#MissKittyPolitics Speaking of #StarterPacks she has a great one coming. Top of the #policy trees and those that dwell in that shade! 😹😹😹 It's all good. We're replanting the forest. More #trees needed. Policy #wonks aren't that good at getting connected. #MissKitty is here to help‼️

The #KnowledgeFight #wonks enjoyed watching Judge Maya Guerra Gamble last year during the InfoWars trial (specifically Alex Jones and Free Speech Systems).
She just ruled that TX Republicans prohibition on cities from passing certain local rules is unconstitutional. This included the ban on mandated water breaks.
But #HB2127 will still go into effect.

ps: we'd love to know the backstory to the ban on shorts in her courtroom

Texas judge says Greg Abbott's 'Death Star' bill is unconstitutional

The law, dubbed "the law that kills," was so broad it prevented local ordinances that mandated things such as water breaks for construction workers.

With so many #histodons and #wonks joining mastodon, I wonder if there is appetite for instances that are governed by #democratic processes, maybe using some of the tools in this post from @boud
https://framapiaf.org/@boud/104337099048548739

Is anyone aware of such instances?

@[email protected] I mostly agree, with one significant disagreement: 's/create/use and further develop/ ' #DemocracySoftware / #ParticipatoryDemocracy software already exists and is being used: * lists: ** https://democracy.foundation/similar-projects/ ** https://alternativeto.net/software/democracyos/?license=opensource - another list of projects * well-known projects: ** Loomio - https://github.com/loomio/loomio ** Decidim - https://github.com/decidim/decidim ** LiquidFeedback - https://www.public-software-group.org/liquid_feedback ** Consul - https://consulproject.org/en/ - claims to be used by 135 Institutions
