Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

I can't imagine a world without Diane Keaton. I worked with her on a movie project back in the day, and she was everything you'd expect and want her to be. Hilarious, kind, authentic, unassuming. Real. RIP to one of the greatest ever.

The grand jury indictment against New York AG Letitia James accuses her of receiving a lower-cost loan on a home she purchased.

James saved only about $50 a month with lower interest rate, the indictment alleges.

I met her during filming of Looking for Mr. Goodbar. The record store scene was filmed in Downtown Records in Chicago, where I worked.

I cued up Led Zep for the scene, then ran the register. My left hand appears briefly.

She was wonderful. Kind to all of us, even poor record store workers like me.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

🧵Billionaire Marc Benioff built a tower that dominates the San Francisco skyline like a giant dick. Apparently he aspires to be a giant dick himself. Crime is way down in San Francisco. No need for Trump to send troops and spread authoritarianism.

Salesforce Tower, visible all over San Francisco and known affectionately as the giant penis.

NYT headline

Marc Benioff Says Trump Should Send Guard Troops to San Francisco

Mr. Benioff, the Salesforce C.E.O. and owner of Time magazine, once supported Hillary Clinton and a business tax for homeless services. Now he’s fully behind Donald Trump

Table of crime rate change from 2024 to 2025 in a number of American cities. San Francisco dropped 14% in violent crime and 29% in property crime.

You are either a good guy or you aren't.

Trump is NOT a good guy. Period.

That the RICO hijacked RNC couldn't put up ANY other candidate to execute a faux "conservative Christian" agenda rationale as cover to torture kill and disappear women children and immigrants should alarm every American.
