If you’re stuck behind the 'wall:
that one won’t let you go past captcha
Oh that’s strange, it’s displaying normally on my end without requiring any captcha…
The internet archive version hasn’t captured the full article and 12ft.io isn’t able to get behind the paywall either.
you have to be using chrome with useless adblockers for archive to work and 12ft is useless against bloomberg (unless you’re using chrome w shitty adblockers)

It’s wild we can’t even do the basics of our purported values. We can’t even do the basic fundamentals of democracy without utterly borking it and making it worse. Super simple stuff like “The people who live in a place should shape the laws of their place.” we can’t even do that.

i’m convinced it’s by design: wave the flag of democracy so that the clueless 1/3 of us will buy into it and support whatever shit you want and you’ll never have to lift a finger because that 1/3 will trip over themselves to defend their miseducation to the death.
After Jan 6th failed putsch the yuppy conservative business-owners and their dynastic families flew back to their states and began seeking power in whatever local govt positions they could muster. This often took the form of school board candidates. One by one at the local middle schools and high schools. Right-gang members came to board meetings, intimidating and fighting people. Many rightwing psychos won their race and became school board members. Which then made life hell for the queer, minority and progressive students and teachers. They began to stage ‘walk-outs’ and protests. Which often ignited brawls, fighting, police response and arrests (of children).
I remember almost a decade ago Chris Hayes wrote Colony in a Nation that went into this phenomenon. Never read it but got the gist by living in a city that has a state with “state preemption” laws
paywalled and archive.is doesn’t work; it keeps asking for captcha nonstop
UPDATE: archive.is only works if you’re using chrome and only have shitty ad blockers installed.
