Outrage in Seattle after ‘raids’ of several gay bars citing ‘lewd conduct’ laws
Outrage in Seattle after ‘raids’ of several gay bars citing ‘lewd conduct’ laws
The authorities deny that it was a raid, but bar owners, managers, and patrons are asking what else to call it.

Stonewall season?
Keep your bricks handy. When Trump wins reelection in November, we're all going to need them.
Doomerism breeds apathy. Get your bricks ready just in case, but don’t forget to vote
Voting's not going to matter now.
We elected a Democratic Congress and president and abortion was still criminalized. Their only response to it was to raise money. (A cool $80,000,000 to be precise.)
The only difference between these two groups of legislators is that one will stab you in the front while the other stabs you in the back. They're both getting richer no matter who wins.
Sorry, but who exactly is in control of the House and stonewalls any sort of progress before it could ever reach the Senate or Biden? Here's a hint: it's not the Democrats. Get your voter apathy nonsense outta here, people who think like you do are why the Republicans are able to win and do so much damage.
No, the Republicans win because we give Democrats power and still get conservative outcomes regardless.
In half of the states it's still legal to pay someone seven bucks an hour. A single unexpected $400 expense will drive 30-40 million Americans to take on more debt. An unexpected injury or illness will still put most Americans into bankruptcy.
And what do Democrats do? Pretend that war is the most important issue, and move heaven and earth to ship more of our tax money overseas for it.
That is why so many people don't think voting matters, and they're not wrong.
Abortion is a product of the supreme Court being stuffed by Conservatives under Trump. So yes, a precise product of letting Conservatives win the elections in 2016. It doesn't get more direct than this
If anything voting matters even more! Especially for those of us that are in red states. Thomas already said that he would reverse Lawrence v TX (2003) and Hodges v Obergefell (2015). The anti-sodomy laws are still on the books in TX and the TX AG has said that he would use that law should Lawrence be overturned.
It's comments like this that keep people from the polls, when we should be running towards them! We could turn TX blue, if people just bothered to show up. We were the first state to have in-person early voting (1980) and we still have terrible turnout partly due to this mentality.
We need more people voting to help shift the country to the left. There are lives at stake if we let the Republicans win.
Voting’s not going to matter now.
get fucked with that rhetoric. it's defeatist and garbage. in the process of tearing down the old system, you can still use a broken system to reduce harm. abandoning the fucking enterprise and alienating your allies is blisteringly stupid.
So... who are you voting for?
well let's see. we have one who's a mediocre president everyone says is helping war crimes.
or we have the one who's said he'll be a day one dictator.
Now, shit man, that's a tough one... huh... let's see... uh....
OH THAT'S FUCKING RIGHT I ALREADY SWORE MY OATH AND I'LL BE FUCKED IF I PUT A TREASONOUS MORON BACK INTO THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE.
Yeah, guess that may not have been as complex as you might think.
Disappointment? or Traitor who has a giant hardon for dictators and wants to give that lifestyle a go?
huhhhh....
tell you what, I'll let you take off your shoes if using your toes helps you add it up faster.
Ah lads... not again...
