Tuesday, there is a primary here in Johnson County for all 5 Supervisor seats. The reason being, Iowa republicans gerrymandered the county to overturn an election that placed a Bernie Sanders endorsed majority in office. Mandi Remington, V Fixmar-Oraiz, and Jon Green.
@SwipeWright@jk_rowling I know when I file legal claims on the basis of sex I make sure that the person who was discriminated against was discriminated against because they produce eggs. Like everyone knows this is how it works.
A family in Idaho has dropped their lawsuit challenging a state law barring trans students from using the restroom after their 16-year-old transgender daughter died by suicide
@hecubian_devil My biggest concerns, in this order, are 1. who is in charge of it and what uses are therefore being prioritized 2. resource allocation and 3. existential concerns about what will happen when/if we lose control of it
@BrentAWilliams2 This is the reason most people in the US are capitalists in the first place lol. Very few people know how shit actually works. That is not really an interesting or useful analysis, nor an actual rebuttal to anticapitalist philosophies.
@MartinShkreli@RoKhanna You know what would be infinitely better is if you spent your energy exposing people because they do evil things rather than because they personally piss you off.
@KJ_Parker1@LauraRBelin@adamsteen@RandyFeenstra Republican legislators voted for these exclusionary policies. If they'd like to pass something to ensure ESA recipients have to take kids with disabilities or kids with LGBTQ parents, that's a different conversation. As it stands now, though, they are tacitly agreeing with Steen.
Remember: Steen wants to be able to use the tax dollars of LGBTQ people to discriminate against them. He'll happily take your money, but your kid can't go to school with his kids. His worst fear is a child with two moms polluting his safe space.
In a Feenstra administration, even your Christian schools won’t be safe.
Randy, when you say everyone should be welcome into Christian private schools, do you mean the children with two mothers?
What about the mentally ill transgender students?
Students and parents alike would be welcome in a Feenstra administration to not only fight against Christian schools from the outside, but bear false witness on the inside as well.
This is right out of a Rob Sand playbook.
Iowans, this is the red flag waving in the air that we must not ignore. We shouldn’t be able to look from Rob to Randy and not be able to tell the difference.
We must vote for a candidate in June who can lead Iowans against a Rob Sand vision for Iowa, which is apparently now also a Randy Feenstra vision for the future as well.

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.
To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.
The @DMRegister reports a SE Iowa hospital administrator confronted @millermeeks about the devastating impact that her Medicaid cuts will have on rural health care and his hospitals across #IA01
Her jaw-dropping response: well, hospitals were already struggling.
@Pellz_ He's not like homeless, man. He's got enough money to live the rest of his life without the rest of us needing to support him. He's worth $400m. He'll be fine. We just want him to shut up.
@IARepD5@LauraRBelin It's called an internal critique. It evaluates the argument on its own internal standards. One not need adopt such standards to evaluate congruence within them.
