As we are now in the 4th year of the special military operation by #Russia against #NaziUkraine, it's important to understand how this all began. The foundation was 1st laid as early as 1991 w/ the collapse of the #SovietUnion & the decision of the #US to expand #NATO.

“Violence isn’t the answer” = let them do violence against you without fighting back which makes some kind of a statement about how much better you are as a person

No.

Scare them back until they fucking stop.

I’ve been saying for the last 10 years that the republican “we are half the country“ line is BS. They’re a bunch of monkeys with pots and pans trying to sound bigger than they are.

The 77 million that voted for Trump (some were not Magats) is 1/3 of the electorate, and 1/5 of the US population.

9. The data out of MMCPS makes one thing unmistakably clear: this crusade is not a mass movement. It’s the obsession of a vanishingly small minority, inflated by a Republican Party that has turned resentment of diversity—and especially of LGBTQ+ people—into the centerpiece of its politics.

8. Anti-LGBTQ+ school policies remain among the most unpopular pushed by Republicans in red states and by the Trump administration. A Navigator Research poll published in August 2023 found that fewer than 25 percent of Democrats and independents—and only half of Republicans—agreed with them.
New Poll Shows Massive Backlash To Anti-LGBTQ School Policies
Republican anti-LGBTQ+ policies in schools are not popular. Now, a new Navigator Research Poll shows that book bans, school sports policies, and Don't Say Gay bills are wildly unpopular.

7. Meanwhile, Republican states have taken a heavy handed approach. 19 now have Don't Say Gay or Trans laws barring instruction at all, and in Texas, many professors are being told they can't even acknowledge that transgender people exist.

6. Children opted out will be given alternate assignments when LGBTQ+ topics arise. The arrangement underscores a point the school district made during the court fight: creating entirely new materials for such a vanishingly small group is disruptive to classrooms and burdens teachers.

5. The opt outs happened Uncle Bobby’s Wedding, about the marriage of two gay men; Intersectional Allies: We Make Room for All, which features a genderfluid character; and Planting the Rainbow: Places of LGBTQ+ History in Maryland, which teaches about key moments in the state’s queer history.

3. The case, Mahmoud v. Taylor, originated in Maryland’s Montgomery County School District—the state’s largest—which had previously required lessons on LGBTQ+ inclusion without permitting opt-outs. The ruling was celebrated by far-right activists as a major victory in a deep-blue state.

2. In June 2025, SCOTUS issued a landmark ruling allowing parents to opt out of classes that teach material conflicting with their religious beliefs. The decision, which could affect everything from evolution to diversity, was driven primarily by challenges over about LGBTQ+ education.
SCOTUS: Parents can opt kids out of classes with LGBTQ book characters
At issue was whether school systems are required to provide parents with an "opt-out" option when parents claim their religious beliefs conflict with their children's course material.

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.
