    Colton Gilbert, the debate coach at Central High, said [] “Every day I walk into class and think to myself: is today’s conversation the one that will get me fired?

    Free speech being chilled in real time. JFC.

    Have you ever seen Sanders, Chaya Raichak, and Sidney Powell in the same room? They’re like different age levels of the same chinless, bigot.

    Hatred sucks!

      There’s a Huckabee family photo from years ago - probably around the time Mike Huckabee was helping campaign for one of her early elections, but I’m not 100% about that.

      In the photo most of Huckabees were wearing some variant of a striped shirt, and I remember thinking it looked like a cluster of circus tents.

      I have to go find that pic to make sure it wasn’t a fever dream.

    This is pretty foul, but in line with conservatives wanting to control education and retcon history. Who controls the past, controls the present. And who controls the present, controls the future

        I’m pretty sure I saw that quote in 1984. Which is becoming less of a dystopian novel and more of a description of present times.

        A book is a stack of rectangular sheets of processed plants printed with text, all held together on one side.

      Trans person in sports: “The woke are ruining sports.

      School subject focused on Black Studies: “Woke schools are ruining education.

        One of the best parts of leaving reddit is how much less I see frightened bigots screeching about “white genocide” over a black person appearing in an advertisement.

        Nah, we shouldn’t block them. When we do, they can continue to troll unnoticed and scare away new users. When we don’t, we can call their bullshit every time they comment.

          Exactly. Reply to this shit. Not because it’ll convince them to change their ways, but because it’ll show others that we care. It’s like picking up trash.
