Republican “priorities”

[theconcealedweapon]

Kids are murdered by police.

Kids are working because their families are poor.

Kids are homeless.

Kids are in jail.

Kids are forced to give birth.

Kids are terrified of dying in a school shooting.

Somehow, the "let kids be kids" crowd are okay with all of that but angry about LGBT people's existence being mentioned.

Iowa principal who risked his life to protect students during a high school shooting has died

[Dan] Marburger was critically injured during the Jan. 4 attack, which began in the school’s cafeteria as students were gathering for breakfast before class. An 11-year-old middle school student was killed in the shooting, and six other people were injured. The 17-year-old student who opened fire also died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.

The day after the shooting, the state Department of Public Safety said Marburger “acted selflessly and placed himself in harm’s way in an apparent effort to protect his students.”

************

This man risked...and ultimately gave...his life, to protect and save as many of his students as he could.

Just heard the school across the street go on lockdown as I was getting out of my car. (Probably a drill? Lotta pork on campus, 3 sheriff’s cars and school district security)

I hate it. Kids these days have to prepare to be shot at. Because it happens.

I remember Columbine breaking our souls here in Colorado, making international news.

Now when I drop Jay off at school, there are days that I think, “He could get shot today.” Not because anything different is happening, just because he could get shot any day. He goes to a good school! But good schools get shot up too.

I can’t homeschool him. I’m not a teacher. Cognitively and in terms of energy, I couldn’t keep up. He’s a junior in high school and needs his peers and his theater program 🎭.

So I send him to school every day. It’s like gambling. We’ve won every day so far.

I hope the kids at the elementary school across the street aren’t too scared. I hope it’s a drill, I hope they know it’s a drill.

Do you need more proof that Republicans are becoming even more homophobic by the week?

Whenever you hear somebody thinking of sitting out the election or ruminating about wasting a vote on some automatic loser third party, remind them of the insidious evil which the Republican Party has become.

MAGA Mike Johnson is now the highest ranking Republican in the US. He received every single vote of GOP House members, including the alleged moderates, to become House Speaker.

15 Not-Fun Facts About Speaker Mike Johnson

1. He masterminded Trump’s election coup. 2. He's the least-experienced House Speaker in 140 years. 3. He worked for the conservative legal group behind the case that ended Roe v. Wade. 4. He wants to ban abortion nationwide. 5. He blamed abortion for school shootings. 6. He also blamed abortion for Social Security and Medicare cuts. 7. He blamed mass shootings on the teaching of evolution. 8. He fought to make taxpayers fund a Noah’s Ark theme park. 9. He fought to ban same-sex marriage in Louisiana. 10.

He was an advocate for "covenant marriage," which makes it harder to divorce. 14. He blamed post-Katrina looting on America turning away from God. 15. He doesn't believe in the separation of church and state.

The 2024 election pits the 17th century against the 21st century. Republicans don't accept any of that newfangled thinking from The Enlightenment.

The "schools have litter boxes for students who identify as cats" lie started with schools carrying cat litter for students to use in case of a lockdown during a school shooting.

The assholes spreading that lie are even more evil than I thought.
