Nah. It’s more of a general allegory encompassing all forms of minority groups and social outcasts. Different writers and editors choose which ones to highlight. For example, while the original Lee, Kirby 60s run–and Chris Claremont during the 70s–might have emphasized disabilities, through numerous stories like Days of Future Past, God Loves Man Kills, and New Mutants #45, Claremont during the 80s prioritized race and sexual orientation.

Habba: My client & I wish to pt out Ms Carroll can sit in front of jurors every day. But my client has to choose between attending his mother in law's funeral--
Judge Kaplan: I have ruled. Sit down
Habba: I don't like to be spoken to that why. Please refrain. I am asking for an adjournment for a funeral.
Judge Kaplan: Denied. Sit down
See? There are repercussions from yesterday's outburst in court.

#EJeanCarroll's lawyers warn a judge that #Trump wants to "sow chaos" and create a "circus" at his upcoming trial, citing his five-minute courtroom tirade yesterday as evidence.
@GottaLaff@vansice@not2b my reply did not come out like intended-my apologies. I am sure he will appeal-anything to delay. But by giving him the opportunity he did, Engoron probably avoided a realistic appeal. I am all for letting #45 talk himself into further legal trouble.
Let's ponder this. Say for the purpose of discussion that this number (1265) is a fraction of the total that would support #45 no matter what. So lets think population curves, can we infer 10X (12,650) or even 100X supporters (120,650), or even 1000X (1,206,500). According to (https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/registered-voters-by-party) there are 210,000,000 registered voters. Simple math tells us this is approximately 0.57% of the voting populace. What is with the tyranny of the minority? They aren't the "Silent Majority", but rather The Vocal Minority. Why do we care? Get you and your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors to the polls. The GOP minority hates this one simple trick, VOTE.
@count_01@Teri_Kanefield@weezmgk I feel that unless #scotus knocks this in the head, it will continue to be an issue. And you all know #45 will push the limits given even the tiniest bit of van opening. That said, Teri is probably right (as always).
Former President Trump cancels plans to testify in New York civil fraud trial, calling it the usual "witch hunt" and stating he has already testified to everything.
I mean, y'all already been found guilty, they're just figuring out how deep to screw you financially. Probably a good idea to shut your gotdamn mouth now, you coprophilic asshat.
Fellow Washingtonians: Despite passage 4yrs ago, the move to DST year-round has gone nowhere due to the need for Congressional approval. To avoid the approval step, a bill has been pre-filed for the next WA leg session to permanently adopt Standard Time in the state of Washington. If, like me, you think this is a fantastic idea, let your legislators know that you support the bill here: https://app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/5795
sure we were, you forget #45? half of us voted to elect one. I’m not saying that was a good idea, but clearly, some of us were more than ready for this.
@GottaLaff I am raki g the weekend off. Have flown to Stockholm to eat dinner with a dear friend at Sweeden's best Italian restaurant and drink some fine old wine. The #45 mess can wait. Laffy, we will drink a glass in your honour. Thanks for your many toots. Sorry this such a $drity-awful mess
Hey Cannon? Recuse yourself. And I use "recuse" as a euphemism.

Hearings began this week on whether the 14th Amendment disqualifies Donald Trump from running for president in 2024 because of his actions around the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol....
Trump can’t help but violate any gag order a judge puts on him. Already a judge in NY has fined him twice for attacking his clerk and will keep ratcheting up the penalties. And he’s lucky Judge Chutkan put her gag order on hold pending appeal in his federal case because he just violated that one by attacking Mark Meadows as a witness.
It’s time to up the penalties. Put him in jail for a night next time, I say. He needs to get used to being there anyway.
@georgetakei A serious question. What would prison be like for #45? Would they really ask the SS to be there? #45 on his own would not last the First shower.
