Talarico also backs solar and wind, and he talks about climate change all the time. Sadly it just isn't realistic to expect a candidate in Texas to run against oil, at least not yet. You want him to win, right?
What's the "Washington Post"?

Priceless post from the official White House social media
Republicans: [unsavory tactics]
Media: Gosh, that’s some maneuvering.
Democrats: [punch back]
Media: We need to ask ourselves if this is the sign of a healthy democracy.
It's starting to look like their midterm gerrymander gambit may be the dumbest thing Texas Republicans have ever done, and that, my friends, is saying something.
Creating a disruption is the whole point of posting the 10C in the first place. They want to make teachers' lives harder and make teaching less effective. Why help them do it?
Sure, but it's not the teachers' fault.
Have your kid email your state rep and ask them for a definition. Or invite your rep to speak in a classroom and ask them there.
For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.
If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood
To be clear: What is going on here is that THIS FBI, under Patel, is in fact helping these extremist groups by going after their "narcs." Remember that they are trying to dismiss the convictions against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. They pardoned J6ers. Charlottesville Nazis were "fine people" 2/
This is music.
I was going to say menudo too. Not my thing.
one of the single most important bursts of legislative activity in the nation's history happened because the governing party did not hesitate to remove their opponents from congress itself when they had the opportunity. 🤷🏿♂️
And in a separate case, a judge will hear arguments to halt the Texas Education Agency's illegal and politically driven targeting of Texas educators for expressing their personal opinions outside of the classroom. It's clearly unconstitutional and un-American! justiceactioncenter.org/news/plainti...
No, the time to claim the moral high ground is after you've won.
Dems should do whatever they legally can do to take the majority, then push hard for a federal districting code to permanently level the field.
Republicans might even support it after they gerrymander everything and lose anyway.
Very true.
I tried to answer this but got hung up on whether *my* cuisine is Jewish or Texan, spun into an existential crisis, and gave up.
Watch how swiftly fake quotes get attributed to “S. Drimmer” now.
Thing is, this is exactly what ChatGPT was designed to do. Namely, jackhammer the grounds of truth beneath our feet. Whether the product is “good” or not is irrelevant. Its purpose is to remove people from acts of discernment.
By all means, call out problems! But we also need to start talking about why the academy is necessary and good, not just about its flaws.
UT's leadership is not "submitting to political domination." The regents are all Republican loyalists installed by Greg Abbott to do whatever he wants them to do.
Texas universities will never recover unless the Legislature takes away from the governor the sole power to appoint university regents.
Supporting Israel by leaving the party that wants to stop killing Palestinians to join the one that wants to start killing Jews.

My mentions are full of people who think I should have more respect for a technology that has made my job harder, wasted my time, stolen my work, and made a mockery of a thirty-year teaching career.
Republican President ____________ may have ____________ the ____________. But it's up to the incoming Democratic president to ___________ it.
I'm not taking your comments seriously because there's literally no way to know you're a person.
With SB37 in 2025, the Texas Legislature made the entire curricula of 36 universities, including med schools, law schools, and the state's HBCUs, subject to the political whim of one person.
Other stakeholders—students, faculty, staff, communities, alumni—have no say in who governs their schools.
It passed here more than a year ago, and I'm not sure anyone's noticed this aspect of it yet but me. I keep yelling.

The idea that Texas universities are run by their faculties is nonsense. UT doesn't even have a faculty senate anymore.
Since the last legislative session, political boards appointed by the governor have direct control over curriculum, course offerings, academic policy, hiring, firing, and tenure.
