No one should be shocked, of course. Two years ago, I reported that the Texas GOP party platform included an “equal protection” plank—a call for abortion patients to face homicide charges. But at least then they weren't bragging about it on Facebook. They sure are now!

I've been tracking abortion 'abolitionists' since the end of Roe—told it was a waste of time because they were fringe extremists with no real power. Now, over a dozen states have considered their legislation and so many of them are running for office that I'm putting together an election guide 🫠

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public. Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkCz...

Downtown Houston last week, someone gave a well known homeless person these. He said $50 on each! We offered him some cash and he wouldn't take it! We bumped into him later and bought him some Franks Pizza slices Well. Here we are. Great food! We will be buying our street friend a lot more pizza

We are spoilt for choice- 2 great candidates. For me based on a close look at the data and witnessing the destructive misinformation on the hell site by outside Dem influencers (can only imagine Facebook and the rest) the best person to navigate the difficult path is @jamestalarico.bsky.social

For Houstonians about to start to vote next week, this shows the path to the Texas Senate seat in November 1. Election results - Beto v Cruz 2. Election results - Allred vs Crus 3. TX demographic (not same as HXT's 33%/33%/33%) 4. Where are the Latino populations. (& some white rural voters)

A win.. (One of the purposes of "flooding the zone with shit" is to drown out the many victories)

Pam Keith@pamkeithdc.bsky.social

Senate Dems are going to fully fund ICE if they agree to more body cameras. And that, boys and girls, is why the republic is crumbling. We do NOT need more video of ICE atrocities! We have plenty. We need to STOP the atrocities, PERIOD! Defund ICE or go to hell. That is all.
