NC Senate Republicans want to clear several boards

[zazen]

3. oh, have we posted about the nipple legislation yet?

Maybe we should set up a "heinous NC GOP legislation" watch & post schedule to share the labor of posting story after story. This is outrage number what-- 8?-- in the past two weeks.

Ok, this is not the Weimar Republic, but it's friggin' frightening to me how fast these evil bastards are moving their regressive, hate-filled agenda to starve the poor, let the sick die already, and open up our environment to utter industrial degradation. I mean, they're moving so fast it's like the progressive left is in shock.

It reminds me of that guy's story about the slow change with the Weimar when they slowly became acclimated to more and more outrageous things. I mean, I NEVER thought they'd try some of the things they're trying, let alone all of them within the first two weeks. What's next? Losing our rights to peacefully assemble? Identity checks at intersections? Illegalizing abortion? Are they going to take over the State Department of Public Instruction?

I can't stand the mainstream Democratic party in this state, but I thought that they were pretty much in cohoots with the mainstream Republican party, and that their neoliberal asses were keeping things in check, barely, but in check. When Hunt and Erskine look like leftists compared to these folks, you know we're in trouble.
