Today. We’re in Mexico City. Went to the museo de arte Moderna in CDMX. Our Uber driver recommended a Mexican Surrealist I didn’t know. Remedios Varo. I hope this small fact busts some stereotypes. This is one beautiful city, so much beauty.

Coming to Texas via our fascist overlords. It pays to be a rich religious christofascist here, meanwhile real xtians helping migrants get sued. Maybe they should read those Bibles they are pushing.

Texas is approving the Bible for public schools. I am a non fascist xtian. Here is my heavily underlined Bible. I have read it and studied it in Greek and Hebrew. It does not belong in a Public School. Shame on these Christofascist politicians . www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/u...

Howdy from the Texas Blue Dots. We’re gonna win this state back. There will be much harm until we do. But resist these fascists and raise your voice. It is no a time to be timid, especially if you are an old white man like me.

I just wrote about the ruling by the Trump appointed federal judge in Texas that just took away overtime pay from at least 4 million Americans. The case is Texas v. Department of Labor, E.D. Tex., No. 24-00499, and I bet you’ve never even heard of it until now. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

I wear a Stetson Open Road. Why? I’m too old to be a hipster. Every time someone says, I like your hat, I say, “Thanks , it’s a reminder that a Texan signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Act of 1965. LBJ was more of a Texan than Greg Abbott or Ken Paxton will ever be. #nonfascistTexan

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
