TALLAHASSEE, FL—Touting the legislation as a common-sense victory for family values, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a new law Thursday requiring all Florida women to produce three healthy, white sons by the date of their 22nd birthday. “The production of white daughters will not be penalized, but they...

Trump Plans to Reward Peter Navarro for Going to Jail Instead of Being a 'Rat'
  • Everyone knows keeping quiet and doing time to protect the Boss is gonna be rewarded when you get out. It’s a standard mafia career move.

  • Why Speaker Mike Johnson’s trip to Trump’s trial in N.Y. mattered
  • Ya know, Raskin wasn’t on my radar until he was named the lead Impeachment manager in 2021 but that man is sharp and everytime he shows up in the news it seems like it’s because he’s not shying away from telling it exactly how it is.

    Trump's $60 Bible & Constitution omits amendments ending slavery and allowing women to vote
  • The fact that the sales description lists the Bill of Rights separately from the US Constitution logically implies that “The US Constitution” isn’t meant to include its amendments in the context of the book’s contents.

    Does someone tie your shoes for you or are they velcro?

  • Trump's $60 Bible & Constitution omits amendments ending slavery and allowing women to vote
  • The actual sales description from the official website:

    This Bible also features a copy of:

    Handwritten chorus to “God Bless The USA” by Lee Greenwood
    The US Constitution
    The Bill of Rights
    The Declaration of Independence
    The Pledge of Allegiance

    The US Constitution includes all Amendments, not just the ones Republicans like. The headline as written is 100% correct not just technically correct. Whereas your suggestion is downplaying reality and pure spin. Whether you're aware of it or not you're spreading Republican lies.

    Edit: to remove uncertainly about the motive here. Their reply made it crystal clear that spreading republican spin is deliberate.

  • The headline is not wrong but is (probably intentionally) misleading.

    It's not misleading in any way. Stop parroting this nonsense right wing apologia that you read from some rando on lemmy.

    SO FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME: The US Constitution includes all Amendments. Not just the ones Republicans like.

  • A headline that said “Trump Bible only contains the Bill of Rights and not the rest of the Constitution” would also be factual, but it doesn’t push the narrative that Trump is anti-black and anti-woman.

    The headline is written that way because the bible is advertised as including the US Consitution. Not just the Bill of Rights. The US Constitution includes all Amendments. Not just the ones Republicans like. Let's take a look at the actual sales listing, shall we?

  • And the top reply to that is:

    The Constitution includes all the Amendments, even the 18th that got repealed. It’s not rage bait, it’s reporting the facts. If the facts outrage people, that doesn’t mean they aren’t facts.

    Funny that you forgot to mention that one...

    1. I didn't "pick" the one with the highest rating and I don't appreciate you implying that I am somehow being disingenuous. I just use Rotten Tomatoes. But, since you want to compare scores, I'll just say Metacritic's 58 critic score is based on 23 reviews while Rotten Tomatoes is based on 51 critics.

    Onion Gift Guide: Mother’s Day Gifts For Every Type Of Mom
  • While the United States holiday was adopted by some other countries, existing celebrations, held on different dates, honoring motherhood have become described as "Mother's Day", such as Mothering Sunday in the United Kingdom or, in Greece, the Eastern Orthodox celebration of the presentation of Jesus Christ to the temple (2 February of Julian Calendar). Both the secular and religious Mother Day are present in Greece. Mothering Sunday is often referred to as "Mother's Day" even though it is an unrelated celebration.

    In some countries, the date adopted is one significant to the majority religion, such as Virgin Mary Day in Catholic countries. Other countries selected a date with historical significance. For example, Bolivia's Mother's Day is a fixed date, commemorating a battle in which women participated to defend their children.

    Some countries, such as Russia, celebrated International Women's Day instead of Mother's Day or simply celebrate both holidays, which is the custom in Ukraine. Kyrgyzstan has recently introduced Mother's Day, but "year on year International Women's Day is certainly increasing in status". Source via Wikipedia

    TL;DR In many countries the modern form of the holiday is strongly influenced by the US version but may be centered around an pre-existing holiday intended to celebrate motherhood from their unique cultural/religious traditions.

  • Did it actually radicalize, or just take the mask off?

    When a community allows you to feel comfortable "taking the mask off" and embracing your inner bigot that is radicalization. So yes, The_Donald did radicalize people. Your comment is an attempt to highlight a distinction without a functional difference.

    I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won't be surprised but don't dismiss the findings out of hand. It's important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.
