Bullying. Fear Mongering. Harassment. Lies. Misinformation: Oh… That’s Just the ‘Adults’ Running for Local School Board in Erie County

Moms for Liberty (Erie County) recently sunk to a new low and posted a picture of a minor transgender student across the internet in an attempt to push their anti-trans agenda into the Orchard Park School Board race this week.

Now, the candidates in Orchard Park (Ibarra, Barlette and Wellington) have adopted a new last-minute campaign slogan and taken on a new top campaign priority… Harassing LGBTQ kids on social media.Image
Supporters of Ibarra, Bartlette and Wellington’s campaign for school board, spent the better half of last weekend bullying and harassing LGBTQ kids on their student organization’s Facebook page…Image

In Williamsville @LoveMayorDeb & her friends at ‘Williamsville Students First’ (Remember them from the trouncing they took in last year’s school board elections?) are taking a slightly different approach, falsely attacking candidate Mark Manna about his time on the town board.Image
One would think an elected Mayor would know NYS pays for DEI training, but then again, that’s why she will soon be the “former mayor” of Williamsville. #IfYouDontAlreadyKnowShesReallyDumb
Mark’s record on diversity speaks for itselfImageImage
The facts are pretty clear. These candidates and groups are desperate to inject their Christian Nationalist agendas into public schools.Stop them where you can!

‘Never heard anything so ridiculous’: Lawmaker mocked over effort to impeach Kamala Harris



Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday, following a House GOP caucus meeting in which members frantically strategized over how to stop momentum for Harris' newly kicked-off presidential campaign.

The impeachment articles proclaim that Harris has committed high crimes and misdemeanors through "incompetence" in her role as "border czar" (a position she has never actually had) and then proceed to cite several anecdotes of women killed by unauthorized migrants, as well as the fact that over 50 million fentanyl pills were seized by DEA in 2022 (even though seizures indicate the law is being enforced, and even though most of it is seized during border crossings at checkpoints, often from U.S. citizens.)

Nowhere in the resolution does it list a purported act of misconduct or abuse of power by Harris — something that was noticed by commenters on social media who roundly ridiculed the measure.

"Ogles claims in this resolution that Harris is the 'designated border czar,' a nonexistent position that Biden did not name her to," wrote immigration law expert Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, providing a link to the White House announcement on the subject. "Here is the primary source. Biden is clear that Harris agreed to lead the admin's diplomatic 'root causes' strategy only."

"These idiots need a new bag of tricks. This is so tiresome," wrote "Mrs. Betty Bowers," the satirical Christian fundamentalist persona of Canadian comedian Deven Green.

"What a stupid move," wrote the account @TisMoreorLess.

"This is great in that it shows just how panicked they are," wrote the account @SundaeDivine.

"I've never heard anything so ridiculous," wrote the account @sandiechill.

"They have nothing except their own embarrassment at this point," wrote the account @J_Pauselius.

"The Republican party is the political retribution party. They've done nothing for the American people," wrote the account @DenisonBarbs.

Ogles, who has come under fire for embellishing his political resume before being elected and has faced an ethics complaint over his campaign finances, is no stranger to pushing politically charged show bills. Last month, he vowed to introduce a "No Juicing Joe" bill that would have required President Joe Biden to disclose whenever he takes a "mind-altering stimulant."
