A tale in four parts

[Rep. Peter Merideth @PeterforMO]

Debating the house rules on the floor today, and the first amendment offered by a Republican is about making stricter the rules of what women have to wear in here.

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

Now that Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik has shown her face, she's hard at work building her media brand — by appearing on shows like 'Shots Fired with DeAnna Lorraine,' which promotes the QAnon conspiracy theory

[Lyra, Esq., is NOT DAREDEVIL @PinkRangerLB]

JK Rowling has explicitly said she believes the money she makes is evidence that people generally agree with her views on trans people or at least those beliefs aren’t a dealbreaker to them. *You* might not think buying Wizarding stuff is supporting her views, but she sure does.

[Aubrey Hirsch @aubreyhirsch]

So some of you out there realize you need to make a phone call and just…make the phone call? Right then? Without weeks of procrastination, self-torture and emotional prep work? Wild!

If only they cared this much about a six year old when they’re the ones getting shot

[Jeff E. Schapiro @JeffESchapiro]

“⁦@GovernorVA⁩ said in a meeting with The ⁦@washingtonpost⁩’s editorial board Monday that he was saddened and shocked by the tragedy and would push for more police officers in schools and tougher penalties for crimes committed with guns.” https://t.co/A8HaGqBhCp

[terra @terrafically]

confirmation for why @blackheartsora was suspended. she replied with a FULLY CLOTHED picture of us kissing to prove matt walsh's tweet about trans people wrong. apparently matt walsh can spread lies about trans people, but if we prove him wrong we get banned.

[Lisa Bloom @LisaBloom]

Twitter workers, many of whom I represent, were FINALLY given their "severance agreements" on Saturday.

They are really settlement agreements which SILENCE WORKERS FOR LIFE and and require them to give up important legal rights.

Let's discuss. 1/

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Oh, they’re arresting and rounding up the rioters on the day itself and not letting them disappear back to their towns and homes? What a novel idea.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

1. Florida English teacher Vicki Baggett is seeking to remove 150 books from school libraries

But her former & current students say Baggett openly promotes racist & homophobic beliefs in class

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Joaquin Castro, member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has gone on CNN to say that Bolsonaro should be extradited from Florida to Brazil to face charges.

We’ll this is infuriating

[Erin Bow @erinbowbooks]

I just read -- in the book SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO by Jess Hill -- about the incident in Stockholm for which Stockholm Syndrome is named, and I am royally pissed off on behalf of all women, buckle up.

[Jing Yao @theJingster]

"I do think that after this event, there is going to be a nationwide discussion on how these sorts of things can be prevented."

Hahahahahaha

[CBC News @CBCNews]

A Virginia teacher who was critically injured when she was shot by a six-year-old student in Newport News, Va., is showing signs of improvement, the city's mayor said Saturday. https://t.co/qJh1ri5Vf5

[Zoë Schiffer @ZoeSchiffer]

Twitter had to send a 2nd email to tell people this wasn't a phishing scam. "This email was an official company communication and is not a phishing attempt," the note says. Twitter blamed "a court order obtained by plaintiffs' attorneys" for the delay in sending the agreements.

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

Minutes ago, Virginia proposed a sweeping anti trans law.

It would ban gender affirming care under 21 years old, forcibly medically detransitioning them.

It would force all government agents to notify parents in writing if kids exhibit "gender nonconformity"

This needs to stop

[Lil Uzi Hurt 🥺 @lostblackboy]

This story is wild: Leaders in Richmond, VA decided to take down racist confederate monuments. But none of the area’s major contractors—all white-owned companies—refused to do it. So one black man, Devon Henry, and his company, have overseen all the work. https://t.co/9vihDeJZIr
