No, Bo French. These UT students are not ‘the problem’ | Editorial

"The controversy also underscores why it matters how UT serves its mission....At a time when a major party nominee for statewide office can look at a diverse crowd of young Texans and see an invasion, students need more opportunities to understand one another. UT is giving them fewer."

Leaders of the Texas GOP cannot spend years stoking suspicion of outsiders, then act surprised when a candidate says the quiet part out loud, the Editorial Board writes.

Bevo the Texas Longhorn Mascot Entrance

I remain so angry that no one, not one administrator, at UT said the obvious: you want to come for one of our students, you have to get through all of us. You attack any Longhorn, prepare to be gored by all of our horns

The governor of Texas depicting his Latina opponent on a Loteria card is the kind of racism he has so far failed to condemn from other Republican candidates.

Facebook post from Greg Abbott: Rather than teach our students the principles that made Texas an America exceptional, Gina Hinojosa wants to radicalize your children with drag queen story hour, all while keeping parents in the dark. She calls herself a "Mad Mom." Texans agree; her extreme agenda is completely mad, and we will not let her bring it into your children's classroom.

An illustration accompanies that resembles a loteria card, with Hinjosa depicted as "La Payasa," the Clown. She is surrounded by banners and signs related to LGBTQ identity.

Big lawsuit filed by the family of Tierra Walker, who died of preeclampsia at 20 weeks pregnant after being denied abortion care. Argues Texas' abortion bans violate the state constitution's right to life and should be struck down. More soon on @autonomynews.co abortioninamerica.org/wp-content/u...

screenshot from page 60 of the complaint:
Not one of Ms. Walker’s medical providers sought to rely on the exception to Texas’s abortion bans or offered Ms. Walker’s life-saving abortion. To the extent Ms. Walker’s medical providers believed that she was never sick enough to qualify for the exception, Texas’s abortion bans, combined with the associated definitions of “abortion,” “reasonable medical judgment,” and “medical emergency,” are unconstitutionally vague in violation of the due course of law provision of Article I, Section 19 and thus unenforceable. See Paxton v. Annunciation House, Inc., 719 S.W.3d at 589.
208. In addition, to the extent Texas’s abortion bans and associated definitions were a proximate cause of Ms. Walker’s death, they violated her right to life under the Texas Constitution and are unconstitutional. Vernon’s Tex. Civ. Stats. ch. 6-1/2; Tex. Health & Safety Code §§ 170A.001-170A.007; Tex. Health & Safety Code §§ 171.201-171.212; Tex. Health & Safety Code § 245.002.
209. Finally, to the extent Texas’s statutory scheme, taken as a whole, cumulatively denied Ms. Walker her right to life without due process of law, Texas violated her right to life under the Texas Constitution

I loved every word of this article about motherhood in professional soccer. Their babies and a caregiver travel with the team and the families get a community where "you see other people love your child" The lesson is labor rights are reproductive rights

An Ayn Rand acolyte was hired to run a school solely based on his affinity for libertarianism. Not satisfied with that, he grew it into a multi-national, private equity-fueled childcare Ponzi scheme, explicitly based on Uber's model. The result? Vast amounts of child neglect

What they hate is that Texas looks like this. Texans look like this. Our state is young: one in 4 people are under 18. And they are super diverse. What Bo here is saying is that he doesn't know Texans and he sure doesn't like them.

What talarico said is to the left of the ACLU on trans girls in sports. Their position was most trans players threaten safety and competition, just not their client. His position was most trans athletes dont do that, but if they do, they shouldnt play. This was the position of fed gov, most states

Austin FC devolving into a mediocre home side after another draw at Q2 Stadium

Good lord, this guy hasn't ever been to a #AustinFC game. "No one will ever question Vazquez’s effort on the field, but for a player who is making $3.35 million, his first touch sometimes lacks quality. And he hasn’t scored in 17 appearances." We all think he makes no effort. We have eyes

Normal lawyers go to scotusblog for Supreme Court news, briefs, updates. The site now has a stable of regular contributors that deliver hard right views dressed up as and served side by side with "just the news." It's a tactic that works - to shift views and normalize outlandish arguments

An ad from @jamestalarico.bsky.social during the Texas game! Reminding us that Paxton owns 15 homes and is super corrupt. (Tho Paxton earlier told me that Talarico voted for China to own all of TX - ie being Chinese shouldn't mean you cant buy property bc the equal protection clause - so toss up)
