The GOP is advancing bills in Texas that could allow them to throw out future election results in Harris County, the state's largest Democratic stronghold. One bill would give the Republican Secretary of State the power to invalidate county election results and order a do-over if she "has good cause to believe" that at least 2% of polling places "ran out of usable ballots during voting hours" and "did not receive supplemental ballots." The other bills would allow the secretary of state to suspend and replace election administrators in Harris County and abolish appointed administrators in counties with a population of 3.5 million or more, which only includes Harris County. The proposed legislation comes as Republicans seek to make voting more difficult in the state and could undermine the democratic process.

a friend of mine said she came out to her dad as bisexual by saying, "hey... titties, am i right?"

and i'll be honest this is the kind of friend where i have NO idea if she was kidding or not

Because it's been raining the whole day, I decided to make a #BakeWithJack bread I'd never baked before, because it's quite fiddly.

Dough:
225g water
10g fresh yeast
375g strong white bread flour
5gr salt
10gr olive oil

Filling:
40g lard
100gr salami (cubed)
2 hard-boiled eggs, cut small
40gr grated pecorino cheese
1tbsp chopped thyme leaves
black pepper & salt

I used fridge bacon, supermarket 'parmesan' & rosemary because I didn't want to go out to pick thyme; sue me.

No offense, but if you don’t want to treat women who have health complications after taking an abortion pill, maybe you just don’t really want to be a doctor

Both Peter Capaldi and Sylvester McCoy have been out on the picket lines supporting junior doctors. Doctors for doctors.

Today this waterfall in Milford Sound took my breath away. #nature

If you're shocked TX Gov Abbot is planning to pardon Daniel Perry for murdering a man at a peaceful BLM march—just remember—TX is the state that sentenced a Black woman to 5 years for an uncounted ballot, but not a white male judge for deliberate voter fraud—in the same County. TX sentenced a Black kid to 10 years for punching & killing 1 person, but not an affluent white teen for getting drunk & killing 4—they had the same judge

Texas GOP has proudly chosen fascism over democracy. Believe them

If you get triggered by rainbows you don’t get to call other people ‘snowflakes.’

There is a lot going around about how the young Airman was able to gain access to classified docs. He was trained as an intel specialist and had clearance. The local command totally failed in regulatory INFOSEC procedures.

@fsinn What the actual F**K? It makes me never want to step foot in Tennessee again!

I posted something erroneous about executive orders yesterday, which some of you pointed out with facts, and some of you utilized as an opportunity to be rude. Thank you to those who educated me, and fuck off to the rest of you

A bunch of tech executives using the murder of a tech executive as an excuse to defame the poor and unhoused only to discover that the murderer is a tech executive feels like a metaphor for modern politics.

Kind of blows my mind that a 21yo was arrested with a SWAT team almost instantly after mishandling classified data but a former president is just going to skate on literal stolen boxes full of it

Lincoln attended a play, “Our American Cousin,” at Ford’s Theater, on April 14, 1865. Below, the theater as it appeared then.

RT @Alexi: 🚨 Another abortion warning sign for the GOP: Some pro-life PA voters who previously supported Trump are firmly against banning mifepristone — and view it as the latest example of GOP extremism and overreach. @axios
