Alyssa Edwards is a classy queen through and through. Ken Paxton is fucking desperate, clearly.
A tweet from Alyssa Edwards with the text: "An open letter to @KenPaxtonTX" with two images of the letter attached. Those two images are attached and have the text of the letter in the alt text. Page one of an open letter from Alyssa Edwards to Ken Paxton which reads:

Ken Paxton,

Hello there. I'm not sure I fully understand your motive or intention in attempting to disparage my name, my character, or my reputation. But I do know this: the way we choose to speak about others often says far more about our own character than it ever will about theirs. 

As a Texan and a very proud one at that, I would hope that your focus would remain on policy, leadership, and what time intend to provide for the future of ALL Texans. 

And since you wanted your followers to meet me, allow me to properly introduce myself.

My name is Justin Johnson, born-and-raised, in Mesquite, Texas. I am one of seven children. I am an educator of 30 years, a choreographer, an entertainer, a mentor - and yes, I also happen to be a drag performer. Inspired by Miss Doubtfire and Patrick Swayze in "To Wong Foo".


My career has taken me places I could never have imagined. I have appeared on America's Got Talent alongside my students, competed on Amazon's The GOAT, ABCs To Tell the Truth, and had the honor of winning RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars, where I proudly represented the United States of America. 

Cont.The second page of an open letter from Alyssa Edwards to Ken Paxton: 

But among all of those accomplishments, one of the things I remain most proud of is Beyond Belief Dance Company. 

What began as a community recreation program at a YMCA,a grew into a place where generations of young people have been encouraged to discover their creativity, ignite their passion, develop discipline, and, perhaps most importantly, believe in themselves. I have devoted more than half of my life to that purpose. Watching my students go on to attend college conservatories, pursue professional dance careers, and become meaningful contributors to society has been the greatest reward of all. 

I also grew up in the Baptist church, and my Christian faith remains part of my story. My life may look different from yours, but difference does not diminish character, faith, service, or a person's ability to contribute to their community. 

Ultimately, I am proud of who I am. I know who I am. I know what I stand for, and what I still hope to accomplish. 

And if you happened to catch my Netflix docuseries along the way, I sincerely hope you enjoyed it. 

(Bolded by Alyssa for emphasis) Texas is big enough for all of us. 

With Texas pride, 
Justin Johnson

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

If I were the chair of the DNC and a Democratic gubernatorial candidate was attacked in the critical midterm election year, I’d probably highlight the fact that Donald Trump and the right have been stoking political violence for years with conspiracy bullshit and civil war rhetoric.

ACTION ALERT 🚨 Right now, the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill to restrict bike lanes. Tell Congress: funding for bike safety projects MUST continue! Take action: action.bikeleague.org/page/101946/...
Action alert graphic. A man holds a sign next to a bike lane that says "Everyone deserves safe streets!" Below the image is white text on a black background: "Tell congress: Funding for Bike Safety Projects MUST Continue! bikeleague.org/action-center"Action alert graphic. White text on a black background: "Congress Must Save America's Bike Lanes
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy erased the data that shows bike lanes reduce crashes and don’t cause congestion. Then he asked Congress to defund all bike lanes — and even remove bike lanes from busy roads.

Now, Congress may be listening: the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict what kinds of roads could have bike lanes on them at all. 

We need everyone in Congress to hear us clearly: bike lanes save lives and bicyclists have a right to ride on the roads and get home safely. 

Tell your elected representatives: vote NO on any transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict the ability of federal funding to be used on bike safety projects. bikeleague.org/action-center"

It’s true that Dolly Parton was a country music icon. But far more importantly, she was a human decency, kindness, empathy & generosity icon. And we lose her at a time when those traits are more urgently needed than ever, especially in the USA. As we honour her remarkable life, honour those traits.
