The administration becomes more dangerous in its desperation to retain power. We stand with you, Representative Omar.

How scared and weak are they to do that to a child. Our nation has lost Its soul.

It takes a lot of courage to stand up in a room full of zealots and speak the truth. Heroes are emerging in these dark times.

Barbaric and cruel. This diminishes us further in the civilized world, which clearly we are not a part of any more.

It’s official. The barbarians have crashed through the gates and are running the country.

No wonder they don’t want us teaching about the horrors of slavery in school any more.

He will stop at nothing. He’s desperate and feeble minded all at the same time.

Executions as entertainment are barbaric and cruel. This would diminish us even further in the civilized world, not make us great.

Cats love blankets. They love sitting on your lap when you’re trying to crochet a blanket. They love helping you arrange the granny squares when you try to plan how to sew them together.

I can’t hear “Jump” and not think of spring break. It was the theme song that year and fit the mood so perfectly.

When trump belittled John McCain for getting caught and being a POW, I thought that would finish him as a candidate. That it didn’t was the first sign for me that his supporters were as rotten as he is

The social studies curriculum is rewritten to include less world history and more Texas history. Seriously.

www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex... Our “anti socialist” Texas state govt has put maybe $1billion into a curriculum that would compete with private publishers. It includes a conservative rewrite of the social studies curriculum and plentiful bible stories. And financial incentives to districts
houstonchronicle.com
Exclusive: Spending on state-led Bluebonnet curriculum could top $1B
The amounts are the first public accounting of the program, which is part of a broader overhaul of the state’s K-12 education system under Gov. Greg Abbott.

As a girl who came of age in the 80’s, it’s so encouraging to hear how much progress has been made here.
