I really need people to understand that the National Prayer Breakfast is not harmless. It is a front for an elitist, authoritarian project, and always has been. @jeffsharlet.bsky.social literally wrote the book about it („The Family“). Read it - or watch the Netflix documentary about it.

And naturally, Ken Paxton (current TX AG running for the GOP senate nomination in TX) is sharing Allred's video on Twitter.

Frankly, Allred making this into a public fight right now shows that he's putting his own ego first. We don't even know what anyone said in a private conversation but frankly it doesn't matter that much.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Also some of the best protest advice I’ve ever gotten: pretend the cops are wildlife. Scary and dangerous as they are, they’re easily spooked and they’ll lash out when they feel threatened
