a sign o fhope; from Huff Post: "A stream of left-wing protesters interrupted the Democratic National Committee’s final chair candidate forum on Thursday night, shouting slogans about climate change and billionaire influence before being escorted out of a Georgetown University theater.
The spaced-out nature and scale of the disruptions — one after another, after another — immobilized the forum for a period,"
O'Malley praised these kids.....good for him
"The Sunrise Movement, a youth-led, left-wing climate action group, said the first three protesters, who, about 20 minutes into the forum, began separately standing up to shout slogans while candidates or moderators were speaking, were affiliated with their group.
The activists sought to draw attention to the Sunrise Movement’s pledge, calling on DNC chair candidates to revive the Obama-era ban on corporate PAC and lobbyist donations to the DNC and use “every tool” at their disposal to discourage super PAC spending in Democratic primaries."
Hero of the Day: Congressman Marc vVeasey talking to his constituents about ICE raids AT a HS. From FWST: "A “Know Your Rights” table was set up Thursday across from North Side High School by Congressman Marc Veasey to inform families about their legal options if detained by ICE, and address community anxiety after a substitute teacher made a social media post inviting immigration officers to the Fort Worth high school to arrest students.
Zero of the Day: The other MAGA and Jewish Congressman Craig Goldman in FTW: who defended not one woman or black or brown person working at FAA Soutwest Region Office. One must assume he agrees with Triump and they cause the crash in DC. This office covers most of the Soutwest USA.
Being Jewish Goldman had nothing to say about Musk's anti-semitic antics.
A quick X to my MAGA congressmen about how Trump spent the morning maligning the men and women of the Southwest Regional FAA office in North FTW.
'As Trump spent the morning trashing the men and women of the Southwest Regional Office of the FAA, your constituents, i wonder, do you agree with Trump that they are 'a bunch of DEI hires' and not qualified to do their jobs?
Speak up and stand up for your constituents."
PS: No one from TCDP, the Chair, the 26 EC's or the 100's of Pct Chairs could bother to do the same. Elapsed time, 16 sec.
King Musk of Caldwell.....and Austin....yes he's now a Texan , is up to no good whist DC burns
'Alarms are being raised in the wake of a new report from the Washington Post claiming that allies of X owner Elon Musk have successfully pushed out the highest-ranking official at the United States Treasury Department over their demands to access highly sensitive government payment information."
its like the guys on the loading dock broke into the payroll office and changed the signature line on the payroll checks.
They basically are trying to get ahold of the payments systems....u know where USA pays its bills.
Telsa is having a bad year and Trump wants to get rid of E credits, Tesla's mains source of revenue.
I hope the vendors in Bastrop insist on cash....this guy could cut and run at any time.
He is certainly Dr. Evil operating from his tunnels and liar somewhere along the Colorado River.
*Ronnie Jackson, TX 13....one fine individual...from Wiki
In March 2018, Trump nominated Jackson to be U.S. secretary of veterans affairs to succeed David Shulkin,[6][7][8] but Jackson withdrew the following month amid allegations of misconduct and mismanagement during his service in the White House.[9][10][11][12][13][14] In February 2019, Trump appointed Jackson assistant to the president and chief medical advisor, a new position in the Executive Office.[15]
Jackson retired from the Navy as a rear admiral (lower half) in December 2019.[16] In 2020, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. In 2021, an investigation by the Defense Department inspector general found that Jackson had engaged in various inappropriate behaviors as an admiral; the following year, the Navy retroactively demoted him to the rank of captain. Jackson continued to represent himself as an admiral until his demotion was brought to light in 2024.
In his best of days he's is on the spectrum known as the dark triad....that's malignant narcissm combined with soiopathy and Machiavellianism.
basically his ego is so fragile the only way his candle burns bright is to put out others....and since he's a sociopath he doesn't care who gets hurt......that includes not another living soul on earth, including his own family
he's also and 80 year old fat slob with some level of dementia. We don't know what meds he is on. We could ask our own Ronnie Jackson*, former doc and current TX congressman......but he seems to have a large aversion to the truth.
it was always understood that the real power and agenda setting was with the Lt. Gov. The Gub sat around appointing his buddies to the insurance commission or utilities commission so they could get busy benefiting thier friends.
However alot of this cruel agenda setting and perverse fixation to waste money on the performance art at the border ( Texas hasn't arrested and deported one illegal border crosser in case u didn't know) seems to now be Abbott's.
I don't know if he was always so cruel and unchristian or if sitting on his ass and getting cheered on by the pyscophaths finally swayed him to the dark path. I gotta think a guy in a wheelchair may think life owes him and he starts to believe his own hubris. IOW the Made -for -TV success story of how he picked himself up from the pile of wood chippings and rolled his way to the Gubnorship
FYI Gregg , its a little different 'success' story if u come home from school and both your parents are missing. At that point its you and your sister against the State of Texas, 12 million mostly white haters and nearly half a nation. This will not be a Hollywood dramedy. Chances are pretty good lives will spiral.
know any union member that voted for Trump? of course u do.
double whammy if they are Airforce retirees doing A&A at Alliance or DFW......or the whole cadre an DEI at FAA HQ near Alliance..........and just ur regular rank and file in all trades
Trump despises u both. military and unions
"In his ongoing rampage against the laws of the land, Trump this week fired National Labor Relations Board acting chair Gwynne Wilcox — despite her congressional appointment not being up until 2028.
Wilcox’s firing closes down the NLRB, because it’s left with just two members, and the Supreme Court has ruled that the board needs at least three to issue any rulings."
Breaking: Abbott refuses filthy lucre of Biden's IRA Act....
actually he didn't or hasn't so far,,,but this must have Tim Dunn pissed
"Being sustainable in rural Texas just got a little bit easier.
San Miguel Electric Cooperative received an investment of over $1.4 billion from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to switch to battery and solar energy.
The USDA announced that San Miguel will power 47 counties in Texas with renewable energy and have the environmental equivalent of removing 446,000 cars from the road every year. It will also create up to 600 new jobs.

I may be out of date...but doesnt' school funding depend on the # of students attending and of which they count every day
so if even 10% of kids stary home to avoid ICE, and it not just kids in class, but parents DO/PU , isn't it a big hit to a small school district?
Yes, that's correct.
