I think the thing that cut him to the core was that his own “friend” was the one who motioned to end debate, knowing that there wasn’t a damn thing the Dems could do to stop the bill in the first place.

I especially love the way he was completely oblivious to the irony in this statement:

“And that’s the question it has to be: Are we now in a situation in our government that we just provided keeping government open, that we’re going to play politics with how you become Speaker? If that’s the case, then I think we got real problems,” he continued.

About freaking time.

If anyone ever wondered what structural racism looks like, this constant attempt to keep black folks’ history from even being dispassionately discussed, is a prime example.

Got caught slippin’ in 4K.

So…maybe don’t show them? Particularly when they have nothing to do with your so-called investigation? Like how simple of a decision is that?

Good luck with that. There’s a very strong argument to be made that the so-called pro-life movement is thinly-veiled white supremacy with its roots in Brown v. Board of Education.

Apologies if that comes off as excessively bitter.

Sidestepping the fetal personhood argument for the moment, the fact is that no one has a right to your body but you. You cannot be coerced to donate an organ, so it stands to reason that you also cannot be coerced to carry an unwanted pregnancy.

Missouri proved no such thing.

Meanwhile, last October, MOHELA admitted in a letter to Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) that its executives “were not involved with the decision of the Missouri Attorney General’s Office to file for the preliminary injunction in federal court.” The Missouri attorney general had to obtain documents from MOHELA through state sunshine law requests in order to use them in the lawsuit. As I wrote last month, if this is successful, “the Supreme Court would be allowing the plaintiffs to win their case thanks to an unwilling conspirator.”

The internal documents from MOHELA reinforce this. They were obtained through those same state sunshine laws by the Student Borrower Protection Center.

Lemmy is blocked at my work, so there’s that. But I do like what I see here!
