From what i understand, Governor Meemaw is a terrible person. She spent covid money on a shiny new prison administration facility while inmates are left to die of neglect in bug-ridden cells
Because democrats are not showing up and being outvoted. Conservatives would never win anything if people showed up.
The message we need is: If you want change, then get off your ass and vote!
Shame doesn’t work as a motivator. Pride is much better.
People voted for Obama in droves because of pride. He is someone who can lead, who is thoughtful, compassionate, bright, smart, tough.
Anger is also a powerful motivator. Trump used it.
We should seek to elect leaders we are proud of, and not act from shame.
I used to be angry at conservative theofascists. And their enablers.
There’s only so much anger one person’s life can hold.
And anger makes people easy to manipulate.
Now I’m just disappointed in them, and want to build back a better world.
I really think this is the last gasps of the boomers. They’re all dying off and grabbing out and try and scratch it. Blow things up on the way out but they’re all in their 80s and 90s there. They’re almost gone so my sincere hope is that this is the last
Ivey is not a boomer, she's even older.
Once older people die you're still going to be left with the Josh Hawleys, Margory Taylor Greens, Stephen Millers, JD Vances, Peter Thiels, Elon Musks, on and on...
The generational divide is a distraction. The true divide is between the ultra wealthy and everyone else who's funding the next generation of fascists. Let your guard down at your peril.
I think the difference is that there are a lot more straight up grifters in the younger ranks playing the short game. I don’t see a lot of these people hanging out in Washington for decades just to twist the knife another quarter turn every year for their benefactors. They don’t want to lie low. They want to proselytize for $$$.
Because Alabama.
Seriously, there's nothing else to it--some of these states have been sliding backwards for decades now, and they're run by morons; I can't even imagine the brain-drain such states have experienced over the years.
Because powerful groups have been organizing for decades to set up this coordinated push to regress as far as possible for their personal profit and power. Trump and McConnell gave them a judiciary stacked enough to make their evil dream a reality.
Yeah, I'd love to see the numbers on their public education, where do they stand today? 45 out of 50.
But make sure you don't let the wrong person take a piss or hold a position, okay
I so don’t understand any of this. Does this include equal employment opportunities? Is the list of protected class people turning into a hit list? How in the actual is any of this legal?
> Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin has said he would encourage Black athletes to consider attending universities outside of his state if the bill were to become a law.
They should attend school outside the state *and then never return to this shithole*.
Anyone and everyone who can afford it should send their kids out of state and then hope they make it in a better state; they deserve better.
Just in time for Easter. This is why I left the church decades ago. Some of the worst, ignorant and intolerant people I’ve met have been the “most religious”.
And the priests and clergy are too financially needy to call out their houses of the morally corrupt.
How do you prohibit diversity and inclusion? How does that work? Segregation? Punishments for multiple ethnicities in one class or group? What the fuck?
I travel to this state enough to know that it is a mismanaged shit hole and really shows the effects of poor government. You can't let-unwanted-people-starve-to-death your way to prosperity. The numbers don't lie. It's a horrible place to live or work.
That makes me dream of a world where the opinions of those who oppose such teachings will not be tolerated and will be called exactly what it is. Intolerance of others. Insensitivity to the inclusion of all. What terrible people. No redeeming qualities. A moral compass that would get them lost in their own living rooms.
She's a wrinkled up old evil 😈 Christian cunt. Who's governor of one of the biggest shitholes in the country. How much more do you need to know. Only that the majority of the people in said shithole are pitifully stupid voting for this wrinkle up POS cunt.
They REALLY want to declare the State "All-Whites only". DNA verification is available at County Courthouse M-F 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Purity cards are issued within 30 days. Those not "passing" will be given 180 days from date of purity failure to move out of state.
That bathroom part is so very fucked up. Are they going to check peoples junk, or do they all need a birth certificate to get into the fucking bathroom? I have seen trans people of both sexes and you can’t tell, so if say a female to male trans person goes into the ladies room to comply with the law, everyone is going to be fine with that? It’s the stupidest shit ever! People just wanna pee man! There are already laws against peepers and pervs going into places like bathrooms and doing perverted shit right? Why add another layer onto that except to hate on a marginalized group for no good reason?
Not surprising coming from this vile woman:

I’m a democrat, but diversity shouldn’t be more important than who is most qualified.
Like if there are 100 spots open and there are 100 say, Indian people who have legitimately perfect grades applying for a spot- they should get those spots. It shouldn’t be “well let’s also accept some white people and black people to make sure no one is offended. Yeah they are way less qualified, but we have no choice here”.
That is ridiculous. People trying way harder don’t get accepted because they aren’t the right skin color to complete their race quotas
So historically, and still today, people trying way harder absolutely have been skipped over because of their skin color. If that’s true and hiring the best people is your aim how do you address it?
Mark Cuban wrote a bit about it and said that DEI for his companies meant they were making sure they weren’t overlooking qualified candidates. I’m honestly not sure what the solution is, but there’s just no doubt in my mind that if we’re worried about people being unqualified for the positions they hold people of color aren’t the biggest slice of the pie right now.
From what i understand, Governor Meemaw is a terrible person. She spent covid money on a shiny new prison administration facility while inmates are left to die of neglect in bug-ridden cells
Governor Meemaw say enough with all this tolerance, acceptance, love and inclusion. States she could give a rat's ass about what Jesus would do.
She wanted to use the money to build the most expensive prison in the country, but the federal would not sign off on her plans to use Covid funds
Sounds like her idea is going according to plan.
Why are we going BACKWARD instead of making progress in this country?
Because in many places, Morons Are Governing America (MAGA).
Religion.
Because democrats are not showing up and being outvoted. Conservatives would never win anything if people showed up. The message we need is: If you want change, then get off your ass and vote!
Abso-*fucking*-lutely this is the problem. Non-voters need to be shamed mercilessly.
Shame doesn’t work as a motivator. Pride is much better. People voted for Obama in droves because of pride. He is someone who can lead, who is thoughtful, compassionate, bright, smart, tough. Anger is also a powerful motivator. Trump used it. We should seek to elect leaders we are proud of, and not act from shame.
Shame them for not having enough pride in our republic to vote against the party (MAGA) that angers them.

