    This is HUGE: The Texas State BOE is in charge of school textbook and other instructional content. Because the Texas education market is so large, what is approved in Texas has an impact on textbooks and educational materials used throughout the nation.

    Miller’s actions here are clearly designed to inflict pain on his child and his wife. Abusers often destroy, take, or “lose” objects of emotional value to their victims, and it’s deeply psychopathic to target a child’s beloved transitional object in this way. Miller gives family annihilator vibes. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:w3dqukp5atesznpjgcxpwjy2/post/3msf3tjipak2z

    I’ve rarely seen someone run through social capital the way Shannon Watts is in her opposition to Abdul El-Sayed with her Islamophobia thinly-veiled as noxious Second Wave feminism. Sad to see.

    People like this want public pushback because it supports their delusions of martyrdom in the name of Christianity. She is making TikTok content and hopes that witnesses will be hostile. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6wkmlbv4opeuwppxi73ozhna/post/3mrpkldu54c22

    The WHCA Dinner used to be an event at which POTUS was roasted by the press, which ostensibly served the purpose of reminding POTUS of the role of the news media as a check on executive power. Now it is a humiliation ritual for journalists, in which their very presence is evidence of subservience.

    Bonnie update: The good news is the mass is not malignant. It’s an “aural hematoma.” The bad news is it’s serious and requires surgery. The estimated total for surgery, anesthesia, and related costs is ≈$1200. People have been generous, but that is far more than I have. Please help if you can 🙏🏼 RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gvda6fem6r7selm4gzjjww4a/post/3mr2cz2t6ck27

    Not a good sign for peace that we’re now seeing a journalist reporting from a US aircraft carrier. The trade-off for such access is generally an agreement to produce uncritical pro-war propaganda. Many of us are old enough to remember how journalists were embedded with US troops during the Iraq War. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:dzezcmpb3fhcpns4n4xm4ur5/post/3mqa3jjfvir2f
