So more tests are the answer for public schools (more $$$ expended) but none required for private/ charter/ or homeschool students??? What about all those vouchers that will be issued cutting into state education funds??? Trusting Morath and his TEA goons is a big mistake, too.
Well, that new school voucher system is right on time since no teachers in their right minds will be sticking around. Betting TX can't wait to be 2nd to do the same.
Here are my questions: Who is actually being trained on the software?Are ICE agents smart enough to be able to use it-such a low bar for hiring these goons?If no phone apps have permissions can they be hacked?Will wrapping heavy duty aluminum foil around a phone three times help?
Yes it is for those who care about the environment down there. It's actually a win for many of us who fought against it. Let Exxon pack up its plastic manufacturing plant and get tf out asap!
Yeah idk about that KY rating... must be based on pre-2022 data. Congressional redistricting effective January 2022 gerrymandered Louisville and Frankfort into western/ rural district.🙄😭
Look closer...
He's wearing the Oura ring
Isn't he wearing the Palantir/ Oura ring?🤔
No. They have painted murals on their side in some places.
Also shows the beginning of the downward spiral of msm and death of true investigative reporting.
As the Netflix documentary on Katrina clearly illuminates, the government institutions that we have come to rely on are long gone. Seems Katrina was just the first foreshadowing event - care of mother nature.
Do they have recently disappeared people on them?
But he is all up in Abbott and has came out smellin like a rose everytime he is convicted of anything - AND was re-elected.

No because too many people in those states would suffer even though they voted blue. Gerrymandering is not the fault of the voters and there is little that can be done if no legit "blue" candidates.
And no one doing anything but recording🤔
Vets heading to DC: pls be sure to wear something with your uniform that helps you stand out from the uniformed guard being deployed by the fascists.This vet has a middle-eastern styled scarf, but when/ if the "shit hits the fan", fellow protesters need to be able to easily identify the helpers.
Tried that in San Antonio for a minute...a tunnel from Bexar county courthouse to the airport...didn't bother to sell it as a flood infrastructure project though, which might of actually worked in SA...
Is this the competitive replacement for Alligator Alcatraz?
Majority of the population in most states has over a 30bmi so might not even need to light up...
Undercover Shriners practicing???
Eesh...those feet should not be in flip flops, especially in public...hopefully he gets the help he needs (so much needed and so little time)...
What specifically do the swallowtails like about that gully?
Watch for this guy to get picked up in next few months...of course we will not hear about it from CNN or any Texas media.
Tow truck companies loving it...lots of people yelling but no one doing a damn thing...
Just went there today for alt email account, and will most likely add the VPN. Like that its in Switzerland, not here in US.
Great idea and everyone in San Anto (and all of south Texas) should do this❣️
Natural state of existance... currently recovering from multiple human encounters while avoiding any more by napping and watching a perfectly placed TV from a perfectly placed couch for doing so.
One.honest.calm and convincing.conversation.at.a.time.
Oh I agree, just wanted the names of whom is holding out. I suspect San Antonio would lose a rep too, so wondering if Rep. Bernal and Rep. Cesar were holding out as well.
Who did not return? Lacking info here.
Meta=MAGA. An incovenient truth for many. Off all things Meta and Amazon. The fact that it makes it a bit more difficult to stay connected or buy/ sell items is so miniscule compared to the sacrifices made by previous generations. Seems like such a minor effort, but COULD work if more were willing.
As is sexism, ageism, etc.
Yeah that is a reasonable timeframe. I sat well over two hours between both cuts and stitching sessions...then they turned me out to drive home in middle of rainy rush hour.
Apparently it IS happening in Cali, but no media attention :/. Saw something on here yesterday about that.
How many hours total? I feel almost 7 hours is really too long for two surgeries...the numbing wears off within an hour and have to totally redo it prior to each cutting and stitching it up. There HAS to be a better way.
How many hours and how many numbing sessions did you have? 3rd Moh's surgery (1st and 2nd were ten years ago), was there almost 7 hours with 2 cuttings, 3 numbing sessions, and 2 sets of stitches (deep and topical). Going to get stitches removed in a week & dont know if will let them do 3 more.
Ann Richards would be so proud of these legislators! Are donations to Texas Democratic Party going well? I moved out of state last year but still donated.
Bullies always gonna bully and especially when the orange one gave them all the go ahead waaaayyyy back in days leading up to first election.
Musk tried to get a tunnel approved from San Antonio city hall to the airport a few years back, but it was brought to light and faced too much opposition...he's a rodent by nature.
Meanwhile another nugget in the great shell game...

