While everyone is paying attention to Cohen's testimony in Trump's trial, this is also happening.

We had a bond referendum yesterday for some school maintenance/facility improvement things. Given the general comments on social media, defacing of signs in favor of passage, and the general GQP attitude of not funding anything I figured it was doomed to failure.
I was super surprised to wake up this morning and see it passed with a greater than 70% vote in favor. Maybe there is hope for my incredibly red corner of the universe after all.

I'm also feeling good about Angela Alsobrooks' win in Maryland. Polls had her losing by 8% but she actually won by 10%! Seems like polls are crazy inaccurate these days (which we know, but also somehow keep using them to guage things...). She'll be up against Hogan for Senate in November and I'm really hoping she can pull it off.

Also I think Dems do better when "scared". Complacency leads to not bothering to vote. When people turn out Dems win. And it's time we show the GQP that their party has no future so we can actually get a functioning one back.

Rage. All I have left is rage. But also like, almost no one is going to click a link presented without context like this.

apparently one lane is already reopened. I would imagine the environment impact is huge though from that spill.

So, like, someone getting chemotherapy who would wear a mask in public even pre-covid would be arrested? That is fucking insane, all of it.

I thought 'they' would stop at making it illegal to have a mask mandate. Guess I was wrong

Also, the "exceptions" are pretty specifically worded to make sure that all those fucking marching nazis will legally be allowed to keep wearing them.
ETA: that bill also negates their snotty "My body, my choice" bullshit they were spouting about not wearing them during mandates.

I have to assume that will get challenged.

Welp, between the masking BS and the mpox business, I think I'm going to Homer Simpson myself right on out of this thread and try again next week.

Wait ponyhairs , before you go, some good news. I wish there were dispensaries closer to my house. All of the ones around here are like 15 miles away and in OC traffic that can be 30+ minutes and it's just too much of a hassle (and I'm also too cheap to pay for delivery with all of the additional fees and tip, etc.). Won't someone think of the lazy people.
