We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
Abbott has forgotten who he works for.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.
We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.
We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

The Trump administration has halted $1 billion in funding for mental health services for children, claiming that the programs, which were established under a bipartisan law aimed at curbing gun violence in schools, are no longer in “the best interest of the federal government.”

#1stLinePit Rules: - A pitch event for writers to hype and support each other - All genres and all stages of writing are welcome (e.g. writing, editing, querying, on sub, already published) - Use #’s to specify genre and status of the book, see next slide for examples - Only one post per novel. If you have several novels, you can pitch them all, but only post once per hour - Share one or more of your opening lines in the body of your post—you should share no more than can fit into a post - Feel free to add moodboards, GIF’s, images, agent’s guide, or anything you want to your post - Agents/editors/publishers are invited to participate (just “like” any pitch you’re interested in) - Most important rule: comment, like, repost, and engage with others—and have fun! :D
#1stLinePit – New Rule: Issue: During our last round of #1stLinePit, some agents commented that it was hard to determine their interest based only on the first few lines. Solution: This round, you must still share your first lines in THE BODY of you post, but you’re also allowed to share your pitch, agent’s guide, a link to a previous pitch, you’re entire first page, or anything you want in the attached images / moodboard.

Call Congress for our libraries. Show up for our libraries. American library association.
ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."
I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.
Fantastic response! Motivating and inclusive.
