Sen. Dusty Deevers' bill would ban sexting, even between consenting non-married adults. I wish these folks would get therapy

@carstenfranke I am shocked we can live in the same time period and think so differently. I can assure you, in my country, if a Danish member of parliament started bringing up bible quotes as an argument for legislation, she would be laughed out of the room, and on her way out, someone would shout “Separation of church and state — look it up!”

Is Trump illegally using his campaign money to pay his personal legal fees?

THIS is the question investigative journalists should be asking right now.

I'm looking for scholarly research on archetypes/taxonomies/characterization of open source governance models.

There are several models out there: Benevolent Dictator for Life (BDL), Technical Steering Council/Committee (TSC), loosely defined meritocratic lazy consensus... And would love to read some deep analysis on those. Any pointers are appreciated.

Please boost for reach 🙏🏼

Arizona school vouchers cost taxpayers more per student, but Republicans say they don’t https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/013124_esa_horne/arizona-school-vouchers-cost-taxpayers-more-per-student-but-republicans-say-they-dont/
The Republicans in charge of the Arizona Department of Education and the state Senate say that the state’s school voucher program saves taxpayers money, and that any statements to the contrary are myths - but the numbers say something different.

HSE Republicans dismiss rules bc they're lawless. #TFG: perfect president bc he's not only lawless, he's a mob boss.

"Rare weaponizing a boring House tradition. The result is more paralysis.

GOP rebels are tanking "rules" to push demands, forcing a super-majority threshold for bills.

It's creating a "de facto filibuster," turning HSE into the Sen." -S Kapur

HSE: so inept at moving leg. thru the normal process - starting to look like a more rowdy Sen-.

Miss Piggy is in a Kermitted relationship.

Mad. I blame #Trump & #RightWingMedia & the lack of #moderation online.

Man in #Pennsylvania charged w/ #FirstDegree #murder & abusing a corpse after he uploaded a video to #YouTube that appeared to show his father, a #federal employee, beheaded. In the graphic video, since removed, the man also went on a 14min tirade, espousing #RightWing #ConspiracyTheories, demanding that Pres #Biden resign & threatening to kill #FederalWorkers.

"Harris has firmly grasped that abortion rights are indeed about morality. And that the right and moral issue at stake here is not letting the government take away people’s rights to govern their own bodies. To use an antiquated name from the last century, those who insist on exercising their freedom to do what they want with their bodies are the real Moral Majority in America."
