Well…if you thought that the repubs could get any worse with voter suppression, man, you were wrong. Just yesterday, the repub dominated legislature and the governor, Brian Kemp, signed into law a bill that would make the architects of the old Jim Crow voter suppression laws green with envy…after minorities and suburban whites came out and voted en masse to elect two dems to the senate powered by mail in voting, the repubs couldn’t have any of that so the bill signed into law does away with all of the legal methods that the dems used to make themselves heard…and these assholes even made it illegal for people to bring food and water to people who are waiting in line for hours to vote due to the previous voter suppression tactics that the repubs installed but the dems worked their butts off to still exercise their right to vote. Now imagine that…their fellow Georgian citizens working their butts off to figure out how to navigate the previous maze of voter suppression and cast their legal votes now have to stand in the hot sun without the relief that a bottle of water or a snack would bring just because these white racists don’t have anything to offer to any Georgian so they need to make sure they can’t vote or they will lose the white supremicist domination of the state. So now, we must boycott any business that is based in Georgia to make sure that these businesses, who invariably donate to repubs, pay for this support of the revival of Jim Crow that discriminates against those who don’t vote for repubs…I’m going to start with any product that is produced by the Coca Cola company and I will not buy another thing from Home
Depot until they put pressure on these repubs to repeal this un-American law….how can this be happening in 2021?

Betsy DeVos truly is an idiot….
Well…as you know, repubs will say or do anything to push their agendas and Betsy DeVos laid down a whopper yesterday in a press release that sounds like a 7th grader wrote it, in trying to justify the privatization of public schools and school choice that has been her calling card here in Michigan and that has destroyed our schools here. What this idiot did yesterday was jaw dropping in its ignorance and stupidity…praising the necessity of historically black colleges and universities as on the vanguard of “school choice” that gave blacks “options” that legal segregation and Jim Crow laws created…now, how many ways is this twisted, convoluted justification of school choice just plain wrong? First, there is no “school choice” in play here…minorities ONLY option in this segregated country at the time was to go to a HBCU school…any minority that tried to enroll in any “white” college or university was met with lynch mobs and gunfire as was James Meredith when he tried to enroll in the University of Mississippi in 1962 and 20,000 soldiers of the National Guard had to be called out to protect him and put down the riots by whites who would have killed him if they could….some choice, huh? All of this is just a new piece of evidence of the ignorance of history of ole Betsy and that she will use any lie to push her for profit school schemes that will reward her rich buddies and hurt every child here in the US…after all, she has lived in her rich girl bubble her entire life and has no idea what normal people have to do to get by….and she sure doesn’t give a damn about anyone but her rich, white cronies…and that press release shows it…
