What kind of shenanigans are right-wing Republican state lawmakers planning for the upcoming legislative sessions? Well, I'm glad you asked, because...

They've introduce bills ban the teaching of CRT, criminalize BLM protesters, ban vaccine mandates, ban abortion... (thread)
Alabama State Rep. Danny Crawford introduced HB 11, which would ban "public K-12 schools and public institutions of higher education and their employees from teaching certain concepts regarding race or sex, such as critical race theory." alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/ALISON/Searcha…
Alabama State Rep. Chris Pringle and Rep. Arnold Mooney have introduced HB 8, which uses similar language to also ban "critical race theory." alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/ALISON/Searcha…
Missouri State Rep. Nick Schroer has introduced HB 1474, entitled the "Parents' Bill of Rights Act of 2022," which is intended to "empower parents to enforce" specified "rights against school districts and public schools." house.mo.gov/billtracking/b…
Rep. Schroer has also introduced HB 1815, which bans public schools using any "curriculum implementing critical race theory," and even specifically bans particularly curriculum or publications: house.mo.gov/billtracking/b…
In fact, there have been five bills introduced in Missouri that would specifically prohibit the teaching of the 1619 Project in public schools (HB 1457; HB 1474; HB 1634; HB 1815; and SB 694).
New Hampshire State Rep. Alicia Lekas, Rep. Glenn Cordelli, Rep. Keith Ammon, Rep. Tony Lekas, and Rep. Erica Layon have introduced HB 1255, entitled "AN ACT relative to teachers' loyalty." gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/le…
Oklahoma State Sen. Rob Standridge has introduced SB 1171, which would expanded the state's recently passed law banning public schools from implementing vaccine passports to include private schools: webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2021-22…
Indiana State Sen. James Tomes has introduced SB 114, which adds "Vaccination Discrimination" to the state's Civil Rights laws: iga.in.gov/legislative/20…
Arizona State Sen. Wendy Rogers, who has spoken at QAnon conferences and is affiliated with the right-wing extremist group the Oath Keepers, has introduced SB 1033, which appears intended to specifically target and criminalize BLM protesters: azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/…
Mississippi State Rep. Timmy Ladner has introduced HB 24, which is entitled "The Combating Violence, Disorder And Looting And Law Enforcement Protection Act of Mississippi." It is exactly what you think it is: billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/2022…
Alabama State Rep. Jamie Kiel has introduced HB 23, which is a so-called heartbeat abortion ban that is modeled after Texas SB 8 (the bill currently has 23 co-sponsors): alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/ALISON/Searcha…
New Hampshire State Rep. Niki Kelsey has introduced HB 1625, entitled "The Sidewalk Free Speech Act," which would repeal the state's abortion clinic "buffer zone" law: gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/le…
Missouri State Sen. Mike Moon has introduced SB 699, entitled "Abolition of Abortion in Missouri Act," is the latest of the so-called abortion abolition legislation. senate.mo.gov/22info/pdf-bil…
South Dakota State Rep. Fred Deutsch has introduced HB 1005, which would create law that targets transgender students—and uses the same mechanism used to target abortion providers in Texas SB 8: sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill/2…

A note on historic context and #JuneTeenth— Many of the articles and social media posts currently note that on in Galveston June 19, 1865, approximately 250,000 enslaved Blacks in Texas were notified that they were free. Here’s a few important things about that number…
1) In 1825, Stephen F. Austin’s colony of anglo settlers on the Brazos River included 400+ Black slaves, and despite Mexico abolishing slavery in 1829 it granted Amex exception to Texas in 1830.
2) The number of Black slaves grew rapidly in Texas: from 10,000+ in 1840 to 58,000 in 1850. By 1860, there were 182,000 Black slaves in Texas—more that 30% of the total population of Texas.
