46 men — including a high school football coach and a youth pastor — were arrested during a multi-agency operation targeting sex trafficking in North Texas.
There are no reports of drag queens being arrested in the operation.

GOP: We force 11-yr-old rape victims to give birth
With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

22M Americans applied for student loan relief in under a week & the GOP’s response is to sue to block that relief because, “it’s unfair to for profit predatory lenders who won’t get their interest money.”😐
GOP’s war on working families is on full display. Vote Them Out.

The ignorance by law makers regarding womens bodies and circumstances around sexual assault here are astounding. Law makers need to stay out of the doctor-patient relationship
CW: Rape & Incest
This is horrifying. SC GOP House Rep Doug Gilliam defends banning abortion for rape & incest because, “A 12 year old rape victim has choices & options” if she truly didn’t want the child.
Support @docs4fertility & call your reps. We cannot let SC 5399 pass
MAGA: Canceling student loans is immoral. This is why we need a Govt based on the Bible.
Deuteronomy 15: “At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made.”
MAGA: Not that part of the Bible.
MAGA: Why is our Govt sending billions overseas and not investing those billions in the American people?
Biden: Here’s $300B invested in the American people.
MAGA: Socialism!!!
GOP supported the PPP loan forgiveness program, which overwhelmingly benefited the top 20% income earners. 4.1 million PPP loans were forgiven. The average dollar amount forgiven was $95,700.
But $10K in student loans for low income people & GOP rushes to condemn it. No shame.
"Lemon, during my brief stint as CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery I canceled two movies: Batgirl and Scoob: Holiday Haunt."
"Wow, the scripts must have been terrible"
"No, the finished films were actually quite good."
"They were finished!?!"
"Lemon, have you ever heard of... taxes?"
Some historical context:
In 1857, the Supreme Court heard a case called Dred Scott v. Sandford, and their ruling stated that black people were not and could not ever be considered citizens of the United States, and that additionally they had no human rights at all. 1/8
Three of the justices on the Supreme Court were appointed by a President that tried to overthrow the government and a forth is married to a woman who actively planned the overthrow. And we’re just supposed to act like that’s ok?!
A broken system is when 4 Justices nominated by Presidents who lost the popular vote, confirmed by a Senate who represent 40M fewer Americans than the other party, strip health access from 165M women that more than 230M Americans support
Abolish the filibuster. Expand The Court.
Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.
So it's "state's rights" when it comes to banning abortion, immigration, books, lgbtq, and 'woke' businesses—but it's not state's rights when it comes to proven gun safety laws.
Expand The Court.
Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide
Just getting started reading the gun decision, but every sentence so far makes clear what a joke and a scam "originalism" is. It continues to amaze me that anyone takes it seriously.
Heads up to people 18-29
In 2014 your midterm voter turnout was 20%—Boomers were 56%
In 2018 your midterm voter turnout was 36%—Boomers were 60%
In 2022 if your midterm voter turnout exceeds Boomers—we can protect the House, grow the Senate, & truly protect our kids.
Let’s Go
A nation that allows the repeated and systemic murder of its citizens and children because 250 years ago its founders were concerned about the restoration of British monarchical rule is a failing nation, both morally and politically.
every time this happens I watch the conversation move toward the why. Mental health, race, class, domestic dispute etc. I kind of can’t stand that because all it does is protect the only constant in each case: a gun.
