The Texas GOP Twitter account, which previously declined to disavow Nazis who showed up to a drag show the GOP had tweeted out to their thousands of followers, is now sharing Tayler Hansen's thread.

A chimp at a Swedish zoo named Santino, who has planned hundreds of stone throwing attacks on visitors, was involved in a full scale chimp escape and revolt that has seen several chimps shot dead. It's unclear if Santino is a casualty. RT if you think Santino did nothing wrong!

One of the escapees (and, I reckon, the dead) is Santino, who has his own Wikipedia article: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santino_(

I love the idea that kids can just stroll into the transitioning store and there's a doctor there ready to treat them like a used car salesman. Do these people have any idea how much of a pain in the ass it is to get the most basic medical care in general?

This is what Hansen's and Gonzalez's rhetoric incites.

If activists like Tayler Hansen and Sara Gonzalez, who work with the Texas Family Project, are upset that over 20 kids attended a drag show, they're going to be appalled to hear about how many kids see R-rated movies, watch television, and have access to the internet.

105

Right wing activists like Tayler Hansen and Sara Gonzales use a few dozen children with their parents at a drag show in San Antonio as justification to baselessly call people groomers and pedophiles—inspiring their followers to say they want to "hunt down pedos."

Former officer Aaron Dean found guilty of manslaughter in the shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson

"Atatiana Jefferson didn’t commit any criminal acts by walking up to the window with her gun, thinking someone was outside. It’s what many of us would do. That’s what you would expect us to do."

Dean, who resigned from the Fort Worth Police Department before his arrest, was indicted by a Texas grand jury in December 2019.

AI has made my job easier. It could make your job easier too. It could liberate more of us from drudgery. But that would require an adjustment in the social contract that makes efficiency gains benefit us all, not the few.

Today on Texas Standard: Big Bend National Park to add thousands of acres of parkland

San Antonio abortion provider Dr. Alan Braid recently had a lawsuit against him dismissed, after he performed the procedure in alleged violation of Texas law. His biggest regret, he tells

"Adults only / all ages welcome / kids only" Is a distinct set of concepts from "Adult content / family friendly content / content for kids"

Here's a video from election day where you can see Sara Gonzales holding a sign that implies Beto is a child groomer, aka a pedophile. She's seen with Kevin Whitt, another January 6 attendee who calls Beto a pedo. Tayler Hansen also appears in the thread.

Whitt is trying to troll a crowd that has gathered near this polling place for a brief rally with Beto O'Rourke, calling him a "Pedo." He has just been escorted away by a Constable after touching other people's signs.

Here's another piece of info about the show that's touring Texas right now, spotted by

@ParkerMolloy

. It explicitly says it contains adult content.

Hansen, who had a ticket and attended the drag show in San Antonio, should know better that the event was marketed toward adults.

Replying to @stevanzetti

it specifically says "adult comedy" on ticketmaster when you go to purchase a ticket.

Hansen and Gonzalez are happy to play fast and loose with the facts. Hansen claims the drag show that is touring Texas right now is "family friendly." Their advertising doesn't say that. What it says is "All ages welcome." This is not unlike an R rated movie.

Has Twitter reduced child exploitation material under Musk

Grid

@gridnews

To Elon Musk supporters, the issue of child exploitation material on Twitter is seemingly solved. The group that tracks reports says it isn't.

grid.news

Elon Musk says preventing child exploitation and child sexual abuse material on Twitter is hugely important for the company. But can Twitter keep up the content posted?

Dec 14

At least two members of the neo-fascist group Patriot Front have made an appearance outside of the drag show here in San Antonio, Texas. They were also seen outside an LGBTQ event in Katy, Texas a few weeks ago.

Tayler Hansen, who saw Ashli Babbitt get shot on January 6, is paid by a relatively new right wing activist organization Texas Family Project (TFP). Sara Gonzales, who I've seen carrying a sign calling Beto O'Rourke a pedophile, works for Blaze TV and also works with TFP.

The last time Hansen did this, he misrepresented what he saw. This was followed by a number of threats being sent to the venue, which cancelled several events out of fear for their safety.
