Governor Greg Abbott of Texas is an idiot. He will use any approach to push his school voucher agenda.
Those familiar with Texas know that high school football is the end all, be all, of sports.
All you kids going to underfunded public schools can still play football, y’all!

This is reckless.

Park rangers and staff are incredibly important. They serve the families who visit and our parks in turn support more jobs in the outdoor economy in New Mexico and across the country.

Brian Gibbs was an environmental educator at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa. His job was among those nixed by the Trump administration as it pushes to shrink federal spending.

As I was watching (yet again) Kiefer Sutherland’s series 24, in Season 6 there is a scene w/ potus Wayne Palmer where he addressed his cabinet and said:
‘We as Americans need to demonstrate that we are governed by the rule of law and never by the politics of fear.’

Joe Biden might have been old, but his administration and its officials knew what the National Nuclear Security Administration was responsible for and never fired those in charge of managing our nuclear stockpile “by accident.”

President Zelenskyy: “At the Munich Security Conference, I emphasized that European policy must not just be promising — it must make America want to stand with a strong Europe. Europe must decide its own future with confidence in its strength so that others have no choice but to respect its power.”

They keep denying that they are Nazis, but when VP Vance meets with people from Germany he chose the AFD. Actions speak so much louder than words. But then his words are loud as well.

Trying to spread MAGA across Europe now.

“I think what’s really fascinating is: *nobody* in Canada is surprised. I mean, did anyone believe this guy, his word, could be trusted? He’s a criminal. He’s a convicted predator.”

I do not understand why this is not getting more coverage than one mention in a small CNN article.

@ruchowdh.bsky.social on tips for government employees navigating a Musk takeover: “Don't have conversations in the workplace. Don't have conversations on your work devices. Try to log into encrypted end to end networks… remove yourself from any place or situation in which you can be surveilled.”

The richest man on earth, Elon Musk

is trying to kill a department, USAID, that helps the poorest people on earth

Because USAID has been investigating Musk and his Starlink company — and their ties to Vladimir Putin and Russia

THAT is why Musk is attacking USAID

If you're advocating for racism, you're a racist.

If you're advocating for eugenics, you're a racist.

If you're advocating for racists to get hired or rehired by the government, you're a racist.

Hope that clears things up.

Fascism survives so long as the evil at the top is supported by cowards below.

Is any Republican in Congress willing to stand against Elon Musk and for the American People? Or will they sit in cowardly complicity with the evil of their leaders?
