Avid reader, tireless advocate for public education and teachers, especially fine arts education. After 40 years in veterinary medicine, am very well versed in dealing with feral people.

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did?
It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Even if you don’t play a horn, get some paint buckets & drum sticks, wash boards & spoons, tambourines, & what expensive items you can gather to make noise!

Some good news
This is a district to watch. Tides - they may be turning.
RESULT: Voters in Mansfield, Texas, have ousted three conservative members of their local school board tonight.
This is a school board that has been at the frontlines of book-banning in Texas, as you can see here: fortworthreport.org/2025/03/19/m...

Spent the morning watching pre UIL performances. Linda McMahon, Drumpf, and the Muskrat can go pound sand. And they can take Abbott, Patrick and most of the Texas lege with them. I will never stop supporting public education and the fine arts in our schools.

There is a special place in hell for Paxton.
I am struck by the fact that, if we follow the line back through the dozens of people who are allowed a say in whether Kate Cox gets a life-saving abortion, nine of them are GOP judges, many are lawyers, and the rest are anti-abortion Texas politicians
and none of them are Kate Cox or her doctors
and none of them are Kate Cox or her doctors
Hell is Not Hot Enough for Ken Paxton
There is no call for this other than: the State of Texas is demanding that we give birth or die trying.
