It would be bad enough if this was all she voted for, but the bill literally also has a provision to strip school funding from any school that has books with trans characters, has policies protecting trans students, performs shakespeare’s 12th night, or even has a trans teacher.

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

Beutler is, of course, correct. Trump and the GOP are doing exactly what it looks like their doing - preparing to use any authoritarian means available to void democratic institutions. The scheme is a product of Trump's political weakness. But preparing to counter it is simply essential.
