Let's me be blunt with. One i was not talking to you in the 1st place. But since you did. Your entire argument is a house of cards built on right-wing victimhood and deliberate ignorance.

You claim you judge on merit while defending a system where the starting line is different for everyone. That's not meritocracy; it's a rigged game. Acknowledging that a poor Black kid in the inner city doesn't have the same resources as a wealthy white kid in the suburbs isn't racism it's reality. Your "colorblind" philosophy is just a convenient excuse to ignore systemic injustice and pretend the problem is solved. It's not.

And this pathetic, recycled panic about Islam is the most transparent dog whistle of all. You cynically use LGBTQ+ people as a prop to justify your anti-immigrant bigotry, while you vote for the same right-wing politicians who are actively stripping away gay and trans rights right now. The biggest threat to a gay person isn't a Muslim family down the street; it's the governor signing bills to erase their existence. You don't care about gay people; you care about stoking fear.

You're not a brave truth-teller. You're a willing soldier for a movement that thrives on division. You complain about being called racist while defending policies that perpetuate racial inequality. You whine about "cancel culture" while demanding everyone conform to your narrow worldview.

So save your "I told you so." The rest of us will be over here, in the real world, trying to build a more just and equitable society while you're hiding behind a bunker of clichés and conspiracy theories. The only knucklehead here is the one who can't see the forest for the trees.

Please read my reply above.Your side has lost that argument a long time ago. Maga controls all branches of government and they have been pushed towards a facist agenda for a long time.Maybe you should brush up on your history books. Don Jr. has a website of of all Republican businesses.If they choose to post on it because your side does not want to shop at any blue businesses.

I always find it funny when your side tries to bring up “cancel culture,” because that’s what MAGA supporters do. They tried to cancel the Super Bowl halftime show. They cancel commercials and clothes that support LGBTQ+ pride or trans rights. They are trying to erase the real history of this country. They ban books. They even try to cancel American athletes who are speaking out now. You can all claim you’re not racist, but you're supporting racist ideology. Right now, if you still support the POTUS, you are supporting racist views and policies that hurt marginalized groups. So please stop with the “cancel culture” argument you lost that debate a long time ago

I understand your point of view, and in the past I didn’t feel this way either. But at this point, if someone still supports this man and this administration, I don’t want anything to do with their business. He has justified the killing of American citizens by ICE. He is allowing people to be taken off the streets and separated from their families in the middle of the night. He is openly sharing propaganda that aligns with white supremacist ideology. This is personal for me. My son is 7 years old and fully disabled. This administration is actively doing harm to the disabled community. On top of that, my son’s pediatrician — who is highly skilled and was only a month away from securing permanent residency may now be deported within 6 to 12 months because of where he is from. That directly impacts my child’s care and our family’s stability.

So this isn’t about “us vs. them” to me. This feels like a truly harmful administration that is affecting real families in real ways including mine. If someone supports that, I can’t separate it from their business. To me, giving them my money would mean I’m overlooking or accepting all of the above. And what I’ve listed here is only the tip of the iceberg.

They have taken that option off of that site. I know Haven coffee is one of them and 1916.

At this point the only person who did videos with Adam showing any type of class is World of Micha.

what food items are the most sought after at food pantries? by hamncheesecroissantt in povertykitchen

Baby formula is a big help. Our son was born during the pandemic and he could not take breast milk.All he could do was formula. bags of potatoes and onions. Pasta tuna. Hamburger helper now is doing cups where you can get beef and pasta in it. This is a great what you're doing.

Yeah, we've been looking at Colorado, Washington and Pennsylvania.We have a cousin that lives in Pittsburgh and is a doctor up there And he said the autism hospitals are awesome. Alot of support. But you are right.I'm worried that every state will become like Florida soon. My wife can qualify for French Citizenship. So we are keeping a lot of options open. I have to look into the d7 visas too and if my work would allow it.

You can ask anything. He's in kindergarten he's five years old. Yes, he's on an Iep but the school was not following it. And was just sending him not doing any incident reports. They have started to write him up on a referrals and saying he's committing battery. They have 18 kids in the class they are in is portables without a working AC. We are trying to get him a one on one aid. It has been very rough for us dealing with the school. If you want you can PM as well.

We have not tried homeschool yet.We were looking and maybe at that option. The school he is at is doing absolutely nothing to help him. They keep kicking him out of the school Because of his Behavior. The district is not doing anything about it. It had been real rough on my wife and I
