  1. and also if you don't think that if she was married to a woman and said she was gay that there wouldn't also be an outcry in a county that voted for Trump by 59-40%, I've got a fucking bridge to sell you
  2. kids love knowing things about their teachers, it helps create a connection and can give kids who may not have the love and support at home for who they are (and by middle school many, many kids know or have questions about such things) someone they may be able to turn to. horror of horrors. the implication is that when asked a direct question about sexuality, gay/bi/pan teachers should remain closeted unless they're the abstinence only sex educator.
  3. There’s many states that don’t allow the shipment of alcohol period and Usps won’t ship it at all, and all it takes is an act of congress to say these pills are forbidden from being shipped via usps much the same as alcohol(or banned as a method of abortion period). So we’re in the clear until 2025, pending presidential election results. Plus you can never tell how this ideologically driven court will rule on attempts by red-run states to regulate such things.
  4. Speaking of which what will be the first state to threaten or try to pass a law for a search engine with accessory to murder for giving results on how or where to get an abortion?
  5. You do realize why those homes are worth $2-4 million right? When these homes go on the market a developer should be able to purchase it and then build more homes in its place as there’s clearly a market for housing. reconfiguring commuter rail to more than just peak time commuter rail isn’t as difficult or expensive as you think (and I think GO is already doing some of this). building dense housing around these stations with minimal parking creates ridership in itself. Making available all areas within one mile around a GO station to a modest 10k/sqmi means tens of thousands of new homes available to be built, but the parking lots are the low hanging fruit. And this makes the transit system better because having car dependent transit limits its usefulness.
  6. He was not fired. He was placed on leave for violating district policy and importantly did not seek to reapply for his job when his contract ended. It may seem like this doesn’t matter but it does. Teachers are told repeatedly that their jobs are not guaranteed between contracts and if you violate policy you probably won’t get offered a contract extension. This happens all the time. So if the policy is somehow in violation of the constitution what is the remedy? That he be given a contract extension for a job he didn’t try to reapply for?
  7. With the right development many of those places can be walkable without much trouble. North York for example has a decent grid and is close to the subway but is still largely surrounded by single family homes. There’s also dozens of acres of surface parking around GO stations that I see that can and should be redeveloped for housing for people instead of cars.
  8. And he shouldn’t even have standing since he moved out of state and no longer works for the school
  9. Supreme Court Leans Toward Coach in Case on School Prayer - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM Members of the court’s conservative majority indicated that the coach, Joseph A. Kennedy, had a constitutional right to kneel and pray at the 50-yard line after games. It’s already on the docket! (And also nyt has such a shit summary)
  10. Social security and Medicare/Medicaid. Acb (autocorrected to acab lol) all but said so in her confirmation hearing. These people want to roll back everything since the new deal*! It’s where the modern conservative movement started! *there evidence that if they could they’d pull back the civil war amendments, especially 14th, as they ignore the implication of the text of this one in particular
  11. Kick the nonprofit industrial complex losers who don’t know how to talk to people outside of their activist circles from the party
  12. Maybe they should have more intense land uses than single family homes within a mile of metro stops as can be easily seen from google maps
  13. The women he’s used to dating haven’t had their first period yet so doubtful
  14. Given the relatively low interest rates and relatively high inflation and home price appreciation unless you’re just debt adverse I don’t really see an upside to waiting. Unless there’s something I’m missing. that said there’s services that can front you money for all cash offers (for a handsome fee) if you’ve got something as collateral
  15. There’s an acute housing shortage that’s not going anywhere anytime soon. It would take a lot to drop demand as buyers are usually very well qualified right now and there’s lots of them
  16. It’s already on the docket! The Supreme Court adds affirmative action to its potential hit list WWW.NPR.ORG With the court already having heard arguments this term on abortion and guns, this case marks yet another politically charged issue that threatens to uproot decades of legal doctrine.
