You could perfectly overlay a of on the / map. The least intelligent states prefer Barbie while the most intelligent states perfect Oppenheimer. It makes sense. Those that believe the is 6000 years old don't do well with topics, like . They abide by the "keep it , " mantra, where Barbie is simple, and they're stupid.

I wonder if the same corporations that ran discredited attack therapy programs in behavior modification camps are the ones pushing for conversion camps in red states?

Is that why the GOP pushes out child trafficking conspiracies to "flood the zone" for when the camps traffic kids between subsidiary programs until funding dries up?

"Republican strongholds, such as Texas, Wyoming and Oklahoma, stand to gain hundreds of thousands of jobs in the clean-energy sector as the US moves to a net-zero economy, a new study concludes.

It finds that jobs in low-carbon industries would outweigh losses in most of the country’s fossil-fuel rich regions, as oil, coal and gas operations close down"

If fashy red states aren’t your thing, why not boycott them?

Florida thrives on Tourist dollars, spend yours elsewhere.

Marginalized folks need to ban together to end this tyranny.

across the nation keep trying to out-do each other this year in their mistreatment of kids and adults.

today, as it has been doing so often, took the lead in the race for the bottom, asserting it will steal kids away from parents (even in other states) who provide gender-affirming care for their kids.

(Given my experiences in Texas, I’d shorten the headline to “Texas is failing”.)

America’s regions are poles apart when it comes to gun deaths and the cultural and ideological forces that drive them.

What are so afraid of?

They are ignoring facts and “ruling” out of fear and ignorance.

This Canadian used to think the US would be a good place to spend my vacation dollars.

I’m recommending to my friends they resist travelling to and instead visit that protect and respect .

"Gun Violence Is Actually Worse in Red States. It’s Not Even Close.

Listen to the southern right talk about violence in America and you’d think New York City was as dangerous as Bakhmut on Ukraine’s eastern front.
(...)
In reality, the region the Big Apple comprises most of is far and away the safest part of the U.S. mainland when it comes to gun violence, while the regions Florida and Texas belong to have per capita firearm death rates (homicides and suicides) three to four times higher than New York’s. On a regional basis it’s the southern swath of the country — in cities and rural areas alike — where the rate of deadly gun violence is most acute, regions where Republicans have dominated state governments for decades."
