Talk me down, please. [View all]

I'm considering wearing a Satanic Temple t-shirt to our local school board meeting. That, or take a collapsible colander and pirate eye-patch (Flying Spaghetti Monster) and put them on during the public comments. Why? Because Praying Lady, a Moms for Liberty (gag--the misuse of that word!) continues to spew a prayer, almost a sermon, when it's her turn to talk at the podium.

Moms for Bigotry started right here in Sarasota, FL, and the Proud Boys Ladies Auxiliary is vengeful, like their demi-god DeathSentence the Tallahassee Tyrant. One Bigot Mom continues to attack the sole left-leaning member of school board, personally and abusively, for being gay during her comments--every damn meeting. They are the stormtroopers for the education privatization conservative donor class who are trying to privatize public education, public hospitals, prisons, you name it--but they believe they're doing the dirty work so god can takeover our secular institutions and turn US into theocracy--like the Founders never intended, btw.

Phew! OK, helps to vent here.

Oh, forgot to add--during the public comments a lbgtq person/ally spoke about the fear and hatred promoted by DeSadist causing families of non-cis-gendered to feel like they aren't wanted in FL and should move out. A Moms for Bigotry seated behind me muttered, "Good. Leave."

So hard to continue fighting here. Again, helps to vent here--I know DUers get it.
