is this real?

Wtf…

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill that will nullify local laws mandating water breaks for construction workers — despite Texas being first in work-related heat exposure deaths. Unions expect the number of deaths to go up if mandated water breaks go away. https://t.co/oM0meXiw3a

@WorldAndScience Or is it just a fairy tale, that mathematicians made up to force old formulas fit new data, and has been completely unable to be proven in any way, despite millions being poured into attempts at experiments trying to find it?

One week ago we launched our campaign to defeat Ted Cruz and ensure that Texans have a Senator who cares about serving them.

I've been humbled by the outpouring of support we've received so far. Let's keep it going—join our team: https://t.co/2dROrrPU0n

New: U.S. Rep. Colin Allred announced Wednesday he is challenging U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz for reelection. https://t.co/kH3H3o7bKY

[Colin Allred @ColinAllredTX]

I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself.

Join our campaign today: https://t.co/2dROrrQrPV

Hopefully the headgear was ok.

Officer Jeff Smith died by suicide two weeks after the Jan. 6 riot.

Footage obtained by HuffPost from Smith's body camera shows what he experienced that day.

The dark history of this day will never be rewritten or forgotten, we will NEVER forget.

CW for thread: Language and violence

Several anti-drag groups including avowed Neo-Nazis, "White Lives Matter," Proud Boys, Patriot Front, and non-affiliated conservative activists protested outside a drag show today at a public park in Wadsworth, Ohio.

"Pedophiles get the rope!" chanted an armed neo-Nazi group waving swastika flags at the families attending the all-ages event. "F***s go home!"

"Sieg Heil," they chanted while pointing stiff-arm salutes at attendees. "There will be blood!"

"Hey, there's a gay n****r right there!" yelled one of them.

BREAKING: Several hundred pages of private texts, emails and testimony from Fox News executives and journalists have just been released in the Dominion lawsuit.

They show that after colleagues called Arizona in favor of Joe Biden, Tucker Carlson wrote to Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, saying "We devote our lives to building an audience and they let Chris Wallace and Leland Vittert wreck it.”

All Carlson cared about was his audience size, not the truth.

In a separate text message, Maria Bartiromo started crying conservative tears, and was obviously in denial that Biden had won, writing, “OMG, I’m so depressed. I can’t take this. I told my team we are not allowed to say pres-elect at all. Not in scripts or in banners on air."

Hmm, interesting. I’ll have to check it out.

@the_transit_guy Is this game any good? I’ve looked before for a city builder that doesn’t require roads/cars but haven’t found one. I just want to design a city that only has walking / biking / trains!

[Dan @DanAfterDark]

@mattyglesias Also, would be very interested to see the calls behind these…. How are you comparing the cost of a “computer software” in 2000 to now? Also my gut says there is no way cell phone service is cheaper today than 20 years ago…

[Dan @DanAfterDark]

@alanthefisher Definitely Dallas. Such a shame too. We have a huge light rail network, that has gotten tons of investment, but the absolute stupidest design. See the airport stop that is a 40 minute walk from the airport. Or the university stop that is on the other side of an interstate

[Dan @DanAfterDark]

@sullydish Which government agency is forcing parents to take their kids to these events? Politicians should definitely remove that power from those agencies.

@mtgreenee Man that sucks. I was attacked and screamed at in 2018 by an insane woman named Marjorie Taylor Greene. She had no respect for the privacy of me as an 18 year old school shooting survivor or my staff.
She was self righteous, insane, and completely out of control.

- @RepSwalwell SLAMS @mattgaetz for bringing “somebody that he met at a gun club” to the first House Judiciary Committee hearing to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

Gaetz’s honored guest was charged with killing a family member in April 2019.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Blood boiling.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Must watch.

Trans Rep Zooey Zephyr just gave one of the fiercest speeches on the Montana House floor against a bill that bans drag and could target Pride.

They interrupted her several times to stop her when she spoke about how it affected the trans community.

She persisted.

Pete Buttigieg is just so good at this.

This video compilation is devastating for Republicans.
