[The Reformed American Republic]

Biden's expected to sign the measure in time for this year's Juneteenth on Saturday.

Awesome! New day off

I have no opposition.

Why? Most Americans do not approve of CRT. So the republicans are doing what their voters and most of Americans want

You have proof of that claim?

Yes. 58% of Americans have a negative view of CRT. While the Republican panic against it is dumb because it's taught in very few places to begin with it's not a popular thing.

I don't see how anyone could be optimistic tbh. Maybe if you're disengaged from everything and thought the only thing wrong was the orange man but the world is still dying in real time and things like wealth inequality are still getting worse.

Basically, things are no longer everything is burning and the person in charge is lighting the fires and is now closer to 99.99% of things are burning but the person in charge is not lighting the fires.

Literally everything is about to start burning again because half the country is in a drought.

Summer is just starting and we're already out of water. Fun times ahead!

I think it makes good points about systemic racism and how power structures in much of the Western World were made with Whites in mind, but it could do with some modifications. Kowani's excellent effort-post showed what it is in detail, but the average human being doesn't care that much about details and will boil it down to oversimplification.

I haven't even had time to figure out what CRT is and why everyone is outraged about it.

Well, our resident expert on all things, Kowani, made a great effort-post about its basics: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=501959&p=38734326#p38734326

Basically it’s a legal theory that’s the new scapegoat for the culture war.

Im hoping this year we get a good monsoon season. Only another month before I find out we’re not getting anything

Same bruh, I don't like diving into culture war stuff because I don't want to melt my brain.

Which means the Dems will go for it, as they always manage to fight the GOP in the worst ways possible.

It's been unnaturally hot for June here in Illinois, and unnaturally dry.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is teeing up a key test vote for next week on a sweeping bill to overhaul federal elections.

Schumer started a fast-track process on Wednesday night for bringing the For the People Act up for a vote before the full Senate, where it's guaranteed to fall short of the 60 votes needed to defeat a GOP filibuster.

“This is the necessary step for Leader Schumer to move to proceed and file cloture on the voting rights legislation, which would then set up a vote on cloture on the motion to proceed to the bill next week," a spokesman for Schumer said.

Because a lot of right-wingers don’t like it being pointed out that systemic racism exists.

I live in Arizona. Monsoon season is supposed to start soon and I’m worried that we aren’t going to get a good drenching

Most Americans don't like CRT according to Washington Resistance Army. It's not just a position amongst right-wingers.

It’s not just right wingers. Nearly 60% of the nation has a problem with it.

[Cannot think of a name]

Yeah but when you have to go all the way down to the state legislature of a small state before you get a politician who kicked a kid in the nuts 'cause god told him to, that's a base level of shit going on.

So when did this last happen above and beyond the level of state legislatures?

There was that guy running for the House that bodyslammed a reporter.
