Something new from me:
For @TexasObserver, I wrote about the #ACLU of #Texas lawsuit against Senate Bill 12, the #drag ban which is scheduled to go into effect in September, but is already having a chilling effect on performers in the state ... I spoke with drag queen Brigitte Bandit, Ash Hall of the TXACLU, and Ricardo Martinez of Equality Texas. https://www.texasobserver.org/drag-ban-sb-12-aclu-lawsuit/
José's new video on Jesse Watters is an excellent watch. #FoxNews viewers no longer expect anything really resembling the #news in the slightest. They just want an opportunity to jeer and get angry at their ideological enemies during prime time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3N6mQNvaek
Call to Action from Violet Crown #Antifascists: The Let Women Speak TERF movement is holding a rally in opposition to #Austin #Pride tomorrow. Come out prepared to oppose them and support your #trans and nonbinary comrades.
Bring signs, noisemakers, sunscreen, stay hydrated!

Public meeting spaces at libraries in almost every major city in #Texas, and many smaller ones, saw 'Brave Books' events this weekend, which promoted this extremist publisher's storybooks under the guise of freedom of speech. The events were supported by Citizens Defending Freedom, aka 'Moms for Liberty in Suits' which is simultaneously seeking to ban 100s of books in #FortWorth.

(Edit: Corrected unclear language that made it seem like libraries hosted these events)
