Names and "affiliations" may change, yet history repeats itself.

All of this is so deeply upsetting because children will have preventable febrile seizures, mothers may miscarry due to untreated fever, and some pregnancies will be more challenging due to unmanaged pain. There are no upsides to this reckless misinformation from the top just harm and pain.

It never EVER stays in Texas. Or Alabama. Or the South.

ProPublica and @theassemblync.bsky.social have been reporting on the impact of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina, and we know recovery is far from over. If you’re in the process of rebuilding, we want to hear from you ⤵️

Nobody who voted to confirm this self-absorbed, incompetent, arrogant dingbat can claim to support the troops.

I miss the dove who'd coo into our fireplace each morning. A very chatty songbird replaced it - and now I have very very bad thoughts ...

The forests that once sheltered the small town of Roseland are turning brown. Now, many residents are left wondering: Is what was left behind after the Aug. 22 blast safe? If it’s making the trees ill, what about them?

Yep. And it won't be confined to Texas, Tenessee, OK, etc if the Christian Nationalists keep getting their way. So spare me the "I'll never set foot in Texas" crap unless you're willing to materially help those of us who live and work here get out.

Just read "maintaining" as "remaining" re this great resource. [Sigh]

We are disappointed and dismayed that @leanderisd or any other Texas district would preemptively remove titles from our kids’ classrooms like these. The law doesn’t require it and students deserve access to diverse reading material. www.fox7austin.com/news/leander...

So, how's the Allred for Colin campaign going (and NOT amongst the "influencers" way the eff outside my state who pushed him last round)? Anyone?

The U.S. is #1 for science - we are simply the best. The place everyone wants to come. We're the reason the language of science is English. Every action this administration takes on science is putting a knife into that, killing it by a thousand cuts. And it will be dead before media notice. 2/

🖐️ Raise your hand if you're in this picture. New report from @epi.org shows that teacher pay is falling further and further behind other college graduates. It's beyond time to end the starving of public schools. Read more: www.epi.org/publication/...

Hi @aaron.bsky.team, What’s with the sudden flood of Amazon product ‘influencer’ bots on here over the past 24 hours?

So, a meeting that could have been an email, and that email should have been left in draft.

"guide traffic with his gun" has got to be one of the worst IRL things I've read today and WHY isn't Maryland saying anything about this entire event??

10 wolves have already been killed in MT since hunting season opened last week. Killing wolves is neither supported by science nor ethics, yet it becomes a reality when wolves lose federal ESA protections. As the numbers climb, how many more wolves will be lost without reason?

Superintendent Ian Roberts of Des Moines Public Schools was detained Friday by federal agents. The reason for his detention was not clear, according to the school district. Roberts’ whereabouts are also, alarmingly, unclear. trib.al/whQu81b

UT Austin implements the #txlege demand that faculty not have an actual elected voice; instead the “faculty advisory board” will be picked by the administration. This should, in a functioning system, put UT’s accreditation at risk.

This memo comes ahead of State Senator Brandon Creighton taking over as Chancellor. Creighton supported the anti-trans legislation cited in the memo and aggressively pushed anti-trans measures through his K-16 education committee. ##txlege

Via @iowacapitaldispatch.com: The superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to a message from the district board, with no information as to why he was arrested or what will happen next.

Oh we're defining Antifa by using "anti-Christian" beliefs and actions? So bearing false witness is Antifa? Not caring for those in need is Antifa? Using the name of the Lord in vain is Antifa? Loving yourself more than others and the Lord is Antifa? Bad news for those at 1600 Penn.

This is likely the largest UN walkout of an Israeli leader in history. It should serve as a wake-up call for Israelis that Netanyahu is burning Israel's global support to shield himself from his own failures. Israel's fate should not be tied to him nor his extremist allies. Time to change course.

If you're a student at Angelo State University (or know one!!) with thoughts on the school's new policy barring discussions of transgender identity in classrooms, I'd love to talk to you for a story I'm working on. DM me on here, or find me on Signal at kissphoria.57

Connect the dots. First Trump/Miller associate Texas ICE shooting with liberal *groups* and anti-ICE *rhetoric.* Then they announce they will investigate/prosecute groups that they can somehow link to political violence. The Texas shooting is becoming the pretext. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2009...

Let's stop using "unprecedented" to describe much happening in this world.

I'm hesitant to re-post the video of this unidentified federal agent who threw a women to the floor in New York yesterday. But I want people to see his face, and to consider that he very likely abuses other women when he's off camera. We pay his salary. For now.

The parents of the last missing girl from Camp Mystic, the Christian girls’ camp where 25 young campers and two counselors died during the July 4 flooding, blasted its recent decision to reopen one of its campsites in 2026.

Oh yeah...speaking of those higher deductibles/co-pays, there's ANOTHER change made by the Trump Regime (technically via RFK Jr. & Dr. Oz) which will INCREASE the maximum out of pocket costs by around $900/yr more than they otherwise would have increased. acasignups.net/25/07/30/war...

We have a problem when we take our law enforcement and dehumanize them and turn them into instruments of fear, we break public trust. Public safety depends on a strong, positive relationship between officers and the community. I spoke with CNN’s John Berman about the Dallas ICE shooting.
