What if I wrote a detailed, year-by-year timeline for the new Austin I-35 Project for Austin Monthly?

It would be fucking awesome and look exactly like this

Note to self- Do not watch another @iamwandasykes comedy special with your morning coffee. Choking on and spitting hot coffee hurts!
Well worth it though!!!

This is an incredible work of local news journalism from @NC5PhilWilliams. Republicans are abandoning democracy.

Whoa, just watch this entire exchange

[Isaiah Martin @isaiahrmartin]

The threat to democracy is real and in front of us. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson didn't just speak for Tennessee today; they spoke for the nation.

To top it off, Judge Kacsmaryk rejects the term "fetus" & uses "unborn human" or "unborn child" instead.

He’s literally ruling from the bench based on his religious beliefs.

Whatever you do, don’t RT this picture of what a pregnancy looks like at 10 weeks.

Don’t do it.

Don’t crush the radical religious right’s propaganda bubble by showing people what a pregnancy really looks like at 10 weeks, which is when medication abortion is usually used by.

Should these cells have more rights than women and pregnant people???

During the pandemic, Texans received extra money on their Lone Star cards through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, also known as food stamps.

That extra money ends this month. https://t.co/d3iahwRKvj

Whenever I post anything about the cops, my replies are constantly filled with people who are like "NOT ALL COPS." So l tried to put together a cogent analogy to help them understand why it IS ALL COPS. 🧵/x

2. Manny & Patricia are not a threat. The threat comes directly from MAGA members who are bought & paid for by the gun lobby. They see the failure of our government yet continue to be tireless advocates to prevent this from happening to others. They deserve an apology & ACTION.

Manuel and Patricia Oliver were removed from the hearing room

I heard a loud thud outside the room, ran out, and saw officers pinning Manuel to the ground

Rep Frost ran out shortly after:
