Greg Abbot called CAIR, the largest Muslim civil rights organization, a “terrorist organization” and said Muslims are a “threat to our freedom.”
The normalization of anti-Muslim hate speech is vile.
This bigot should have no place in elected office.

the OTHER thing is that no filibuster defender has yet to articulate why it is that people who happen to live in low density states not only deserve additional representation but also deserve to exercise a veto *on top of that*

one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

Alabama has just executed Anthony Boyd tonight.
Lauren Gill explained so much that went wrong in his case and trial. Important to not look away.

Alabama plans to execute Anthony Boyd next week with nitrogen gas for a 1993 murder.
No physical evidence linked Boyd to the crime.
He was convicted solely on the testimony of a co-defendant who avoided the death penalty by testifying against him.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.
Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.
In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal.
Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

once again it is not fucking normal to lower flags in oregon for random member of the opposing political party who was born in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. this is not a normal thing they're extending to a white supremacist, it's a special thing they're doing for a white supremacist
Oregon governor Tina Kotek, a gay woman, is ordering flags to be flown at half-staff to honor a podcaster who said gay people should be stoned to death.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

It's a bizarre and frankly alienating feeling realizing that if you know the basic fact that the murder rate has gone down significantly since 1990 you're in the ~90th+ percentile of fact-knowers

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️
