The University of Alabama at Birmingham is rolling over to Trump and his acolytes in the state, rather than stand up for editorial independence.
The Alabama legislature passed a bill in late March requiring all state and local entities to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America,” in line with one of the many executive orders Trump signed on his first day in office. The legislation does not set forth penalties for noncompliance, but its sponsor, state Rep. David Standridge, called it “an opportunity to make a patriotic statement” on the House floor in January. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a Trump ally, signed the bill into law.
Birmingham public radio station WBHM told its listeners in a letter from Will Dahlberg, the station’s executive director and general manager, that due to the law, which took effect October 1, the University of Alabama at Birmingham is forcing it to use the legislature’s preferred language in its reporting.
If someone tries to force me to call it gulf of America I’m putting asbestos into their cars air conditioner filter. Have fun with mesothelioma pissrag.
Yeah. That risk of maybe killing them in 20 years if they breath in enough of it is just terrifying. “Woo… the possibility of a risk is just going to get 'em.”
Asbestos doesn’t work that way.
Dude plays the long game. Respect.
Oh I don’t want to kill them, I want to cripple them.
Also if I’m being completely honest I say enough violent shit that I’m basically addlibing it at this point, most of them hit but yeah that’s most not all. Also I knew a man who died to mesothelioma shits horrific, would definitely wish it apon my enemies it’s just a shame a good man died to it.
