This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/

tuesday was one of the year's biggest election days. i made a thread that day about the 10 most interesting (local, non-federal) elections i was watching so they get more attention. but that means i should do a thread to bring you their results! so my follow-up 🧵:

The Faux Faculty Senate are back with another round of helpful advice for our brethren throughout the state. Here we warn faculty not to teach Huck Finn or the Modest Proposal, if they know what's good for them.

our guy Sean is now live-posting the Paralympics (and I'll be posting an interview with him shortly) is he the most prominent athlete on BlueSky? I am voting yes personally

Reports coming in this morning that they've been deported to Colombia www.ktvu.com/news/hayward...

There are elections every week in March and beyond. We will continue to say NO to this putrid regime at the ballot box. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

i’m taking joy in the simple things today. i’ve been at the plant store all morning & my car is packed full of new flowers for the yard. i’m delighted.

Tori Murden McClure is the first woman to row solo & unassisted across the Atlantic Ocean. She rowed. 🚣‍♀️😮 She completed the 3,300-mile journey from the Canary Islands to Guadeloupe in 81 days in a 23-foot custom boat named the 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭. She was born #OTD in 1963. #WomensHistoryMonth

Ding dong, the witch is gone! Noem fired. Finally. Good morning, y’all. Now let’s get on with getting rid of the rest of them, please.

My slimy state senator recently sent out mailers touting legislative accomplishments for the 89th session of the Texas State legislature. In it was broadband access expansion projects. He failed to mention that the money ($3.3 billion) came from the Biden/Harris infrastructure Bill's BEAD program.

"fallen right into my lap" is an interesting phrase to describe regime change wars

Texas, time to begin Cruz Watch ⬇️

We're at war in Iran, the president is already talking about another war with Cuba, and the White House and secretary of state are spending their time doing a roundtable on Name, Image, and Likeness rights in college sports?

This was 2.17 last week.

I wonder if Claude would be “anxious” because the military is using it to bomb schoolgirls or because it’s poisoning the air around data centers or because it’s going to crash the economy or because it’s encouraged thousands of psychotic delusions or all of the above

Letting people think that they can do their own research about simple things like vaccination and make better decisions than their doctors is a terrible, terrible idea. Being sympathetic to it is almost worse.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act. We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy. New from me at @brennancenter.org:

Kinetic conflict is quite a euphemism, gives it a sciency vibe, like he's describing the difference btwn kinetic and potential energy instead of bombing elementary schools or not bombing them. news.un.org/en/story/202...

Our “acting president of Venezuela” now says “I have to be involved” in selecting the new leader of Iran. Hegseth, who has denied that the goal of the war is regime change, may want to get in touch with his own Supreme Leader so that they can keep their lies straight.

We have all been paying the Greg Abbott Corruption Tax for 12 years too long. It's simple: We pay more, and we get less, all so Abbott can do favors for his billionaire friends. So long as we have a governor who can be bought, we won't have a Texas we deserve.

War in the Middle East is good for the Texas oil and gas business, even if it’s bad for American consumers. Here's why what happens next could lead to inflation and recession. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col... #txlege @houstonchronicle.com

State Rep. Steve Toth is part of a band of conservatives known for antagonizing Republican leadership and working to push the state further right.

Gov. Polis told me that contrition and an apology are a must for Tina Peters to receive clemency. He knows she isn't at all remorseful. What if she was willing to fake it? It appears he'd gladly free her. But based on all I know about Tina Peters, I don't think she'd fake remorse

Austin Police said two people remain at local hospitals, with one in critical condition on Thursday, @citycastaustin.bsky.social reports. Fundraisers and a 5K are being hosted to help support the victims. Police said a total of 19 people were shot. thebarbedwire.com/2026/03/05/a...

i really like the 19th but uhh "steely-eyed and polished" is really giving "dapper Nazi"

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Martin Peterson once again getting it said! #LetUsTeach #LetStudentsLearn

Governor, tell Mary Moriarty to file state charges in the Pretti and Good shootings. There is literally no other way there will ever be accountability in those cases if state prosecutors won't take the lead. There is PLENTY of probable cause for indictments. It's past time to prosecute. Start.

I got a lot of attention and followers from this post, thank you for giving me the platform to share my culture with you all As u know i’m Iranian, and the US-Israel attacks have deliberately targeted hospitals and schools, my only ask from those who enjoyed my mashups is to please call ur senators

🚨 Right in the middle of the strike map US War Sec. Pete Hegseth proudly displayed at a Pentagon briefing today sits Minab — the site of a school in southern Iran where a US–Israeli strike killed 165 children this weekend. BBC’s Tom Bateman asked Hegseth whether the Pentagon knows whose munition...

People at the facilities, including children, face inhumane treatment along with inadequate food and medical care, a growing number of critics charge.

OPINION: "America’s history has shown that you can’t make a kinder, gentler form of militarized immigration enforcement any more than you can make a bomb safer once it’s dropped," Kevin Edwards writes.

Researching a 19th century white saloon owner in Austin who appears to have sponsored a black baseball team, at least for a season, I ran across a clip mentioning the specific model of pool tables (3) he installed in the 1880s -- the "Monarch" -- and it's pretty fabulous.

CNN put together a video illustrating that while Trump regime officials keep describing the Iran strikes as a "war," Republican members of Congress are using all sorts of euphemisms

Wrote a little about this attitude today! www.thenation.com/article/poli...

respectfully, putting stuff like this in my mentions is extremely annoying. i'm a texas journalist. i was born and raised here. get out of my replies with this "i will never visit texas" shit. i don't care!

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why is Sheehy not under arrest for assault?

It's another scandal for curling, this time at the Paralympics.

Feeling a righteous rage after ping ponging btwn doctor’s offices for weeks due to bleeding and abdominal pain. Turns out my IUD partially expelling out of my uterus into my abdomen. Dallas Baylor ER was only place that could help me. Women’s healthcare in Texas is very broken 😞

The Future in Texas Is Bright and Terrifying: Democrats are once more dreaming of what could be. Republicans are dreaming of Rhodesia.

This gentleman is now my Texas Congressional District Dem nominee - and I'm seeing next to nothing about him. If you're reporting on Texas Dems against multi term incumbents, this is another race to watch. [TX31 is the district who brought you Shlomi & Valentina]

Hello, Texas ... #txlege
