The States: Maybe A National Divorce Is A Good Idea After All

The Anchorage School District is moving into its fourth straight day of “remote learning” as the City and State governments still haven’t figured out how to clear all of the snow from last week.

Well actually, the various departments do know how to plow the streets but can’t hire plow drivers because of budget constraints thanks to various factors such as a property tax cap (thanks Koch Brothers!) that restricts the budget for the local council, an incompetent Republican mayor that is trying to contract the work out to companies that donated to his campaign, a State Legislature that only gives money to the oil companies, and an incompetent Republican Governor who doesn’t care if public schools suffer.

I think they were getting hammered on not being "fiscally responsible" so they'll blunder along some more trying to fire her for cause (which they don't have) to get their HVAC science expert in.
 
So the conservative 8th circuit has struck down the rights of citizens to file suit against section 2 of the voting rights act. They can only be filed by DOJ, and it only affects the handful of states in the 8th circuit.

according to mark elias, there have been 182 successful cases against section 2 but only 15 were filed by the DOJ

But, our courts respect precedent.

Can't be having activist judges now, can we?
 
The finalists for MN state flag are violently boring. Like, they could be the flag for any city or state in the country.

Creeping Meatballism.

They look like very low effort Winter Olympic corporate logos.

The people who make these choices are absolutely the least creative, most cautious as-shats in your state.

My favorite public submission:

Alaska's flag was designed by a fourteen year old. Just let kids submit designs and eventually you'll get one simple enough that'll work.
 
Simple can be beautiful (NM) or cool (whatever Alaska's abbrev. is). The new not racist MS flag is nice.

Pretty much every other state flag than those, CA, and IN sucks. Except SC is funny because people keep thinking it's Muzzie.
 
The one on the bottom is too busy.

The red eye loon head is creepy AF -- I like it. Is it wearing jewelry?

California, Maryland, South Carolina, the new Utah, new MS, Alaska, New Mexico are all fucking great flags. Desperately personal to the state, clean, not corporate garbage.
