"This will require a paradigm shift for Democrats. They will have to act less like an American political party and more like Solidarity in Poland in the 1980s or Alexei Navalny’s People’s Alliance over the last decade."

Governor Abbott is regulating women's bodies, dehumanizing our trans children, forcing prayer and Bible stories into our public schools. There is only one fundamental religion destroying our liberty in Texas. It is NOT the Muslims www.keranews.org/government/2...

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that *intended* to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives. But she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!

"It is those who wrestle with the challenging contradictions of this country, those who see the truth of our shortcomings, but also hold on to an unshakeable belief in the possibilities of this nation, who teach us how to commit ourselves to improving our deeply flawed and often perverse nation."

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

@waywordradio.org Random thought —"Tap In" and "Tap Out" sound like opposites, but I associate one with a tap on the shoulder and one as a water spigot. . .am I just warped or do the two refer to two different taps?

From last week: “The American Indian Native studies course that we’ve developed is heavily focused on modern Indigenous people, both in Texas and beyond because we do still exist.” But the State Board of Education delayed voting on this important new curriculum:

'Texas approves Bible-infused curriculum for public schools' from '' on the KERA app! www.keranews.org/education/20... Brought to you by KERA Sounds straight up unconstitutional and UN AMERICAN, if you ask me. And, as, andrewlseidel@bskysocial can attest, the Golden Rule predates Bible by 2000yrs.

If I am going to be subjected to the calumny of autocrats the least I can demand is that we bring back the word "calumny." Thanks to the OED for this definition.
