Trump pardoned former Honduran Pres.Juan Hernandez who just began a 45 yr. prison sentence for bringing 400 TONS of COCAINE into the US. He was at the center of one of the largest & most violent drug-trafficking operations in the world. Found guilty by a jury of US citizens. Is this America first?

There should be a “Facebook marketplace index” that measures presidential approval trends. Because North Texas is showing signs of a tanking MAGA movement! 🧵

Anyone know what “permanently pause,” means?

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

This is NOT normal. It's weird to read a book about a unicorn sitting in paint & make it sexual. The hyper-fixation on non existent genitals & sexualizing benign stories is harmful. The book isn't sexualizing unicorns or kids, the women on the committee are. THIS IS NOT HEALTHY.

We know him!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 So proud of our cofounder, @frankstrong.bsky.social

Loving that she hasn’t deleted this & it’s just over on Twitter thriving this week.

As a censorship scholar, I'm seen it all before so nothing truly surprises me. But this is still pretty amazing.

Both male and female horses have eyelashes. Unicorns don't exist so this can't be scientifically verified. Valiant use of taxpayer money to micromanage the acceptable eyelash representation of fictional animals.

What gets me the most in this story is the gall of this woman to think she gets to come in & make this decision for every child in the district. And Sen. Angela Paxton & Dan Patrick call this stuff a win for parents rights as if 1 parent didn’t just take away the “rights” of 8000 other parents.

Shannon Hale’s response to Unicorn Eyelashgate is 👩‍🍳💋 This situation demands the John Oliver treatment @lastweektonight.com

In Texas, a new law has redefined “parental rights” to mean that a single parent now has the right to remove a book from libraries district wide because the the story of a boy unicorn with eyelashes offends them.

This thread is a MUST READ. Nothing I have read since 2021 better captures the complete insanity of the “parents rights” book-banning movement than the need to protect kids from unicorn eyelashes.

I once had a fight with my publisher's lawyer over what constitutes "fair use." He said reprinting 4 lines of a poem without the poet's explicit permission was too much. But AI gobbling up whole books now counts as "fair use." Something is definitely wrong with US copyright law.

Hate, lies, & divisiveness couched comfortably between scripture & Jesus Christ seem to perfectly capture the essence of the MAGA movement in this country.💔😢 "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain." Exodus 20:7

Lamar Consolidated ISD says an online article on Virginia has been removed due to “frontal nudity.” Visit www.txftrp.org/censorship_t... to learn more.

I know Twitter is a cesspool, but hear me out, their burn tweets are unmatched. 🔥🔥🔥

Circling back on this…

This is happening at every level of government. It’s in the play book of the far right.

Serious question to the suburban women Trump voters what do you think of this language? What do you think of threats to invade Greenland? And I don’t want to hear from the libertarian war mongering incel Russian troll accounts. Only real people with their names on their accounts.

The censorship legislation on the horizon here in Texas is going to have wide sweeping and devastating consequences- many of which we likely don’t even realize yet.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

In case you’re wondering what the mommy MAHA movement looks like in suburban Texas- here it is. There are so many things going on in this interaction, I don’t even know where to start.

Happy Inauguration Day from my Aldi here in Ft Worth Texas!

lol.

My sister worked in the Trump Whitehouse the first time around. (No she’s not a trumper- It’s a long story) But, he was never allowed out in the cold for longer than a few minutes. This is why the inauguration has to be indoors.

Let’s talk about Meta’s new policies. I don’t want to live & think in an echo chamber. But I don’t want to live in a world where unfounded opinions & conspiracies are weighted equal to verified and/or science backed news & data. Is there a scenario where good comes from this or will meta become X?

Not the tiniest bit surprised that Texas Book Banning Darling Jared Patterson blamed a small rural conservative school district for pulling the Bible off their shelves rather than accept and admit that his law- HB900- is vague & terribly written.

I finally got around to updating my website and GoFundMe today. There’s so much, that I’m breaking it into two parts. Here’s Part 1: sites.google.com/view/abmack3...

"One of our biggest concerns is that this decision isn't actually about what's best for our children's education," @laneyhawes.bsky.social said. "It is part of a political movement. It's part of an agenda." #BookBans #FreedomToRead @txfreedomread.bsky.social cbsaustin.com/news/local/s...

Hear what our co-founder @laneyhawes.bsky.social has to say about the recent move by the SBOE to prioritize turning itself into a state censor of Texas school library books. State Board of Education looks to expand control on school library books cbsaustin.com/news/local/s...

This is a lengthy but in depth and worthwhile 🧵 on the Bible infused curriculum Texas’s SBOE adopted this week. If you care about public education in Texas- and beyond- you need to understand how all the dots connect.

He looks like he’s been crying for hours as each new nomination gets announced. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

It’s almost funny until you realize it’s not. Also, did you know it’s ILLEGAL as an individual in Texas to have more than 6 sex toys?

While Trump demanded earlier that Senators start showing up to vote against Biden judicial nominees, the following Republican Senators missed the vote today as another Biden judge was confirmed: Vance, Rubio, Cruz, Cramer, Hagerty, Braun. 3 of them were with Trump & Musk watching the Space X launch.

House Republicans haven’t been able to pass their own budget for the past two years, but they are laser focused on the bathroom situation in the Capitol after wrapping up the Hunter Biden investigation.

Unsurprisingly the TX SBOE voted to approve the Bible infused ELA Curriculum for K-5 Texas public schools. As a parent of Texas public school kids, this is deeply troubling. /1

I'm in Tarrant County TX & a thorn in the side of the far right movement that has settled here. Billionaires Elon Musk & Leonard Leo have set up shop w/ a slew of elected officials ready to do their bidding. I don't have their $$ but I have an endless well of energy to fight extremist billionaires.

They’ve been doing it at the public school level for a few years. My kids district librarians don’t attend the Texas Library Association conference anymore because our school board has decided that TLA is woke and connected to the evil American Library Association.

Take comfort that someone somewhere will be keeping a quiet pockebook of all the criming that’s going to get crimed over the next four years. And one day, in the distant future, it’s going to catch up with them.
