Make sure you let Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, and Andy Barr know how you feel if you or your friends & family have been affected by their Republican party Project 2025 goal to kill off the poor, elderly, and disabled.
Thousands of households have lost their SNAP benefits so far, with more to come.

The republicans don't care if you live or die. Stop voting for them.

Red State Blues, or better known as: what happens when you teach kids fairy tales instead of science and facts; oppress women, lgbtq folks, and POC; then consistently vote against your own interests.
(Podcast of course avoids those topics.)

Do not come to Kentucky for any reason if you can avoid it.
Hospitals, Clinics, and private practices will now let you sit there and suffer or die if you are not a white CIS male person.
Good luck finding a provider who understands your situation and isn't a white nationalist christo-fascist.
All of them can refuse to treat you under this bill for *any* imaginary reason.
This is state sanctioned medical malpractice and yes, murder.

Our Red legislature just voted to completely remove local tax ability from the large Blue school system in the state (which also happens to be the top performing academically, iirc) to punish the school system for teaching real history, real science, and empathy towards all races, religions, and cultures.
If you're thinking about moving here, or your biz here, don't. Ky is already near last in ed stats due to 117 red counties.

Ah, Karma. We love you.
Dealership tells her the suit against them for using the name she legally acquired had to go to arbitration instead, since the **car** she previously bought from them ad that clause in the contract?!?
I'd say "nice try" except it was a slime-ball move. Judge agrees and says buggar off.

For-Profit "healthcare" at work...
For some odd reason this was not in the news here in Central Ky.
Wonder why?

I cannot urge you enough to not travel to the states shown here in dark maroon. It's not safe for *any* woman or lgbtq person.
Also do not buy products manufactured in any of those states - including Ky Bourbon.
Boycott any biz that has their headquarters in these states unless you know for a *fact* they support LGBTQ rights and are not right wing nut jobs. There aren't two sides here. No money for fascists.

In many Kentucky counties, 117 out of 120 of which are Red, the school system is the biggest employer.
It will absolutely collapse without the federal funds that keep them open.
All these people will lose their jobs, will only be hired back at sub-living wage rates, and the kid's learning will be disrupted for months if not years while the state legislators try to get fairy tale spewing for-profit scammers to take it all over.

Republicans dishonest use of bills by attaching things that have little or nothing to do with the original needs to be illegal.
Read about the for-profit school that ignores requirements: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/education/2025/03/05/kentucky-virtual-academy-bill-stride-inc/80027195007/
"Haynes estimated about 500 were previously home-schooled...Most concerning was student performance...Of the district's virtual third grade students, 9% were proficient in math, compared to 43% statewide."

Just a reminder class, Ky is a state w/ a deep red legislature.
If you come here and your wife, daughter, girlfriend, or mother needs emergency medical care, they will be left to die in the parking lot.
If you are LGBTQ, you will be harassed, and if you are Trans your regular medical regime will be withheld from you.
If you are non-christian you can expect to be treated like dirt unless you're filthy rich, then they'll just smirk behind your back.

Kentucky moved to violate prisoner's rights to freedom of religious practice and their civil rights to appropriate medical care by forcing them to de-transition in obedience to one whackadoodle cult's beliefs.
It's a violation of their basic human rights.
Since many people in prison are awaiting trial and are not yet (or ever) found guilty of anything, it's a gross assault on their dignity & freedom.

If you're thinking about moving to KY, don't. If you're thinking about opening a branch of your biz here, don't.
"...It erodes trust, limits our ability to represent you effectively, and limits the public from having a say. If democracy means anything, it means openness—an invitation for everyone to understand, to question, and to speak. These rules...move us in the wrong direction."

Kentucky's plan is apparently to be the 3rd world backwater of the US to attract wall street projects that want sub-living wage workers.

Over a third of Kentucky's supposed population "growth" was in the elderly who can't or won't leave. The rest is mostly unwanted kids & under-educated young people who can't find god jobs b/c they were taught fairy tales instead of science.
