@markyzaguirre @WestTxStringer @KonniBurton This is the shape of Texas.

@WestTxStringer @KonniBurton But what about the iconic shape of Texas? Do we really want to give that up?

In the Texas House interim charges — study the implications of adding to Texas one or more contiguous counties of New Mexico.

🎧 @FedSocRTP: Our @senatorshoshana talks to @moflatley about how states steal Social Security funds from orphans, keeping in mind many kids in foster care will face poverty later in life bit.ly/4haE4gd

Thank you, Chief Justice Blacklock, for highlighting the need to reform grounds for terminating parental rights - the "civil death penalty" - and calling for the complete elimination of the misused and constitutionally suspect Subsection O.

SCOTX Chief Justice Blacklock said using the state’s authority to take children from their parents should be the last resort, likening the action to a civil death penalty. dallasnews.com/news/politics/…

Excellent read from @BillPeacock3: "If we are going to truly restore the original constitutional structure for our nation, we must look to Bible to understand how God designed the world to work and civil government’s role in it..."

Thank you, @kevinsparkstx, for your commitment to foster children in West Texas and around the state.

@brianeharrison Just DOGE it.

Every budget I’ve seen so far this session increases spending, grows government, funds DEI, and does nothing serious on property taxes… Texas Liberty Bots, did you vote for that??

@Carine_tsobg Yes, the key word here is “family” housing. Not all housing is of equal value. High-density, urban housing does not advance family or civil society. Texas should not advance UN-priority, urban hive dwelling.

Pay attention, Texas 👇 #txlege #housingaffordability Excerpt from Kenneth P. Miller's excellent "Texas vs. California: A History of Their Struggle for the Future of America" (emphasis mine) "𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀, 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲- 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱, especially in its coastal areas, 𝗱𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿, 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆, 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀. As a consequence, by 2019, the median home value in California had surpassed half a million dollars—more than double the national median and more than 2.5 times the median in Texas." (p. 66)

The palpable bloodthirst for the democide of #RobertRoberson is really sad, and reflects a deep ignorance of the 'science' of 'child abuse pediatrics,' generally, and 'shaken baby syndrome,' specifically. Thanks to the brave #txlege members and advocates fighting this injustice.

When hospitals report mothers to child welfare authorities based on an incredibly unreliable test, they end up removing perfectly healthy children from loving, responsible parents. reason.com/2024/09/13/the…

Texas is about to put a father to death based on junk science. Even lead detective disagrees: “I have come to believe that Nikki died of accidental and natural causes. I am convinced that she was not murdered. Roberson is innocent. There was no crime.” texasobserver.org/death-row-shak…

Earlier this year, a friend of mine almost had his young daughter taken from him in California just because he wanted her to wait a few years to permanently transition. He talked the police out of taking her when they came to his house. That day, he left California with his family.

@johnmccard @spriteworks @mtaibbi The rhetoric in the election of 1800 indicates the Founders were pretty tolerant of hateful speech.

@spriteworks @mtaibbi I imagine if your " Great Founding Father' ould see the "God hates Fags" and" All dead Jews are good Jews" they might rethink the ammendment or maybe they weren't so enlightened afterall

The context changes little. The key is Walz’s blanket statement that there’s no constitutional protection for hate speech or misinformation. There’s widespread misunderstanding on this issue already, causing people to mistakenly believe certain forms of censorship are legal.

Shame on you @startelegram for this histrionic piece of safetyism. No wonder parents are stressed out and children are anxious. Yes, children under 12 can be left safely at home. They are competent and capable of independence. You will not be arrested. 🙄 star-telegram.com/news/state/tex…

@ChuckDeVore Come on, Chuck. He’s been through enough. He just wants his Apple Watch. Mom has dinner on the table and he needs to get home. Sacrifice on behalf of the oppressed has its limits.

Odd, what's the point of the mask, now that the world knows who you are Ren?

@VanceGinn "[Government as an additional source of finance ...] is a honey that has led persons in industry after industry to support and promote government involvement, which has reacted ultimately against them."

Wise words, as usual, by Milton Friedman on the high cost of government intervention in health care. Watch: youtu.be/rWlk9HreE7U?si…

Thank you @RepJamesFrank for your leadership.

In 2017, Texas had 30,000 in @TexasDFPS care. Now, there are fewer than 16,000. Texas has reduced the number of children separated from their families in measured, thoughtful ways over four legislative sessions. This is a model for family justice. imprintnews.org/top-stories/te…

Just a reminder that I am "For" or "Against" the current thing, as appropriate.
