Thank you, Elon, you finally got me to log off here! Find me @forrest4thetrees.bsky.social
This tweet has been in Drafts for a while, just waiting for the right moment to push "post" on this panting call to crack down on dissent. No one is safe from political violence and no one is safe from those who would cynically capitalize on it.
The last time the radical Left orchestrated a wave of violence and terror, J. Edgar Hoover shut it all down within a few years. It is time, within the confines of the law, to infiltrate, disrupt, arrest, and incarcerate all of those who are responsible for this chaos.
If I wanted to watch snuff films—I don't—I would've gone to NarcoTube. This place fucking sucks.
NEW from me: @jamestalarico is Texas Democrats’ answer to Christian Nationalism. But does he have a prayer? texasmonthly.com/news-politics/… #txlege
NEW: I chatted w/ @GregCasar this week to discuss his project to reclaim the working class. It's all about unapologetic "economic populism" and calling out "villains" like Elon Musk. And when Dems take power, they can't abide by “guardrails " of the past. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
I was on the Austin City Cast pod this morning to discuss the Trump-ordered Texas gerrymander and what it means for Austin, @LloydDoggettTX and @GregCasar Warning: I had a terrible cold so I sound like death warmed over austin.citycast.fm/podcasts
NEW from me: Dade Phelan had a good run but, alas, he kicked his own ass on the way out the door. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/… #txlege
Are the government minders gonna follow them into the bathroom? Help do the dishes? Tail them to and from HEB? We are all exploring together the layout of the authoritarian cage being built up around us.
There is one Democrat still locked into the House chamber because she refuses to sign her permission slip. Rep. Nicole Collier will be here until, well, I guess we’ll see. Members are really not happy with the individual DPS escorts. Say they are not free to move on their own.
This is, quite literally, fake news. They showed up and established quorum, symbolically walked out, and two returned to vote on the bill anyway. You must never accuse the Texas Democratic senators of fighting back
MASSIVE BREAKING: Texas Senators Walk Out of chamber refusing to vote on gerrymandering. This is how you fight back and for democracy.
You can't breathlessly report this as some major throwdown without noting that two Democrats stayed in their chairs to vote; that the maps passed 19-2; and that this is NOT a quorum break like in the Texas House b/c it takes all 11 Senate Democrats to leave to deny quorum.
MASSIVE BREAKING: Texas Senators Walk Out of chamber refusing to vote on gerrymandering. This is how you fight back and for democracy.
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my…
Hey, it's a buddy movie with me and @cd_hooks We look at the Texas Democrats who *didn't* leave the state to stop the steal (GOP gerrymander)—do they constitute a "cuckus" or are they just realists? texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
NEW: Trump's hiring freeze scuttled a key, federally-funded role in Texas's emergency response apparatus. The person was selected in Jan. and would've been in place @TDEM well ahead of the July floods. Their job: help translate warnings into action. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
The Molly Ivins quip about a Pat Buchanan speech—"It probably sounded better in the original German"—is getting a workout these days.