My father once said this exact thing to me and I recall first feeling proud and then a little sad immediately after. I kept it in mind during my teaching career and made sure those students "I didn't have to worry about" always felt appreciated.
Great- looking forward to many more of the nonsober 40to50 yos staying with their 70+yo moms in section 8 apartments and subletting floor space to their other nonsober buddies at my senior plex.😬
Because they can't read...or won't.
Eesh...using AI in Human Resources to review resumes and applications is bad enough, but this is a whole 'nother form of fresh hell.
However, a benefit of the AI summary is fewer ads/ sponsored content which also might be lowering internet traffic.
Next Monday - or was it last night? Today is Tuesday right????
Most us have known this for years and yet even our elected Dem legislators seem to have had "other fish to fry" back when they held majority. Same thing with immigration debacle.
Learned MAGA behavior...distract, distract, distract...

Trash panda
😢😢😢
Abbott always controls the narrative...just like in Uvalde...
Abbott approved so...but special session being called by him about redistricting cos not enough gerrymandered GOP control.
I mean, priorities right???
www.politico.com/live-updates...
if only there was an easier way to vote - like scanning your state issued Real ID/ driver's license ....we have been begging for this for years...but so far no real legislation on this or meaningful immigration reform has been introduced by Dems either...
same policies in most all metro areas it seems...in SanAntonio 4 mobile shower and laundry units all but disappeared since purchased and originally deployed around 2018 by former city councilman Robert Trevino for downtown district.
Eeesh...this bozo billionaire definitely does NOT represent middle America.
Exactly why I downloaded and shared via email to back up on external drive for future generation(s).
No sympathy for those idiots either from me. Just wanted to clarify your source and relate my personal experience with my age group. I also don't trust AARP's opinion polls - even if allegedly done by AP.
Thanks and looks like the 49 to 64 age group was largest voting group in 120K sampling and 53% maybe voted that way according to survey from a week out. I personally know of 2 males out of 75 individuals at my 55+ senior plex in red KY that voted for that asshat.
Calling BS on this uninformedness...state your source please.
Exactly....or they'll just have ICE (and the fakes) grab 'em up and let 'em expire from all the horrific conditions, moving them around and further south to facilities without AC.
Already stripping folks of medicaid here in KY so yeah, will be lots of homeless grannies for sure...
My 2nd favorite butterfly...I know its not fair to pick one sibling as fav over another in our species, but I don't think butterflies mind😉. Thanks for sharing❣️
Gerrymandering in its biggest and purest form is the main reason the GOP has maintained control.
This is my favorite butterfly - thank you❣️
I just can't listen to his lies despite being dragged into a war...watching Letterman TV in a quonset hut in central IL wondering what I'll awake to outside in the morning...
We have been speaking up since the election and absolutely nothing was done by any elected or appointed Dems to investigate the weirdest election results ever.
Someone should start introducing amendments to current immigration legislation and get GOP/ MAGA legislators (and Dems) on the record for their stances.
"The 6th" is also a film every American should watch.
The non-MAGA legislators need to stop wringing their hands and get to work on some REAL immigration legislation. Schiff has at least tried to work on ending Citizen's United. What are the rest of these elected shills doing?
Here's your LAPD when they think no one's looking
Superimpose the Felon's face on this and share with all.
🤣🤣🤣
These are trying to takeover the treeline outside my apartment in south central KY right now. Should I get an owl decoy to scare them away, or will it also scare the cardinals, robins, wrens, and jays? Right now I am clapping wooden blocks several times a day when I hear them.
🤮🤮🤮
😭😭😭
Pledging and actual donating are not necessarily mutually inclusive. Need specifics.
Not to mention their contributions to the worldwide microplastic contamination, which is slowly killing all living organisms through ingestion.
And most likely without A/C in west Texas...sounds more like hell🥵🤬👺👹.
Go to americanpromise.net and sign the pledge! 23 states have already committed to pass proposed legislation.
Welcome to my world. So sorry you are experiencing this too.
My hate has no beginning and will never end.
Yes and americanpromise.net is trying to do something about it state by state since introducing any type of federal legislation is pointless.
Retaliation is NOT the way to go - especially with suspected vote tampering. Too many vulnerable folks who don't deserve even more punitive measures than what is already happening just because of where they live.
Mountain laurels are one of the very few pleasing things in south Texas...smfh
If you can't join in, it's your own conscience - no one else will know.
I never understood why that had to happen anyway. Seemed like a misogynistic/ archaic thing to do after the 1960s.
💯%
They pay no taxes so of course they can and should have been doing so all along...although many suffering are reluctant to jump through their religious "hoops" to get assistance.
These symptoms are not exclusive to Parkinson's so...
Wtf??? Should have been arrested for indecent exposure at minimum!🤬
Absolutely!
Right on point -as always❣️❣️❣️
Despite the flooding in and around Lexington KY, there was a good turnout at the Hands Off protest yesterday.
Came here to say this, although not like the cheetoh and his minions adhere to any legalities...
