If you listened to our “Grapevine” podcast, about the fight to exalt Jesus and demonize LGBTQ people in a suburban school district, you might recall a right-wing board member bragging about having a list of “poison” teachers she was going after. Turns out the list was real and has now been released

GCISD dropped its lawsuit and released the “poison teachers” list people asked about for years
Grapevine-Colleyville ISD released a list of 18 employees a former board member called “poison teachers” after years in court. Some say they were shocked to be named.

Note: That is not, in fact, what socialism is. However, this may be one of the more revealing political moments of the past decade: a leading politician openly acknowledging efforts to redefine a political term based on contemporary political rhetoric, as opposed to its original/historic meaning.

BP are technically first responders, but as we can see here and we have seen countless times through the years, they do not respond to help people who they don’t think need help. Because of international cell phone agreements, it can also be very hard to call 911 in remote border areas.

Tonight in Lochiel, AZ, Border Patrol agents tied the legs together of a person who protested the building of the border wall by tying themselves to the truck. Then they let the driver drive away with them tied to the truck. No word on their condition. www.instagram.com/rally.forthe...

Border Patrol agents tried to kill this protester at the Lochiel tree-sit blockade and there’s really no other way to read that.
One protester, who had chained themself to a gravel hauling truck for more than seven hours, shutting down wall construction yesterday, was covered in a Mylar blanket by contractors last night. Border Patrol agents started the truck, forcing the protester, who was chained near the back of the vehicle, to inhale carbon monoxide fumes for several minutes under the blanket. "Trying to suffocate them," said Kate Scott, one of the organizers who witnessed the incident.
"Then to make matters worse they began to drive the truck" Scott said, adding that she called 911 for help. A fire truck arrived but Border Patrol sent it away.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."
