What stupidity

Will the Texas Supreme Court Legalize Child Abuse? The idea that parents have a constitutional right to harm children is disturbing enough, but this case also highlights the real underlying issue with the “parental rights” movement.

“The theory is not that abuse did not occur, but that the Constitution requires the state to tolerate it.

“The rhetoric of parental rights collapses into a claim of unilateral power rather than responsibility.”

I have a Keith Haring poster on my wall, signed when I met him at an event in 1984, and I think probably every day about the impact he had on the world, barely even making it past 30

Thank you @brendannyhan.bsky.social & @jasonreifler.bsky.social for this impt research which illustrates that getting out *ahead* of rumors & lies about elections — instead of simply responding w/ fact-checking afterwards — is essential.
