Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina hinojosa speaks to a full house

Meanwhile, in Houston, gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is talking about Greg Abbott trafficking people into Texas’s private prisons and detention centers so that his donors will profit, and I really appreciate her for it.

3 charts reveal how delusional Wall Street is being about the Middle East conflict Wall Street is often an optimistic bunch when it comes to estimating future sales and profits from corporate America. But what's on display right now from the Street borders on absurdity.

You know shit is bad when financial reporters are like "Actually the stock market is full of irrational dipshits"

Faculty Purchasing Power Declines as Inflation Outpaces Salary Growth, AAUP Finds Preliminary data from the nation's largest faculty compensation survey shows real wages fell for the first time since the pandemic.

Faculty wages decreased and remain below pre-pandemic levels, AAUP's 2025-26 Faculty Compensation Survey confirms.

"Two steps forward, one step back. That's been the story for full-time faculty. For part-timers, it's been no steps forward at all. The AAUP data makes that undeniable."

Maine is poised to be the first state to ban new data centers. These 11 other states tried and failed.

2 Indiana sheriffs charged in public integrity investigations from Indiana State Police Two Hoosier sheriffs and a jail matron are facing charges in Indiana State Police investigations.

I just recently started a "Sheriffs Behaving Badly" spreadsheet of every time a sheriff gets arrested. I might not have every case, but I think this brings us to 7 so far this year - last year I have 19.

"Maggie is a red- headed corker, not afraid to take on Eddie joke for joke, or fill in his lines when he forgets them. Evans is great at portraying both Maggie's sharp, vaudeville - seasoned humor and her sturdy intelligence when she protests the unfairness of "Red Channels." -Mary Wisniewski, New City Stage

One of my favorite reviews and photos from CHANGING CHANNELS at City Lit Theatre. We play til April 12. #chicagotheatre #theatresky

Photo by Steve Townsend Christine Malcom, Talkin' Broadway review of Changing Channels at City Lit Evans skillfully captures the reality that Maggie not only excels at the game of comedy and the business of it, but she enjoys both. She is eminently lovable in all her sharp edges, thanks to the charm of Evans' performance. As good as Reeger's script is, though, it's easy to see that Maggie's intelligence and savvy might read as too good to be true in the wrong hands. Fortunately, Maggie is certainly in the right hands here.

"It s an engaging (and sometimes enraging) story, thanks in no small part to Evans's layered and convincing turn as Maggie, a journeywoman actor who seems to be carrying the brunt of breadwinning for her family. 66 -Kerry Reid, Chicago Reader

Reno Lovison, Chicago Theatre & Arts . Photo by Steven Townshend Feeling the need for an actress who could stand up to him, Gleason liked to spar with Kelton who played a more aggressive and caustic Alice that was different from the later, stern but warm, preson portrayal by Meadows. Evans gives us a more outspoken Carlin with a bit more Brooklyn attitude and fiery independence.

CONGRESSWOMAN RASHIDA TLAIB ENDORSES KAT ABUGHAZALEH

Representative Tlaib’s endorsement means so much to me personally. She’s set a true example for what it means to be deeply rooted in transformative progressive values that never compromise.

I hope to join her in 2027 as the only other currently elected Palestinian in Congress!

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

This morning my feeds began to be flooded with ads for opera and ballet and I am perfectly happy about this. Boost away!!

I have always enjoyed ballet and opera but I REALLY wanna go see them now.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.
