Texas has the strongest stand your ground laws in the country. Perry’s stand your ground defense failed. That should tell you something.Even the courts in Texas did not believe that this was self-defense. The jury unanimously did not believe it was self-defense. In spite of that Abbott immediately says he is going to pardon the guy. In other words, in Abbott’s Texas other Republican states, kill a protester and get out of jail free. That's what he's encouraging. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/greg-abbott-pardon-daniel-perry-murder-texas-b2316852.html?amp

@TonyStark Republicans are fairly disgusting.

@TonyStark I sure do wish Republicans would stop thinking so much about what people are doing that has absolutely no impact on them. In our bedrooms, doctors' offices, what people wear when they're reading to other people. Stay out of it.

@TonyStark I am thankful that, at least for the moment, we continue to have rule of law. Kudos to the prosecutors for continuing to pursue these cases. We must continue to defend democracy as long as we are able to do so. We have to put up a fight against the right wing authoritarian groups that continue to gather speed.

@TonyStark At least one piece of good news out of Texas-‘Raise the age’ gun bill passes Texas committee after months of advocacy by Uvalde families:https://news.yahoo.com/raise-age-gun-bill-passes-190539465.html"Two Republicans on the Texas House committee voted with Democrats to pass the bill in a 8-5 vote."With Democrats leading the way and activism from the community- things can happen.

@TonyStark They hate laws for guns but not for people who Republicans are happy to limit as long as they're not white straight rich men.

@TonyStark Despite some people's denial of reality and sense, voting counts and change is possible. Good news.

DeSantis is busy engaging in culture wars with the largest employer in the state, knee-capping its agriculture and construction industries, and ensuring that its students get the least-comprehensive education possible. Doesn't seem very business-friendly to me. Not that Republicans are ever good at anything they get credit for.Disney scraps Lake Nona, Florida campus, amid DeSantis feud-https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/05/18/disney-scraps-lake-nona-florida-campus.html

@TonyStark @seldear @GreenFire I get the impression that very few people actually realize what Biden pulled off, so once again he is not going to get the credit he deserves. It's just as well I suppose, since the success of his efforts relies on being low-key about it.Biden is dealing with horrible people. If he came across as a macho chest-beater, if he tried to humiliate McCarthy, if he provoked the toddler caucus, we would still not have a deal.

@TonyStark Why do the GOP, and Republican voters in general, think Trump is worth all this? The only way to square these indictments with supporting to him is to denigrate institutions - courts, state and federal governments, the DOJ, FBI, - at every level, which the GOP is actively doing. That is, Trump has convinced these people to destroy the very institutions on which our democracy rests. Guess that's their plan. We've known for awhile.

@TonyStark Great interview. Most of everything else in the legacy media is an amplifier for fascism.

Makes me wonder if things would have gone better for McCarthy if he would have given Democrats some credit for helping him avoid a government shutdown. But he couldn’t do that and instead bashed them. He made what happened to him. But please do Matt Gaetz next. #GOPSelfDestructRepublicans consider expelling Matt Gaetz after he ousted McCarthy - https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/10/03/matt-gaetz-republicans-kevin-mccarthy/

@TonyStark It's intimidation to force compliance. We all yelled from the rooftops. This was completely avoidable.

@TonyStark If Biden bashing is how they think we move forward, there's a lot more losing to come.
