Summary
A federal judge ruled parts of Arkansas Act 372 unconstitutional, blocking provisions that imposed criminal penalties on librarians and booksellers for distributing material deemed “harmful to children.”
Signed into law in 2023 by Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the act faced legal challenges from groups like the ACLU, arguing it was overly broad and could lead to censorship.
The ruling prevents enforcement of sections requiring oversight boards and criminalizing distribution of contested materials.
Sanders vowed to appeal, while library advocates hailed the decision as a victory against censorship.
I know it’s petty to criticize a name but I can’t help but thinking Huckabee is one of the dumbest rednecky sounding name every time I see her or her dad’s stupid fucking face.
“Awr shucks, I’m just a simple Huckasands and I want to take your rights away because I’m a dumb evil piece of shit waste of life”
I am at my parents for the holidays. Of course we’re watching a lot of local TV and there is a snake oil sleeping pill ad with Mike Huckabee qualifying himself to talk about pills as a 2016 presidential candidate. I hate these people.
Almost looks like she’s carrying a red lightsaber, apt.
She’s also doing the “choke” gesture Vader used when he was unhappy with one of his minions. In fact it looks like she’s doing it with both hands so there’s probably two people, or maybe two puppies, being choked just out of frame.
She’d be into that, as would her supporters.
Looking at the picture, I thought for a second that they were holding a lightsabre.
Full sith.
You know, since the world has totally lost the plot at this point, maybe we should have more fun with it on the way down
Maybe we should be cosplaying at legal proceedings and refusing to elaborate
I’m just imagining someone ranting and raving about the evils of drag shows to an audience with someone dressed like a Jedi…
It would be no less weird than Christianity
I mean, I think that of 90% of people wearing tactical cammo in the queue for MacDonald’s.
I mean, camo is like wearing a sports jersey as a shirt… Yeah, you’re not doing the activity, but it’s an expression of “this is my whole identity” that people don’t really think about too much. It’s still a shirt and/or pants
A robe is different. It’s not normal attire, no “accepted” gender normally wears a robe. It’s also formal attire, a Jedi robe is even the official dress attire for an established religion
Objectively, I agree that tactical camo at McDonald’s is equally ridiculous, but it just doesn’t have the same impact in context
Then I realised that they are really going for force choke instead.
LoOk
