| 1639284435957760000 | Larry McMurtry's classic novel "Lonesome Dove" has become the latest subject of Texas' book ban politics. As @JohnDeVore writes, banning "Lonesome Dove" would be a crime against Texas. @mySA @litsanantonio https://t.co/7MUrbGI9an | 54 |
| 1641098121559113731 | Is the Oscar-winning 1954 musical SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS brimming with peppy optimism? Yes. Is it misogynistic? You bet. However, the question @JohnDeVore asks in his DECIDER column is: 'Is It Woke?' https://t.co/qnf50J4oJI https://t.co/mSrmdOc3S4 | 2 |
| 1639310540496420889 | @PLScamardo2 @JohnDeVore @mySA @litsanantonio Wait are you telling me that Texas republicans are reactionary clowns who make dramatic sweeping legal decisions w/o deep thought or study?!?!?! | 2 |
| 1638999398913826816 | You may or may not know how to define "woke" if asked, but if you read @JohnDeVore's column IS IT WOKE?, you'll be able to do a better job than others. Here, he investigates whether or not DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE, currently dominating #Netflix, is woke. https://t.co/uZ1iorBiWR | 2 |
| 1638911147649941504 | S. Craig Zahler's grimy, racist, homophobic, misogynistic crime porno #DraggedAcrossConcrete wasn’t a hit when it came out, but it’s now popular on Netflix. @JohnDeVore takes a closer look at the film in his new column, "Is It Woke?", on DECIDER: https://t.co/kCYO5G4hjH https://t.co/6cFP0ilRRk | 1 |
| 1639341909868167168 | @PLScamardo2 @JohnDeVore @mySA @litsanantonio Book banning is a crime against humanity. But watching conservative jackasses get hoisted on their own authoritarian petard will certainly be amusing to watch. | 1 |
| 1639344101576302603 | @PLScamardo2 @JohnDeVore @mySA @litsanantonio Fun fact: Lonesome Dove is a feminist book about toxic masculinity. | 1 |
| 1639311958401859598 | @PLScamardo2 @JohnDeVore @mySA @litsanantonio I'm certain if Mr. McMurtry were alive he would eloquently describe where the politicians could shelve their bill. | 1 |
| 1639369353186656258 | @JasonIsbell @JohnDeVore Only saw the TV version, and watched it against my will thanks to my dad. Damn, was it awesome. | 1 |
| 1638934478122016770 | "I know that 'woke' is a silly putty word for some, but not me"... "I had a good time clutching my pearls"... Read this fine column by @JohnDeVore, but not while chasing a deadline, cuz you'll glance down at your fingers and they'll be GREEN. https://t.co/ZfqIg4LQGx | 1 |

| 1639359221488574479 | @BrianOdegaard @PLScamardo2 @JohnDeVore @mySA @litsanantonio @DNC Nah, this is just what happens when Republicans get ban happy. Something you like gets caught up in the net | 30 |
| 1639411855926996992 | @BrianOdegaard @blacklionking73 @PLScamardo2 @JohnDeVore @mySA @litsanantonio @DNC @GOP You know the Dems don’t ban books, right? That’s specifically and completely on republicans. But keep blathering without reading the article. | 26 |
| 1639318649738608657 | @PLScamardo2 @JohnDeVore @mySA @litsanantonio One of the best books ever written | 24 |
| 1639393768431386625 | @JohnDeVore @JasonKPargin Probably because you messed up the phrase and they thought you were a spy! | 13 |
| 1639365637083643913 | @BrianOdegaard @blacklionking73 @PLScamardo2 @JohnDeVore @mySA @litsanantonio @DNC @GOP “Republican State Representative Jared Patterson was asked by Democrat James Talarico about Lonesome Dove. Would the celebrated novel about Texas Rangers be banned under Patterson's bill? … He answered the question succinctly: "[Texas] might need to ban Lonesome Dove."” | 13 |
| 1638990506771337235 | @decider @JohnDeVore I mean the film literally ends with a black character choosing to give life saving money to the family of the racist rival he outsmarted...that's hardly a racist depiction? Characters can be bigots without the FILM being bigoted lol | 12 |
