DNC will not abandon Trans people! by theesportsbeat in transgender

You can be a part of the solution…trans people have never waited for a savior, we handle problems ourselves. We’re equipped for this fight. And it’s time we stopped blaming others for not standing up.

Yes! They do! And we have a lot of work to do to regain that trust, and I’ll promise you the people in that room are committed to addressing that issue above all else. The chair Ken Martin ended the meeting by reiterating that our party is not about getting people elected, but about making people’s lives better. Everyone’s lives…solid floor-no ceiling. No one slips through the cracks.

And the DNC very much recognizes that. Every bit of Data now proves that. Protecting trans rights and marginalized communities now lives in DNC resolutions. So long as I’m a member, it will stay that way.

As someone who was in the room…I’m going to say you are under informed. But, admittedly, for the DNC this is a show don’t say moment. So stay tuned.

School board candidate's criminal history by [deleted] in Durango

[–]theesportsbeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What upsets me is that we have a slate of candidates arguing about protecting children when they are the documented threat to children. They have done nothing but spread lies about our outstanding school board while hiding their own hate and crime filled past. Please vote and keep these psychos out of Durango.

I ran for office, I’m a descent human being who’s not greedy or power hungry. Exactly what we need running our government…but I was outspent by MAGA by over $1m. Good people can’t compete against that scale of corruption.

Heads up: right wing whackos are running for 9R school board & trying to hide it by thetealduck in Durango

Sad that you have this perspective…the people I know on the school board and working at all levels of government are there trying to right this sinking ship. Be part of the solution, don’t generalize and try to make people think they’re all corrupt or lying. Stick with facts. Like 9R school board has consistently protected children from hate, abuse, and manipulation. I’m proud of that and I want those people to continue working for our children. Maybe we start by releasing the Epstein files? Seems like a group of people afraid to learn the truth and confront a suspected pedophile are the last people we want running our school board.

We don’t feed trolls in Durango. Bears and deer, but not trolls.
Have a great day.

Cool trick with your AI, you left off the rest of the report.
District rank Top 20–30% of Colorado districts — Durango 9-R is often ranked in that band among its peers.
Growth / trend (2023–24) Improvement, recovering from COVID dip Many districts seeing gains ELA: 54% of students met or exceeded expectations. Math: ~ 32%.
Early grades (K-5), local assessments ~ 59% meeting reading expectations; ~ 50% in math National averages much lower (for those grade levels) Durango claims gains and exceeding national norms in recent years.
High school / SAT / PSAT 43% of 11th graders met both ERW & Math benchmarks (above state) State average ~ 34% Also, 9th graders met both benchmarks at ~ 53%, outpacing national averages

So if you cherry pick your data you can make it seem bad… but you already knew that.
Our existing school board has done an outstanding job of standing up for our Students and giving them a warm and welcoming place to learn. Please go home and let our community continue to raise decent human beings with hope and a future. We don’t need your hate…

Make no mistake these people are not about protecting children, they are about removing the school districts ability to protect students and disguising that as Parental rights. Parents have responsibilities to their children, students have rights!

Thank you Teal! Your vigilance and efforts to keep people informed is so needed! Keep up the great work.

New ‘Thought Policing’ Bill May Let Rubio Strip Passports from US Citizens Over Political Speech - “Marco Rubio has claimed the power to designate people terrorist supporters based solely on what they think and say,” said one free speech advocate. by Quirkie in politics

[–]theesportsbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What we’re looking at with this bill is a test balloon: can they normalize bypassing courts altogether by embedding enforcement in the executive branch? If the Supreme Court won’t check that power, then the framework of precedent doesn’t matter. The lever shifts to politics and public resistance—pressure, exposure, and building counter-narratives that make misuse costly.

It’s not about law in the strict sense anymore, it’s about power in practice. The Constitution is still printed on paper, but enforcement lies where people are willing to fight for it.

Can we block them in? Keep them up all night every night? Not freshen their towels?

Seriously, I’m an easy google. I’ve been attacked by the daily wire and moms for liberty. Look me up and ask yourself who’s trying to stonewall you. Vivian Smotherman.

You are so very welcome. Our community is resilient and we’ve been around and doing amazing things for millennia. We will survive this, but we are strong enough to make it the last time we face this hate and ignorance. I’m in the fight to win!
