If the Iowa GOP and Farm Bureau don't like me, run against me. The cowards know that won't work, so they're going to change the rules and override the will of the voters.

Ok, I'll clean your clocks again. Or maybe run against Driscoll.

Iowa Senate just approved a bill that would require counties w/a state university (Johnson, Story, Black Hawk) to elect county supervisors by district, rather than at large.
They claim the goal is greater rural representation.
Obvious goal is electing Republicans.

We actually do need hardcore, knuckle busting partisanship with the stated goal of breaking the political and institutional power of the Republican Party. Raze the party, burn it down, and salt the ashes.

I think the two star cars of the show would've had mandatory lap belts. Shoulder belts were still an extra cost option on my '71 C10.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

Our county (Johnson, Iowa), through our ambulance service, has partnered with the Kerber Heart Safe initiative. We provide 24/7/365 accessible AED/Narcan boxes throughout the county and offer the public an app to respond to cardiac events as a stopgap until advanced EMS can arrive.

I appreciate the reflection. As a Democratic county official in a red state, I do hope someone will stand up something similar to ALEC.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Woof. I left the Church decades ago and this still moves me to tears.

Elsewhere in the thread, Rahaeli mentions our civic religion. Defeating fascism requires us to pull together all faiths, including "nones" like me, to embrace a spirit of fidelity and strength in the face of naked evil.

This whole thread, and in particular this one right here. I understand and appreciate precisely what these folks are up to, and to borrow from a different faith tradition, it is Big Medicine.

This is a really, really good act of protest that uses a protest language that has a chance of reaching people who would otherwise dismiss the issue. You can tell by how many former Catholics are seeing it here and having like entire full-body shudders despite having left the church decades ago.

I left the Church, the Church left me, whichever. We often make good common cause.
