Ultra MAGA family values: While TX #GOP Rep. Bryan Slaton was whipping up hate against #drag shows, calling #LGBTQ+ people "perverted," and writing anti-#abortion laws, he was reportedly liquoring up his underage intern so he could cheat on his wife. #politics https://www.texastribune.org/2023/04/10/bryan-slaton-texas-legislature-ethics-criminal-attorney/

Meet Florida State Senator Lauren Book

Senator Book uses her power to keep girls and women safe as our rights are being taken

She read her phone number aloud on the Senate floor and joined multiple protests for reproductive rights

"Please don't take matters into your own hands. Do not put your safety at risk. No backalley abortions. There are people and funds that will help you…you are not alone. Call my office”

DeFascts’s response?

To arrest her

Senator Book is a Hero.

Fact #1:
20 US States - nearly half of America - have passed some version of "existing as trans or in drag is defined as sex crimes against minors".

Fact #2:
Many of those states are now passing laws making "sexual crimes against minors" a crime punishable by death.

They're not being subtle about this. This is genocide.

Looks? It’s what’s inside that counts.

A fridge is a perfect example.

Running low on thoughts and prayers--please send more.

@MSNBC Why isn't Grassley being asked to Retire as well??????

@AlliFlowers @cautionarytale
Sadly the key word here is “some.” I would love a major movement of Christians to actually promote the message of “The Sermon on the Mount,” but a national progressive group getting other progressive people to express disapproval of hard right wingers is, well, preaching to the choir.

I am atheist, and I marvel at how often I’m clearly more Christian than so many Christians.

@AlliFlowers For me, and so many others, the only way to even THINK there are any remaining decent Christians is for this to happen more. For now my motto is "There is no greater Hate than christian love"

I no longer say things like "this law is blatantly unconstitutional in more ways than I can count, so the courts will shred it like a frog in a blender" because I just don't have that kind of confidence in the American judicial system anymore.
