First of all, you’ve not gotten the full @jkrummeck.bsky.social experience until you’ve actually heard her speak… Secondly, @stevenleyva.bsky.social’s new collection - “The Opposite of Cruelty” - is something we ALL need right now - the words, the poems, the message…

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.
