nathan will be rewarded. Fash don’t get to scum up asatrau symbols with their hate slime.
