I’ve lived in both the south, and in CA. There are wonderful people both places, and a lot of fake people. The amount of casual racism, bigotry, and hate has been much higher in the south. And it’s made it really hard to stomach their ‘hospitality’.

Unfortunately, a lot of southern hospitality is just superficial. It’s frequently a veneer of hospitality over a lot of judgment and hate.
I’ll take cold honesty over fake friendliness.
All of the major media and communication platforms are owned by the oligarchs that have already kissed the ring. So you either target a much smaller number of people, or you use less than ideal means to communicate with the masses.
I do think that people in her position need to start advocating for a movement away from traditional social media, and towards things like the fediverse. Who even knows if she is aware of the alternatives. They aren’t well known.
Organization starts with getting a message out and gaining support. This is a start, and I’ll hope for the follow through since options are running short.
If they don’t comply, everyone involved gets purged from the DOJ. Then those most capable of supporting and providing information to their coworkers will no longer be there at all. If they comply, they can still support those around them. Though it is admittedly more difficult without the work sponsored organization.
There will probably be other efforts to purge LGBT people from government, but they don’t have to hand them a reason to fire them by refusing to comply with the EO.
You may be right that it is cowardice, but I think that is unlikely. Judging by what I’ve seen at other government organizations, the employee resource groups end, but those most involved have given contact information out to fellow employees to get support and assistance outside of work. And that isn’t regulated, so it’s not breaking any of the rules.
The one advantage to getting fired over something like that, is it would provide standing to challenge it in court. I’m sure that will happen somewhere though.
I really wanna know where you got that outfit 😜
I guess I’d just prefer to give the award to people who are actually at fault. Like Judge Aileen Cannon. She actively worked to make sure justice didn’t happen, and that there were no consequences for all of the blatant crimes.
And how does that make him a bag of shit? He did what was in his power to do. He pursued the case for as long as he could. The DOJ decided to no longer pursue the case. So he pushed to have his report released. The lack of results doesn’t fall on him.
And honestly, Mueller gets a lot of flack, but he very clearly laid out the evidence from the investigation. He didn’t have the authority to pursue charges of any kind. That would have required AG Barr and the DOJ to press charges.
So there may be a lot of shit, but people seem to really misunderstand how that system works. Or willfully misrepresent how it functions. Or doesn’t function.
What did you want or expect him to do?
I am one of those people that would love a better battery, and also that is going to buy a pixel as my next phone instead of an iPhone. If they hadn’t forced AI garbage into the phone, I wouldn’t be planning the change. I know the new pixels also have AI garbage, but they have the advantage of allowing me to wipe the OS completely to install something less maliciously intrusive.
If Harris wins, expect Democrats to move right
It is definitely on Tidal. I can shoot the link if you want it.
