Happy #Newstodon Friday, a day when we highlight great publications on the #Fediverse and some of our most important stories.

Let's re-share this story by @stevanzetti, who asked #Texas Republicans that represent #Allen if they would disavow the ideology of last months shooter. We'll have an update to the story next week (one pol responded to us) but it's a sign of how normalized #extremism is within today's GOP: https://www.texasobserver.org/allen-shooting-republicans-extremism/
