#BREAKING🚨

#Texas State Board of Eduction APPROVES controversial proposal to allow #Bible infused teachings in public schools.

Schools decide if they want to use the material - if they do - they get a big boost in funding. Final vote coming Friday - no changes expected.

A short thread on what refusal to comply can look like, with specifics, examples, and ideas for what the future may hold.

Actually IDK if it's gonna be short, but it's gonna be specific, so read on if you're curious.

An attack on the only kosher restaurant in DC on the eve of Kristallnacht is designed to terrorize Jews. It is a sign of how emboldened the forces of antisemitism have become in the aftermath of October 7th.

Words have consequences. Hate hardens into violence. Those who insist on inciting hatred against both the Jewish People and the Jewish State are sowing the seeds of pogroms and Kristallnachts in the 21st century. History will not judge these Jew haters kindly.

I tried. We tried.

I tried to educate people about tariffs, I tried to explain that undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes and are the foundation of this country.

I explained Project 2025, I interviewed to show that they supported it.

I can not compete against the propaganda machines of Twitter, Fox News, JRE, and NY Post. These spaces will continue to create reality unless we create a more effective way of reaching people.

This is not a joke.

You should very much consider Elon Musk and Peter Thiel to be co-Presidents of the United States.

You will not understand how they have become the first trillionaires on Earth, or a significant chunk of our domestic or foreign policy, if you do not get this.

This is serious. Russia knows what’s coming, but the American people don’t. “The world will never be the same.” This was a long fought objective of geopolitics. America was duped by traitors from within who were supported by enemies from without.

People are so simple minded.

They voted for Trump because prices are too high.

Prices are too high because of corporate greed. If they think Trump is going to reign in corporate greed, they are in for a rude awakening.

[Michael J. Stern @MichaelJStern1]

Harris ran a great campaign and lost.

Trump ran a horrible campaign and won.

It's not the campaign, or the policies, or the economy . . . it's the ability to openly express hate and bigotry like the president does and get away with it, because if he does it, you can too.

Because I am getting this question dozens of times in my DMs from trans people/parents... If you're trying to move for safety:

Countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, France.

States: Any blue state on my risk assessment map, which I'll update post-election.

How did Trump increase his share of voters but end up with 3 million fewer votes than 2020?

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

None of the results make sense. Not a single data point. Fewer voters showed up for Harris than Biden after she energized crowds more than Obama and broke fundraising records? Over 15 million Dems stayed home on the most consequential election of our lifetimes? I’m not buying it

[Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆 @RachelBitecofer]

Why yes, actually. This is what the Nazis ran into and why they turned to mass murder in gas chambers instead.

I spent the last four years studying the Nazis. I am ready for this moment at least.

[Outspoken™️ @Out5p0ken]

Kamala Harris has conceded.

Jack Smith is talking with the Justice department on how to end prosecutions of Donald Trump.

[Michael J. Stern @MichaelJStern1]

The United States is about to become a threat to global security.

I do not think people appreciate how bad it can be.

[Michael J. Stern @MichaelJStern1]

I'm sorry Ukraine. So genuinely sorry.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

In the coming days there's gonna be a lot of opining about what the Harris campaign did wrong, but this election was not an indictment of Kamala Harris. It was an indictment of America.

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

It would be difficult to overstate what a bad night this is for Democrats in Texas. You would really have to try hard #TxLege

@KateD7 @RBReich Thank you for caring!