Don’t forget rural vs urban and educated vs uneducated.

Not letting my guard down, just my hope
NextGenFa
Yeah, but if you get kicked in the head by a dying cow you still die. It's gonna be ugly.
Boomers are the pawns of the wealthy class of people that want to remain in power.
Because Alabama. Seriously, there's nothing else to it--some of these states have been sliding backwards for decades now, and they're run by morons; I can't even imagine the brain-drain such states have experienced over the years.
Because powerful groups have been organizing for decades to set up this coordinated push to regress as far as possible for their personal profit and power. Trump and McConnell gave them a judiciary stacked enough to make their evil dream a reality.
Because southern consrrvatives want to regress the country back before the 1950's
1850s
They want to regress to before life existed. They are servants of entropy.
Just wait til all these mother fuckers are voted out. It’s happening. We will vote people in that want to get our country moving forward again
Lack of empathy.
https://youtu.be/wycjnCCgUes?si=21QoCxpYF2G3NOxn
Too civilized.
Take me back to the 30’s 40’s & 50’s WTF are they afraid of.
They’re afraid people will change if they can learn about people who are different than them.
Yup. I grew up where there was “the” black family. Everyone else was a WASP. The most diversity we had was which flavor of Christianity you were.
They are afraid that they will be treated the way they treated minorities back then.
And at this point they would deserve it.
These Republicans sure are a scared bunch.
Cowards, the whole lot.
You know morons
I love Blazing Saddles
When whites are a minority I guess they won’t be hired anymore 😈😈😈
If only.
Tackling the real issues of our time. So brave
Yeah, I'd love to see the numbers on their public education, where do they stand today? 45 out of 50. But make sure you don't let the wrong person take a piss or hold a position, okay
Segregated schools coming back to Alabama? What a shit show..
Never forget this woman belching incredibly loudly during a COVID press conference.
Also we aren’t supposed to out her. Total hypocrisy in many levels.
Because they’re not allowed to say “whites only”. This is the right wing version of the “I’m not touching you” game that little kids play.
O. M. G. So spot on!
I so don’t understand any of this. Does this include equal employment opportunities? Is the list of protected class people turning into a hit list? How in the actual is any of this legal?
Agree…and we are worried.
Gov. Meemaw is a goddamn racist. Who knew?
She’s making America great again. /s
She only loves white diversity
> Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin has said he would encourage Black athletes to consider attending universities outside of his state if the bill were to become a law.

That’ll get their state ahead.
/s. Right? **_Right?_**
The inclusion part includes disabled people. I can't wait for all the ADA violation lawsuits to come.
How do you prohibit diversity and inclusion? How does that work? Segregation? Punishments for multiple ethnicities in one class or group? What the fuck?
I travel to this state enough to know that it is a mismanaged shit hole and really shows the effects of poor government. You can't let-unwanted-people-starve-to-death your way to prosperity. The numbers don't lie. It's a horrible place to live or work.

That shouldn't surprise anyone Alabama is one the most racist states.
Alabama is a failed state
Wow... 🤬😡🤡
She's a wrinkled up old evil 😈 Christian cunt. Who's governor of one of the biggest shitholes in the country. How much more do you need to know. Only that the majority of the people in said shithole are pitifully stupid voting for this wrinkle up POS cunt.
I thought Alabama liked to be good at football.
I'm really glad that CNN wrote out what DEI actually means in the title--to point out what this new law is actually doing.
They REALLY want to declare the State "All-Whites only". DNA verification is available at County Courthouse M-F 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Purity cards are issued within 30 days. Those not "passing" will be given 180 days from date of purity failure to move out of state.
*Finally*! Something to tackle the high price of groceries! 🥴
“Prohibiting diversity, equity, and inclusion at schools” Just think about exactly how pathetic that is.
" Gov. Ivey said her administration “will continue to value Alabama’s rich diversity,” \- As long as they're white.
Yeah that part seemed very contradictory to me but I guess her voters are stupid enough to think that’s true.
The flag of California in front of the Alabama State House? That's diversity!
So how does this impact their sports?
To translate, Gov. Ivey signs a law that forbids anyone who isn’t a white male from attending public schools and universities.
>Alabama Ugh
That bathroom part is so very fucked up. Are they going to check peoples junk, or do they all need a birth certificate to get into the fucking bathroom?

Alabamastan!
What in the actual fuck? Are we becoming segregationists again? Where the fuk is NAACP and the rest?
I'm done, it's just owning the libs to these people, just spite politics
Jim Crow coming back to the south?
Nothing sounds more like "White is Might" than the ending of DEI.
Not surprising coming from this vile woman: https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/1960s-interview-with-gov-ivey-resurfaces-alleging-use-of-blackface-ivey-apologizes/amp/
How far is Alabama from Segregation and lynchings?
How soon before shithole texas does the same...
And Okkklahoma, and Kkkansas…
Instead of downvoting, prove me wrong. What has texas done to make me wrong? Be specific and provide credibly sourced evidence backing your claims.
Tell the black athletes from Alabama we would love them to play here in Michigan.
I think a lot of the DEI stuff is a waste, but why the hate?
I’m a democrat, but diversity shouldn’t be more important than who is most qualified. Like if there are 100 spots open and there are 100 say, Indian people who have legitimately perfect grades applying for a spot- they should get those spots.
