I have always known that no one has ever moved to Arkansas to have their consciousness raised - but this is embarrassing.

Embarrassing though, indeed.

It's all too sad and embarrassing.

OK, if you're an ally, why aren't you loudly telling my kid she's gonna be OK? Why arent you loudly saying, You know what, Mrs. Shappley, you don't have to move; weve got your back. I want somebody to say something.
I have to side with Shappley here. There's dire need for a stronger federal response. The number of bills popping up in state after state is not going to stop, unfortunately.

You cannot exist with bullies,abusers criminals,bigots and control freaks without being harmed by them.
Let the pigs have thier right wing facist bullshit .
Than we'd be rid of all those stupid fuckers. If they try to invade we destroy them until they stop trying to come to our side. No mercy,no pity,no excuses.
Let them make thier bed and die in it.
