Kyle is a place in Texas, for anyone else confused. They're not just saying he acts like a total Kyle

I was very confused. I was thinking is he called Kyle Man? Why isn’t the M capitalised. Now it makes more sense.

‘Kyle’ would make a good male form of ‘Karen’.

Sorry, Kyle’s of the world.

Kyle is already used for the energy drink bros who punch holes in the drywall

I was confused!

It's a weird way to add specific information in a headline where every letter counts

A 45 year old man hit two kids and Greg Abbott blames the children.

What a fuckin' chode.

Those kids turned that security vehicle blanket into a garbage can. Abbot is a little bitch, too.

I'm proud of our children and how they stand up for themselves - and for others, particularly immigrants.

I just wish we had a healthier and safer world to pass on to them.

Despite that, these children are showing us how to stand up to Nazis. This is an important lesson for the rest of us.

Is that what the MAGAts are constantly having in mind. Constant violence is what is happening from them, and its towards everybody. This time it might be against teens and young people, but it always could've been towards children which would've been more fatal.

As always, MAGA are being the manipulants here, projecting their violent image down to make the peaceful protesters seem as the violent ones.

So much for the tolerant right.

He swung on a girl and got mobbed.

Leave it to asshole Greg Abbott to be a complete piece of shit about it.

CBS Austin reached out to Governor Greg Abbott’s office for comment. The governor’s team referred to a social media post he made about a separate walkout in Kyle, in which two students were arrested. In the post, Abbott wrote: “Disruptive walkouts allowed by schools lead to just this kind of chaos. Schools and staff who allow this behavior should be treated as co-conspirators and should not be immune to criminal behavior.”

Someone should grab his wheelchair and push him at great speed to places he doesn't want to go.

Every now and then, some piece of good news makes me feel good.
