Jewish student with autism had swastika carved onto his back, mother says
The woman told COLlive.com that her son, a student at Clark High School, came home on March 9 with the hate symbol etched into his skin. The woman, who told the outlet that she wanted to remain anonymous, said the 17-year-old is nonverbal, uses a service dog and has someone to assist him at all times.
"My son is the only student I know of who wears a Kippah at the school," she told the outlet, referring to the cap worn by Jewish men and boys. (NBC News)
A Round-Up of Fuck Yous
It’s been yet another terrible week in news, with Republicans attacking people’s basic constitutional rights and only some Democrats putting up a fight. It’s hard to keep track of all the infuriating things going on, so I’ve compiled a cheat sheet for you.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of Sue’s weekly Fuck Yous.
Fuck you to Iowa Republicans for voting at 4 a.m. to roll back child labor laws.
Fuck you to the Texas Senate for passing a bill that would require public schools to prominently display the Ten Commandments, which is almost certainly a violation of the First Amendment!
Fuck you to the North Dakota House for wasting time and money on new abortion restrictions, when the state’s last clinic already moved to Minnesota.
Fuck you to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for expanding the state’s horrid “Don’t Say Gay” law to apply to grades K-12 rather than “just” K-3.
Fuck you to House Republicans for voting to ban transgender girls and women from school sports instead of banning, oh, I don’t know...assault rifles.
Fuck you to Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk for removing the platform’s protections for trans people, despite being the father of a trans daughter.

Who IS next, not who WILL be next, but rather when will they be next? Where are the Democrats SCREAMING, PARADING, PROTESTING DEMANDING…we watch, we wait, we wonder. The GOP continues to run rampant, abolishing any and all laws, rights, freedoms, and choices. Where are the Democrat politicians EACH AND EVERY DAY…ACTING UP/SHOUTING OUT/ and for the sake of this nation DOING SOMETHING, ANYTHING but wringing their hands!
