The irony that I personally am seeing is my stepdad actively encouraging me to get my FOID (Illinois gun card) card and acquire a piece to carry on my person.

He doesn't realize if I had one at all times it would likely get used to stop right wing #fascism if I had such an opportunity. He just so fervently believes in the 2nd #Amendment that he's blind to this kind of thing.

He's one of those individuals that believes if you just comply, cross the border legally, etc. that you wouldn't have any issues. If it wasn't obvious, I disagree.

Local press accuses city officials of secrecy. Officials sue, to silence local press, not feeling ironic at all. Judge sides with the fascists! Orders paper to remove editorial! Paper will appeal. Wowza.

“In 2020 and again in 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable. The OLC concluded that extending or removing the deadline requires new action by Congress or the courts. Court decisions at both the District and Circuit levels have affirmed that the ratification deadlines established by Congress for the ERA are valid."

Congress originally set the ratification deadline at March 1979, and later voted to extend it to June 1982.

Trump, a #Florida #resident, said he’d be (#illegally) #voting for the #amendment that would #legalize #recreationalpot in the #state for #adults, even as DeSantis #campaigns against it.

— Even though trump hasn't been sentenced yet he is still a convicted felon and under Florida law has already lost his right to vote.
