I have adopted today as a holiday, known as "Coward's Day." A day for us all to remember that Confederates and all their fascist cousins are fucking losers and cowards, universally.

Three right-wing talking points whose logic contradicts each other: 1. No voter ID means illegal immigrants are voting. 2. You need an ID to fly on a plane so you should need one to vote. 3. We need to send ICE to airports to arrest all the illegal immigrants flying on planes.

It's very hard for the public to learn who is behind these accounts, but if any prosecutors did want to take up this case, it would likely be trivially easy to subpoena all the evidence they need.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None.
Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law?
Zachary: Correct.
Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...
