You underestimate New York's love for a good drinking holiday. We even have two St Paddy's Day parades; one in Staten Island and one in Manhattan, each on different days so we can celebrate longer.

In 2020, March 17th (St. Patricks day) was the day Desantis initiated the "lockdown" and closed all bars and nightclubs for 30 days. Trump declared it a national emergency on the 13th. Maybe they really just dislike St Patricks day, because suddenly they were all about re-opening everything for Easter

We steeped our tea in saltwater, holy hell I could not imagine them trying that in Boston

Tbf: brown people too.

And "the gays".

That's just a Tuesday for them

This gets upvoted but remember 3 million of us did try to vote him out. And near 4 million for Angie Nixon this year.

I regret to inform you the Irish sre not sufficiently white.

No, not confusion, straight stupidity

recoil damage from thier attacks on "others"

They're gonna be pissed because they wanted cancel culture just not cancel their culture

i'm not sure "ironic" is the right word. this was always the goal. they don't care about cancel culture in general, they only care about backlash against other republican losers. they're just serial liars and they have always been like that. even when "party of small government" was their primary marketing phrase, they were still giving the government more power over individuals. it's not really irony, it's just fascists lying.

there's a well known sarte quote about it, you've probably read it before.

If it weren't for projection the GOP would have no agenda at all.

aka=thought police in essence. very close to being vice of virtue police that S.A has.

secretely destroying the gop from within also.

This could be in NotTheOnion

And through the wonder of crossposting, it now is! 🥳

That was my initial thought, but after reading the article it's unclear.

The city said in a statement that restrictions ​under ⁠the law "include certain programming and activities designed or implemented with reference to ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity."

Ok. So the city says it is restricted by the law.

However, Mayor ⁠Tom Carney said on social media the city was "working feverishly ​with ⁠multiple entities to ensure the ‌2027 St. Patrick's Day parade goes on as scheduled."

Does the Mayor not represent the city?

“I cannot go into details now, but I will bring you the updates as things progress with our negotiations."

Who is the city and Mayor negotiating with?

By best guess is city lawyers recommend to the Mayor that all parades be cancelled, because providing funding could open them up to a lawsuit. I'm guessing the negotiations are with a third party who can provide the funding.

The "concern" is that the law prohibits the government from promoting diversity-oriented events, not that it prohibits them from happening independent of the government.

I know--I'm no fun. I do appreciate that this is almost certainly malicious compliance.

You should get a bidet. Squeeky clean.

forgot desantis lost relevance after he dropped out of the race for presidently 3 years ago.

No, they're allowing the Cinco de Mayo celebrations to happen so they know where to direct ICE to kidnap and murder citizens. Fuck ICE!

meth+ gator people.

Or, you know, we could just bring dye packets to the bar EVERY time we're feeling a wee bit Irish 🤷🏻
