Texas GOP...cold, heartless bastards. From the attached article...
"In the State House, Republican members talked and joked among themselves as another Democrat, Representative Jarvis Johnson of Houston, rose to discuss gun control. “This is not a joke — this is real,” he shouted from the lectern at his colleagues on Friday. “Children every day are dying.”"
1/ New in my newsletter: Trump said he intends to turn education into political indoctrination & virtually no one noticed. It’s easy to brush it off & say he can’t; easy to sit on the sidelines & watch like frogs, being boiled. That would be a mistake. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-ahead-d2e

THERE IS RICH PRIVILEGE IN EVERY STAGE OF AMERICAN LIFE! YOU WOULD THINK THAT AMERICA HAD ENOUGH OF THAT SHIT AND YET HERE WE ARE!
@AmishSuperModel You’ve basically summarized my unpopular take on guns here.
If you think “it’s neat” to collect machines designed to kill people, or feel unsafe without machines designed to kill people, then I think that’s a mental health issue. 🤷
The full quote and where Ike said it.
"I think the women, therefore, must be concerned with these values, and I return to my statement that if a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power." - President Dwight David Eisenhower, at the Fourth Annual Republican Women's National Conference (6 March 1956)
Hi guys! Sorry to be Debbie Downer tonight, but it seems that among the dead from the mall shooting in TX last night are a 3 yo kid, and a mall security officer.
I have a handful of unarmed security at my ER. They’re mostly big-hearted gals and guys who would rather bullshit with someone in crisis than call the cops or be a dick.
What a fucking country…
Unexpected visitor on #SilentSunday a friendly Iguana pops in to enjoy the view of the tranquil lake waters framed by old trees.

San Francisco stores: We are closing because of crime! Unless you give us a huge tax break hint hint.
SF Mayor: We can't give you a tax break because we spent all our money on police. Would you like some extra police instead?
Stores: Well actually we may have been fibbing a little about the crime, which statistics show is in fact down. But we really could use that tax break.
Mayor: More police it is!
The Allen, Texas mass shooting suspect was wearing a “right wing death squad” patch, according to documents reviewed by @RollingStone.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
