Read this thread. What do you call someone who has a problem criminalizing something which any sane person can see should be a crime?
1/ Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed legislation called the Safe Outdoor Dogs Act.
It would have made it illegal to chain up dogs and leave them without drinkable water, adequate shade or shelter.
It also called for a ban on tethering dogs with heavy chains. bit.ly/3gNpj5G

The Founders debated the filibuster and decided against it for good reason. It isn’t foundational to the way the Senate operates; it’s a relic of the Jim Crow era. You can’t keep asking people to vote for you if all you do is give them excuses every damn time. @TheDemocrats

“What came after the Gilded Age? The progressive era,” says @ninaturner. “We are doing that same dance in the 21st century. That just increases my resolve to do what I am doing right now.” GO NINA!!! dailyposter.com/big-business…

This is seriously bad. In any European country it would be seen as ludicrous. (Social Security originated with the Socialist Party, by the way). #MakeNoise #ThisNeedsToChange
New US military training document calls socialists a "terrorist" ideology and lists them alongside "neo-nazis" amid Pentagon crackdown on domestic extremism, per counterterrorism training material leaked to me:

You’re referring to a part of my book “A Return to Love” but completely mischaracterizing it. You might want to read it for yourself to see the truth.

Lawmakers are passing “anti-protest laws” though the Constitution specifically guarantees *the right to protest*. Remember - democracies don’t always die due to one swift action; it’s the accumulation of things like this that do it in. truthout.org/articles/over-1…

It’s true. The Chinese have 20,000 miles of high speed rail tracks already and another 20,000 under construction, plus ten huge hubs. We are pitifully behind others in the world (also Spain, UK, France etc) on this.
