@TXSBOE do you not understand that your mandate requiring public school students to read portions of the Bible is UNCONSTITUTIONAL? Perhaps you’ve heard of the concept of separation of church and state?
You need to repeal this mandate ASAP unless you want to get sued
@felabayomi@BulwarkOnline Trump has. Vance has. Patel has. Blanche has. and I’m betting many of our Congresspeople, including Mike Johnson, have. This is the most openly corrupt administration of my lifetime — and I was alive when Nixon was President!
Mike Johnson is openly admitting he will protect criminals. That he will ignore corruption. That he DOES NOT CARE about American citizens
This man should be in prison. Not in Congress.
Mike Johnson: "If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats…will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they will go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends. Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I'll take care of you."

(Cnt) he destroys the basic rights of Americans & imprisons immigrants who are in this country LEGALLY. Oh, & he is blatantly attempting to steal an election. And yet all of you just sit back & let this evil, completely corrupt man destroy our democracy. F—- all of you cowards!!!
.@SenateGOP@SenateDems .@HouseGOP .@HouseDemocrats when are you going to stop being cowards & actually STAND UP to Trump’s evil, criminal behavior? He is literally DESTROYING the environment and killing endangered wildlife just so he & his billionaire buddies can make $. (Cnt)
(Cnt) He lies about having no money to feed Americans or to fund health care, even as he spends BILLIONS of dollars on building arches and ballrooms & funding genocide. He protects pedophiles & pardons J6 participants who later get arrested for rape, child porn, fraud, etc. (cnt)
Would the crowd still be cheering if they could see the fear, pain, desperation, and confusion in the bull’s eyes? Remember his face the next time you’re thinking about supporting this torture. #AntiBullfightingDay
“We’ll just adapt and use more fossil fuels to keep cool”.
No. We won’t. The fish won’t. The crops won’t. The trees won’t. The livestock won’t. The rivers won’t.
Nothing can adapt to a climate that gets continuously worse.
DHS is preparing to blast canyons & bulldoze roads through thousands of years of human history along the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park—where virtually nobody is crossing.
In Arizona, just a month ago, they destroyed a 1,000-year-old sacred site and faced no consequences.
Two Muslim men pulled an elderly couple and their grandson from a burning house in Leeds last Friday.
You probably didn’t hear about it.
Mohsin Qayyum. 22.
Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal. 20.
Both from Bradford.
They drove past the garden. They saw the fire. They ran straight in.
Sheila Robinson, the grandmother who was trapped inside, posted on social media:
"My family and I will be forever grateful to these young men."
Her granddaughter Kayla wrote:
"Drove past the garden, seen it, and ran straight in and made sure everyone was okay without a second thought."
Everyone got out. The house can be replaced. The family is alive.
Every outlet that covered it called them heroes.
They deserved every word.
But not one headline told you they were Muslim men.
We have seen this before.
Two weeks ago, a teacher was stabbed in the neck protecting his pupils from a knife in his Manchester classroom.
Maysum Abdullah. 27. Science teacher.
LBC named him a hero. So did the Independent, the Manchester Evening News, the Mirror, the Sun.
He ran towards the blade.
A hero in every paper. A Muslim man in none of them.
This is the pattern.
When a Muslim name appears in a crime, the faith leads the headline.
When a Muslim name appears in a rescue, it vanishes from the page.
Now look at who that erasure clears the path for.
Bradford, the same district these men come from, is now led by Reform as its largest party.
One of their candidates, Daniel Devaney, topped the poll in his ward after writing on Facebook that Muslims were "pure scum" and that he wanted to "blast [them] off the face of the earth."
He was not deselected. He was not suspended. He was elected.
They are loud about our religion when they want to call it a threat.
They are silent when that same religion sends two young men running into a fire.
The book they want to criticise is the same book that commands us to save a life.
"Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind."
— Qur'an 5:32
Qayyum and Iqbal lived that verse on a Friday in Leeds.
Abdullah lived it in a Manchester classroom.
And the headlines recorded the act, but erased the faith that drove it.
When we are the suspect, our religion is the whole story.
When we are the rescuer, it is not worth a line.
Their names are Maysum Abdullah, Mohsin Qayyum, and Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal.
Muslim men.
Say both.

Modern ships are extremely difficult for whales to avoid.
Large vessels often travel at 18–22 knots (20–25 mph). At those speeds, even a fin whale has very little time to react.
Ships also generate intense underwater noise and pressure waves that interfere with whales’ ability to detect danger. Because whales rely heavily on sound, they may not recognize an approaching vessel until it is too late to avoid a collision.
That is why reducing ship speeds in critical whale habitats has been shown to dramatically reduce fatal collisions.
If the Postal Service moves forward with President Trump's plan to restrict mail ballot delivery, I'll pursue a congressional subpoena of the Postmaster General and lead efforts to remove him from office.
No administration should be able to use the Postal Service to make it harder for Americans to vote.
🚨 BREAKING:
China confronts Trump:
Trump: "We need $2 billion daily to reopen the Strait of Hormuz."
Chinese FM: "The Strait was open before the war. The root cause is your illegal operations against Iran; you created a global crisis from nothing."
