I guess all Texans should vote for @nathanjohnsontx.bsky.social for AG then, huh?

Here's who online anonymity is for. expression.fire.org/p/in-defense...
So who, exactly, is anonymity for?

It’s for a teenage girl who lost her mother when she was young, just got her period for the first time, and is too embarrassed to meet with a school nurse.

It’s for a 45-year-old who hasn’t drunk in years but is realizing that he’s struggling with his sobriety again and needs to talk privately about it.

It’s for a woman coming to terms with the fact that her boyfriend is abusive, and figuring out how to get away from him without his knowledge.

It’s for a Chinese immigrant who wants to speak about the human rights abuses he witnessed at home without his family in Beijing paying the price for his words, or repression following him abroad.

It’s for a factory worker looking for resources about how to report unsafe conditions without losing his job.

It’s for a college freshman who needs to talk about being gay without fearing his family will learn of it before he’s ready to tell them.

It’s for a grandmother who just received a breast cancer diagnosis and wants to discreetly discuss her anxiety about mastectomy.

It’s for a priest dealing with depression who doesn’t know how to manage his feelings of emptiness amidst his duties to his parish.

It’s for anyone who has ever experienced a fear, thought, idea, or emotion that they need to express but aren’t ready to share with colleagues, family, friends, acquaintances, or authority figures.

Texas House Democrats flee the state in bid to block GOP’s proposed congressional map - The Texas Tribune
The lawmakers’ absence means the lower chamber won’t have enough members present to function, stalling passage of a draft map Democrats have condemned as a political power grab.

Anyone trying to high-road us about Graham should remember Trump’s solemn eulogy for Robert Mueller: “Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The more the president tries to defend his desire for a taxpayer-financed payout, the worse his position appears.

I liked the thing where if an airline canceled your flight, you were automatically refunded. That’s a common-sense thing that made my experience better, but Trump killed that.

If we can figure out how to explain “marginal tax rate” to the majority of US citizens before next November, that would be great.
