If the flags aren’t at half mast tomorrow, Greg Abbott? It’s on sight.

No

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

Jfc 🤦. Don Draper voice: THAT’S WHAT THE MONEY’S FOR!!!!!

Apparently our newest Nobel Peace Prize winner wrote to fucking Netanyahu for help in overthrowing the government of her own country dawg

with the caveat that there should be more reporting on this allegation, it is absolutely insane that a Republican Texas lawmaker allegedly shared a fantasy about cumming into cookie batter and then selling the cookies at a children's bake sale www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today: Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

what a fucking way to find out magic is real

ALSO, he’s not a politician. He has been elected to no office. He worked some campaigns in college then dropped out to become a full time political violence agitator. Does he “deserve” to be shot? Who cares! He got shot. And it’s not wrong to keep in mind that, had it been you, he would not care.

only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading

Wild that there is no single republican elected official alive that knows love #txlege

Civility discourse is a war on thinking and writing clearly. None of this is in defense of nuance. What civility pundits want is to be absolved of responsibility for the content of what they say, provided it's expressed in a particular way. Their fight is against judgement itself.

Extra ! Extra ! Apparently little lord Briscoe left his firearm unattended in the men’s bathroom. Seems like a real failure in terms of gun safety. A guy like that should probably have zero say in gun legislation. But I’m just a woke, crt-loving commie. what do I know. #txlege

Texas House Dems—leave. Make dps arrest you. The more media attention the better. Clearly Rs don’t want much debate, they want to pass it and move on so they are no longer under scrutiny. #txlege

VAP: voting age population CVAP: citizen voting age population they aren’t telling you they also used EVAP—eligible voting age population—to dilute votes by including the prison populations in red districts. #txlege

Best option for Texas house dems is to leave the chamber, disperse in different directions and make DPS waste time running around after them. It would be a great publicity stunt, bring more media attention, and stop the vote. But it would also be hilarious, to me, personally. #txlege

Well I don't yet have video but don't want to forget to share: Today a group including 2 constituents went to #txlege member Morgan Meyer's district office to express concerns about redistricting & deliver a letter. Building management refused entry to the building, even to the constituents. 1/4

this dc situation looks pretty horrible. i wish i had more to say except that autocracy is always mundane and petty and vicious and encourages you to look away and be safe. and you can live quite normally under it until you're a direct target

if "bigballs attacked by two 15 year olds" is our Reichstag fire then i officially declare an end to history because we don't want anybody reading that shit later

can anyone formally ask them to do stuff or just people who fucking suck

I am begging y'all to stop calling the militarization of a major city a "distraction". If *YOU* would rather think about Epstein--- and not about the forced mass displacement of human beings--- then just say that.

YES, you dizzy heaux.

Love and art are the only real things. All human experiences are sold back to us as content to consume. Diversify where you find connection, entertainment, snd knowledge. Minimize getting those things from capitalist sources. We are indeed frogs in boiling water, but good news!

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

Okay as long as they stay out until November, the maps have to remain the same for the midterms, baby #txlege

Is it legal to suspend direct deposit for quorum breakers? #txlege

The FBI has no business—or legal authority—to track down Texas House Democrats. The list of people willing to abuse their power to help Trump steal five congressional seats is growing. It’s a threat to the rule of law and our democracy. www.expressnews.com/politics/tex...

"...it sums up the lapdog state of Texas leadership in Austin, where extremism has replaced reason, entitlement has trumped mutual respect and acquiescence to Trump has blown away the last gritty residue of independence clinging to some West Texas lawmaker’s boot." #txlege bit.ly/3UiHC79

Imagine if Greg Abbott put this much effort into life-saving flood relief. Or raises for workers. Or health care. Don’t fall for these political games. We support Chair Wu. Thank you for fighting for Texas workers! #txlege

Watch this be completely demolished because black lives do not matter to people in power, and we certainly can’t be having woke cemeteries indoctrinating our children #txlege

We’ve descended into fascism so rapidly, I’m almost ready to believe we’ll wipe ourselves off the face of the earth by December.

caring about things? what are you, some kind of queer? shut up and eat your slop

Covid vaccines saved millions of lives and won the Nobel Prize and this hungry ghost just cancelled the program that brought them to us. (Gift link)

If it's "up to Israel," how about we cut off their weapons and let them decide their own fate, you disgusting genocidal pig?

the purpose of this is to make racism not just acceptable but mandatory. nationwide Jim Crow, controlled by a network of neo-Nazi political commisars who report directly to the executive.

He’s not wrong. But when will dems say what they will do, instead of just that the other guys are bad?

Just a polite reminder that we owe the concept of zombies to voodoun/Haitian cultures as an externalization of the fear of being compelled to labor beyond what was supposed to be the Absolute Freedom of death.

narrator: the legislators are paid $13,400 every 2 years. they should listen to you, but not because of their pay. if we paid them a living wage, more people who are not independently wealthy could afford to run for office. #txlege

Ruth Wilson Gilmore said, “No abolitionist who is a true abolitionist wants to save money. What we want is for the money to be spent, to enhance, and support human life so that it can flourish in a way that doesn’t destroy the planet. We’re not about cost-savings.” Save lives, not money.

Just because you are allowed to, doesn’t mean you should. Cc Texas Rs #txlege

🚨Wannabe Dictator Abbott is threatening to unilaterally remove nearly all Texas Democrats from office.🚨 Join me today for an emergency march and picket at 5:30pm today outside the governor's mansion. RSVP for more details --> facebook.com/events/s/eme...
