Nice to see him back on the right side of an issue since his sharp pivot to being a neocon.

Wait what? How'd I miss that happen?

I don’t give a fuck what Fetterhead thinks about anything anymore. He’s a prick.

I have to since I’m in PA. I mostly care because I want to see more of this….but not just a threads post, but like actual political action. Still better than Oz, but man does it sting being fooled so thoroughly.

It’s sad. Regular brain + stroke = GOP conservative thinking. Makes perfect sense.

You might be right, it’s impossible to know for sure not being in his personal circle, but if that’s the case he should have stepped down. And if he’d built a circle of staff around him that was in alignment with his previous vision, then they might have asked him to step down. Either way it’s sad and frustrating.

Hopefully y'all can primary him on the next go around. He's a huge disappointment. Practically another sinema

I've been out of the loop. What did he do?

Got a personality change from the stroke.

As someone else mentioned, he considers Israel blameless for genocide.

I hope the insurance carrier that covers this school district sends them a letter saying that their anti-litigation insurance will be cancelled in the coming year. And because they failed to "take steps to decrease bullying", all litigation claims until then will have a $10,000 coverage cap.

This should make enterprising attorneys quite enthusiastic to find students who've been buillied. I'm sure there's at least 1 trans kid out there.
