This is what I’m here for.

“Also representing the challengers is Jonathan Mitchell, who argued on Trump’s behalf in the Colorado ballot access case before the Supreme Court last term.”

This doesn’t bode well. It’s Hobby Lobby part 2.

“Representing the company is Gene Hamilton, an alum of the first Trump administration Justice Department, who now, alongside Trump adviser Stephen Miller, leads the legal advocacy organization America First Legal.”

“ The company also objected to paying for insurance that covered screenings for sexually transmitted diseases and other treatments related to conduct the employer morally opposed.”

“The Texas business, Braidwood, sued over the mandates because the company had moral objections to covering the HIV prevention medications – known as PrEP…”

That said, I also worked for a PBS station and staff often said that Newt Gingrich was the best fundraiser they ever had. Every time they tried to kill Big Bird, viewers responded.

Times, people, and the media landscape have changed significantly, though, and I hope they survive.

I worked for an NPR station in Wyoming. We had a statewide network and oftentimes were the only radio signal. This could hit stations in rural areas harder than the others, since they often get rural access grants and simply don’t have the same donor base as more populated areas to stay afloat.

Very broadly, Geography. Conjunto = Texas. Norteño = Mexico. Tempo is a little faster in Norteño, harmonies are a little different, sometimes Norteño has a sax in addition to the 4-pc they have in common. Norteño also much more commercially successful and has a lot more radio support. Thx 4 asking!

first they came for Matt Gaetz, and I didn't speak out— because seriously, fuck that guy

Dr. Oz.

Seriously.

Rancho Alegre is on Blue Sky!

Our little grassroots nonprofit is called Rancho Alegre. We specialize in preserving and promoting Conjunto music, an accordion-driven Mexican-American Texas cultural roots genre.

We have a small record label and our new project with Los Enmascarados drops next month on digital, vinyl, & cd!

My nonprofit had 3 accounts - one for the org, one for our record label, and one for our music festival - and we deactivated them all.

The audience for our mission (Texas Conjunto accordion music) is very niche and just isn’t here. They weren’t on Twitter and prefer FB.

But we’ll def try here. 😎

Happy Saturday! Here’s another resident of our little rancho, our donkey Bandido!

Republicans: We don’t know enough about Kamala & we just don’t trust her.

Also Republicans: We know Trump and Gaetz are rapists & we just don’t care.

Also suggest the Block button be as prominent as the Follow button.

The Naked Gun.

Lol no way I’m saying any of this, but I’ll giggle every time I hear it.

Hey everyone! I missed the boat on the early days of Twitter, so getting this many reciprocal follows is pretty badass! So great to meet you all!

In appreciation, here’s a pic of my goat, Stan. He’s just one of the residents here at Rancho Alegre and is one of my best buds.

Oh! This isn’t a metaphor.

Welp, now I’m following you. You are the Mr. Rogers of all Sewer Districts, regardless of region.

Agreed. I feel like the block button should be as prominent as the follow button.

Okay, but will onalday umptray be allowed on here? That’s the real question.

Just further evidence - beyond an embarrassing amount of team merch - that they treated this like a football rivalry. Their reaction to this is not unlike complaining about starting lineups and draft picks.

You had me at muppet! Good morning!

Following not necessarily to trust or support all of these sources, but to grow the numbers over here and hasten the collapse of the former platform. I’ve long felt that journalists were the only ones keeping it relevant.

The only reason I held out as long as I did was for Black Twitter. Thanks to my graduate studies at an HBCU (NC A&T - Aggie Pride!), I’d finally landed over there and loved every minute. Especially in the last 4 months.
