In the 1950s some Texas legislators first proposed school vouchers. Right on the heels of the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v School Board.

“I rise today to call attention to a robbery being planned by a felon.” -@RepSylviaGarcia- Houston congresswoman being targeted by President Trump’s push to re-gerrymander Texas congressional districts mid-decade, offers scathing attack on GOP “power-grab.”
Houston’s “civility ordinance” against sitting or sleeping on sidewalks comes under more scrutiny for its treatment of the homeless. One woman got more than 780 tickets, adding up to nearly $200,000 in fines, from 2016 thru 2025. Are we just kicking people around more than helping them?
Years ago we created our logo based on the Apollo 8 “Earthrise” photo. Because it’s the moment when men from Houston changed the way humanity sees itself & our delicate planetary spaceship. Now Artemis has brought this perspective back for new generations. Let’s not lose it again
Texas school voucher applications are very different from racial make-up of Texas public schools. While schools are 54% hispanic, white families are far largest group applying. This may reignite 70 yr old charges that vouchers are just a re-segregationist tool. 🧵 #TxLege #TxEd

Gov Abbott is loudly decrying criminal bail problems in Texas, but he’s not said anything - pro or con - about recent pardons of violent criminals from the January 6th insurrection. Despite saying those actions should never be allowed to happen again just a week later. #TxLege
The mayor did a Baker Institute luncheon this week & this moment caught our ear. Apparently staff have chided him for not listening enough.👍 Yet he seems to not realize community input has often been ongoing BEFORE he arrived with his OWN ideas. 👎 🤦 Full video: www.youtube.com/live/5-SiH3g...
The US moon landing demonstrated our technologically standing as a nation. But in recent years that exceptionalism has done little to advance our civic standing. Thus @Astros4America is launching a recommitment to science, evidence-based decision-making, public service, & the rule of law.

🇨🇿 General Řehka: We depend on outcome of the war in Ukraine. So, supporting Ukraine isn't charity. It's in our vital interests. And we need to make sure, it's for our own good, that we integrate Ukraine into European and, hopefully, also into NATO structure as soon as possible.

I think I need more variations of the little shell guys Ones that throw things, ones that jump, etc. I might make all enemies harder to destroy, but have them re-spawn much less often🤔 Balance is tough to figure out #indiedev #pixelart #indiegames
As a three time combat veteran, I get pissed when a five-time draft dodger like Trump bangs the war drums from Mar-A-Lago. When politicians talk tough, it’s not their kids who get sent to war. It’s working class kids who have to fight.

The White House official account shared this AI video, mocking the cancellation of Steven Colbert and the Late Show. The Trump regime has been laser focused on removing comedians who joke about the US President. The tactic is very similar to the beginning of Vladimir Putin's dictatorship in Russia.
And now, again, the 4th time today already and it’s only 12:30. Wasting tax dollars and setting the stage for tyranny. Call Congress and say NO to the militarization of the U. S.
Paul Weiss pledged $40 million to Trump-aligned causes. Eight more firms followed. Nearly $1 billion in legal work promised instead of fighting the orders in court. The legal world is calling it exactly what it looks like. Protection money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTPad7aEHpQ

Cbc on Bill C-22 #Cdnpoli 🇨🇦 the Liberals have said they are passing it, and are “open to amendments” but nothing substantive. If it passes, expect considerable civil cross-partisan unrest.
