Weird... why is nobody commenting about how both parties are the same?
Oh that's easy, because this doesn't play into their narrative
Their goal is to stop people from voting this year so that the fascist can win
It’s 1AM in Russia right now. Wait until morning.
Don't disrespect the CCP posting.
Lol. Right? It looks like the bots haven't gotten to this one yet
The other party loudly proclaimed they don’t want this afaik so… or atleast associate themselves with that idea based on who they elect.
Out the gate early with the "all criticism of the party means that the critic is saying both parties are the same" canard.
My only criticism of Biden on this is that he's had the power to do this all along and is only getting around to it now. Democratic legislators had the power to do more back when they had a majority, but they refuse to wield power when we hand it to them.
almost like they're more okay with fascism than progress?
Almost like the Dept of Ed has been working on these rules for years and the process takes some time and has to be open to public comments and things. The wheels of the government are designed to move slowly. We can discuss if that's good or not, but this isn't something Biden decided last week, it's been in the works for a long time.
And it's almost politics, especially on the left, is more complicated than one party having the slimmest of possible margins. Did you forget about Sinema and Manchen? Have you already forgotten the fights the Dems in Congress had within the party to get enough support to pass things? If you want more progressive polices to pass than you need to elect even more Dems into Congress so that the few fuckwits in the "center-right" can be relegated to the corner and ignored. That doesn't work when nothing can pass if even one senator decides to vote no.
Jesus fucking Christ I swear we need to mandate more than one part of one class for how the government works. So many of you out here acting like the moment a Dem becomes president they can just will whatever laws they want into existence.

maybe if this wasnt a fucking election stunt, wecd care more. I don't expect this to be enforced.
Biden does a bad thing: See? He's just like Trump!
Biden does a moderate thing: See? He's not as left as he should be!
Biden does a good thing early in his term: See? He's not doing enough yet!
Biden does a good thing halfway into his term: See? It's just to help the Dems in the midterm!
Biden does a good thing late in his term: See? He's just trying to appease the people who might vote for him!
but he's not stopping he genocide.
if he protected trans rights and stopped the genocide, sure. I might consider it. too little too late, dude.
See? He's just like Trump! And he's not doing enough! And the things he has done are only to help secure votes!
Edit to add: Also, my dude, did you forget which post this is on? He's literally protecting trans people with this move but it's still not enough. Fact is you wouldn't support him even if he led the revolution himself. He's not perfect, but he's done more to clean up Trump's mess and help marginalized people than any president in history.
the problem with that is I expect it to revert the day after the election, or at least not be maintained.
Sorry, you expect Biden to undo it if he is elected? Or do you just mean that it will be removed if Trump wins. Of course if Trump wins he'll undo whatever of Biden's work he can. I don't have any reason at all to think Biden would remove it after the election if he won. Why wouldn't he maintain it?
Yeah, it's good, for now. Vote to keep it that way.
And cross your fingers that Thomas has a heart attack soon.

Which party is speaking out against it? And which party has 99% supporting it?
neither party is speaking out against it. neither party has stopped funding them.
empty words are empty.
points to all the democrats speaking out against it
I can’t tell if you’re a troll or you just don’t read political news. If it’s an innocent mistake, that’s one thing…

if i had a nickel for everytime i heard someone say "both parties are the same" i'd have a few dollars, which isn't much, but it's weird that i'd have a few dollars.
If i had a nickel for everytime i heard someone reference "both parties are the same" I'd have a lot more than a few dollars, and i'm not sure why. And honestly, it kind of scares me.
I wonder if that’ll make it legal for me to piss in the men’s bathroom again/have a job in the career I love and went thousands in debt to train for… only mentions students and they tend to forget that trans adults exist…
Oklahoma state law says it’s a misdemeanor and schools can lose up to 10% of their funding for letting anyone (teacher or student) use a bathroom that doesn’t match their birth certificate. (There’s been a standing executive order since 2015 that birth certificates cannot be changed). I have the face and body of a reddit neckbeard, but I was violating the law by not pissing in the same room as my female colleagues and students.
Just kinda messes with your head when you have to commit 1-3 crimes a day at work.
I thought Title IX was about students though?
It applies generally to anyone involved in a program receiving federal funding.
Yeah - that’s what I wondering. The law in Oklahoma says anyone in a public school. Our state department of education is controlled by Ryan Walters and LibsOfTikTok, so it’ll be interesting to see how they try to fight this.
Shit I missed that one!
Over the weekend, software developer Travis Brown revealed that the Twitter account used for Libs of Tik Tok had used the screen name @/chayaraichik until late February 2021, and that the same name is the one on the Libs of Tik Tok's domain registration.
At the very least these morons don't seem to have a care for opsec, not that I think it will come to matter :/. Just imagine the shitstorm con-types would have given some Democrat having a secret targetted harassment campaign.
hee hee, whoops, don't tell that group of furry hackers that's been making rounds recently about this one.
Just kinda messes with your head when you have to commit 1-3 crimes a day at work.
Those are rookie numbers!
...drink more water dude
Part of teaching is peeing strategically - you have to plan your water drinking so that you only need to go during lunch or plan. (The worst is when they make you “cover” during your planning period - usually I could get away with sitting behind the desk and doing a subtle pee dance all hour)

Lawsuit from Florida in 3... 2... 1...
Finally some good news for once
This is good news! Trans students will just be using the bathroom, cisgender students are the ones that may be abusing this with negative intentions.
Stay kind, everyone!

lol you’re so accustomed to be able to oppress that you literally think you’re being oppressed if you can’t oppress
This doesn't take anyone's rights away.
Granting rights to one group doesn't automatically remove rights from another.
See gay marriage. Allowing one group of people to have the full rights of marriage doesn't block those same rights from anyone else.
All it means is everyone deserves to be treated like human beings.
Granting rights to one group doesn't automatically remove rights from another.
It does when you're a rigid hierarchy lover who believes everything is zero sum
What the fuck are you talking about?
“When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
ah damn, my rights to not go into the bathroom i please. oh no. I'm losing them.
