The applicants made it clear the space wouldn’t be just for LGBTQ+ students. It would be for anyone who needs to “just breathe for a second,” said one of the students who confronted the adults Nov. 14.

The grant asks for just one thing — that they identify the sponsors, something that every grant does, one school board member reminded the room. In this case, it would be with one simple phrase anywhere in the space: “It Gets Better.”

    Well, for starters he was the first president to try to retain the office despite losing an election.

    We should never normalize that.

      Lol, well that narrative appears to have taken a deep turn away from reality.

      You guys do understand that from the middle the insane propaganda of the right is nearly indistinguishable from the stuff coming from the left, right?

      Plenty of elections have been contested… There is no evidence that I’ve seen of an attempt towards a coup d’etat.

      I don’t like the guy either but holy crap… I mean a good chunk of his military administration didn’t even necessarily like the guy. I know General Goldfein personally, he wouldn’t have allowed Trump to stage a coup… That man was and is about as honorable a general as one could ask for.

      You can oppose Trump and also not fall for media sensationalism, I promise you will be okay.

      I think it’s possible you may be young enough that you don’t know or remember the controversy surrounding Reagan, or Bush, or Clinton, or Bush again. I mean Reagan was so controversial that people tried to assassinate him and there media was reporting he was mentally unfit in his second term. Reaganomics was incredibly controversial and Democrats in that day treated it almost the same way that the Republicans today are treating Bidenomics.

      Trust me in the grand scheme of American politics Trump isn’t wildly unique. I offer those words to everyone not in his defense, because fuck that guy, but in hopes of inspiring a little more calm in the world because it ain’t healthy for any of us to be this outraged all the time. All it does is just make us all more vulnerable to being manipulated.

        You can try to gaslight people all you want.

        We all saw what happened.

        I read the legal case that his administration made.

        We know what the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were up to that day, and why.

        His own lawyer said he wasn’t going to leave.

        Pretending otherwise doesn’t make it reality.

        Normalizing it is collaboration.

        Why don’t you ask that bleeding-heart leftist Liz Cheney what the fuck he was up to?
