  1. This so great, but F’ville is very much a blue dot within a sea of red. Walking around town there last week, I saw lots of pride and trans flags, and local elected officials there are mostly progressive. It’s starting to spread as NWA grows as a metro area, but the rest of the state still makes up for it.
  2. Sadly, Douglas from Nitzer Ebb died today. He has been ill and wasn’t on this tour (it was just Bon and another dude). He had a commanding stage presence and voice, for sure. https://www.brooklynvegan.com/nitzer-ebbs-douglas-mccarthy-has-died-at-58/
  3. NM - dupe post - Da Fino beat me to it.
  4. That photo is from a construction site in NYC from a few years back, and just keeps getting recycled for these "aNtIfA sOrOs DeMoCrAt CiTiEs" posts. Please stop.
  5. Rick Mitchell on NBC5 says the really bad stuff should hit D/FW around midnight. Just moved in all the patio furniture. We’ll see what happens…
  6. “I love you.”
  7. “Call Big Lou - he’s like you, on meds too!”
  8. Anyone rejoicing when Tinderholt announced his retirement from the Leg should have known better. O'Hare's scheming continues, following the ridiculous Tarrant County redistricting plan that passed yesterday. https://www.keranews.org/politics/2025-06-03/republican-tony-tinderholt-running-for-tarrant-county-commissioners-court
  9. Tim Cowlishaw needs to actually talk on mic. So far this morning, it sounds like he's just making occasional asides and laughing in the background because he's hard to hear.
  10. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/03/nx-s1-5418080/pbs-npr-trump-rescission-public-broadcasting
  11. Given the hateful crap I have seen posted in the comments of pretty much every pride month post the past two days, I am not hopeful about that whatsoever.
  12. I noticed in the TxTrib story about the STAAR bill failing that the Senate had slipped a provision into their version of the bill that would allow the TEA to take over, and appoint a conservator for, any district that sued the state/TEA, about anything. It's a blessing that bill failed.
  13. Elon's latest troubles are largely self-inflicted, but also, example number 7,345 of ETTD.
  14. Not sure where to put this, but yikes. https://www.cpr.org/2025/06/01/boulder-attack-pearl-street/
  15. PBS files suit against Trump, joining NPR. https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/30/media/pbs-trump-lawsuit-npr-executive-order-end-funding
  16. In essentially one generation, we have gone from having folks in state and national leadership who, while differing on policy sometimes to an extreme level, were still generally respected, knowledgeable, and held in high esteem - to cretin like this in many crucial roles. I don’t see any easy way to recover from this.
  17. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/27/nx-s1-5413094/npr-public-radio-lawsuit-trump-funding-ban
  18. A salutatorian in Mansfield used her graduation speech platform to go after cuts in public education and higher education funding, along with the Texas voucher program. 👏 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16VhgT3KQH/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  19. Yass, Wilks, Dunn all told Abbott he’d get this done or they’d primary him. He did the same to all our R legislators (and followed through last election cycle). And here we are.
  20. SIAP - but I don't even have words for this Hunger Games shit. https://www.thedailybeast.com/kristi-noem-wants-migrants-to-compete-for-citizenship-on-hunger-games-style-reality-show/?via=mobile&source=email
  21. Welp. https://apnews.com/article/trump-npr-pbs-republicans-public-broadcasting-f0e3e1acb96986732a0211833165bf84
  22. Rufo is vile, and shoulders much of the blame for where we are today in terms of our national dialogue (at least on the R side).
  23. I don’t have a problem with it. Folks need to know who these guys are and hear directly how absolutely batshit their ideas are. Know thine enemy and all that. Plus, they are already very well platformed via X and the whole right-wing media ecosystem.
  24. This all feels like it’s being orchestrated by Steven Miller.
