I am curious if Disney suing will lead to the GOP getting on board with overturning Citizens United. Obviously Disney is not wrong here, but I could see this turning into "businesses can't push their agenda on us, they're not people and can't have beliefs"

I know Biden will likely veto, but ugh.

I don't think CU will get overturned in the courts until SCOTUS changes its makeup a bit. I don't think Disney vs Desantis will be enough to sway how badly they want to fuck up elections and laws with their dirty corporate donations.
Maaaaaaybe it will inspire Congress to make laws about it, which I wouldn't be mad at.

Conflict of interest my butt and this This is some absolute horseshit. So it's not a conflict of interest for them to use their religious values to vote against issues, but this is? Just when I think the hypocrisy can't astound me any further... |

Carolyn Bryant (Emmett Till's false accuser) has died at 88 from cancer.
If there is such a thing as hell, I hope she's there and tormented for all of eternity.

Maybe it should be a conflict of interest for gun owning legislators to vote against gun control laws.

I’m tempted to go give Disney a shitton of money because of this. We are heading to universal in June, but I may do a Disney day just because We leave for our Disney Cruise a month from today - perfect timing!  |

This clip is just jaw droppingly awful, the description in the tweet does not even begin to cover it.

CW This clip is just jaw droppingly awful, the description in the tweet does not even begin to cover it. I cannot tell you how much watching that made my stomach turn. As a parent who dealing with a child suffering from suicidal ideation, listening to this woman so blithely say no, that she wouldn't do anything to prevent her child from dying just takes my breath away. Fuck all of these people. |

Just when I think the hypocrisy can't astound me any further... This is my favorite part of all of this. Especially since some of the lobbyists are related to senators. The school voucher bill introducer’s daughter is a lobbyist for school choice. Then there are senators who’s family business will directly and financially benefit from forced ethanol pump mandates. |

He has to realize that Disney has way more money and lawyers than him by now, right? Is he really so dense to not realize the losing fight he's picking? |

CW This clip is just jaw droppingly awful, the description in the tweet does not even begin to cover it. What a disgusting excuse of a human. I hope her daughter gets far away from her as soon as she can. I gasped when she said she had to think about “wouldn't you do anything for your child to stay alive”. Like the immediate answer should be YES. that poor child |

"I wouldn't let her tear MY family apart"
As though her child weren't part of that family.
Deplorable

That clip took my breath away. How could anyone feel that way about their child? All she talked about was herself and how it affected her. Absolutely monstrous. I hope her child can find peace and get away from her.

They shot at the school again last night. Again, nobody was hurt. But I have all my kids home today. WTAF am I supposed to do with this?
