    I think that it’s now safe to say that we Texans now live in a failed state.  30 years of GOP rule, setting our own standard, living the “Texas Dream,” which they’ve bragged about relentlessly…and let

    My daughters and I talk about this. I’ve always been puzzled about where the idea of on-campus indoctrination comes from. I don’t think humanities and liberal arts faculty are any more or less toleran

Currently looking for a home in the Dallas area so I guess I can scratch Rockwall off the list of potential places to buy a home lol WHAT THE FUCK

Rockwall isn’t Dallas but if that bothers you enough to not move there, then basically all of northern DFW burbs are also off your list.

Tbh I’ve kinda been looking in Oak Cliff at some of the remodels (I'm originally from Laredo and have lived in San Antonio for last 18 years so raza doesn’t bother me).

The Cliff is awesome. Bishop Arts was fun back when I lived there a few years ago. If you’re into live music, The Kessler always had fun shows.

Okay, Rockwall is weird as shit and I'm not going to defend Frisco/Allen/Plano unconditionally but there are some relatively diverse pockets of population there.  

Dallas stretches up to McKinney.  It doesn't "stretch" to Rockwall or those places.

If Rockwall is too MAGA, he wouldn’t like this place either.

The diversity of Frisco Allen and Plano you speak of is South Asian/Indian. That's not *really* diversity IMO. 

I do find it funny that in these places the mediocre chains nobody goes to (e.g. Fuzzy Tacos, Kentrucky Fried Chicken, etc.) are being taken over by IndoPak fast food.

Less Nazi's, more butter chicken with naan.

I guess I need to get back to Rockwall because the Woodlands>>>>>Rockwall.  If the Woodlands is as Trumpy at least it has a Stepford Wives vibe that is doable.

Too many "student driver, please be patient" stickers 🤬

I get in trouble with my wife because when my Allen grandson tells me the names of his classmates (in one of the diverse areas) I just chortle, King of the Hill style.  

so what was even the point? 🙄

They brought national attention to the fact that Texas Democrats have less fight in them than quisling statewide GOP leaders wholly obsequious to DC and two west Texas oil men, so there is that…

I read somewhere that them coming back was because of 2 reasons:

1- they wanted national attention to what was happening, which they got

2- was contingent on California passing the trigger law election vote, which they did Friday 

 

I would have preferred them stay away longer, but the media is on to Russia/Ukraine again.  Non-stop all day long

Make them fucking arrest you! Good lord, Democrats have no idea how to play the game.

For the most part, Americans on the left have too much to lose. We’re educated. We have careers, nest eggs, families, plans for a cozy retirement. 

We don’t want to lose what we’ve worked so hard to obtain. So we let them take a little bit without pushing back, thinking it’s not worth risking it all. And then they take another little bit. And then another. And then another. 

And before you know it, everything’s gone. The math of opposition never makes sense at any one step, and we’re too blinded by normalcy bias to see that we’re tumbling down a staircase all the way to the bottom, little bit by little bit.

Gov. Newsom’s approach is the right one. Dig your heels in, now. Tell the fascists to fuck off and do not yield. Never settle or cut a deal, because there is no deal to be had. Fight like hell until you win or die trying.

I left the state for reasons not related to politics, but looking back I am okay with being where I am now. I am from Texas, but I will never live there again no matter what political party controls the state.
 

I personally find the Texas exceptionalism attitude to be just as out of touch and divisive domestically as the American exceptionalism attitude comes across abroad to both friends and foes. We are all just people trying to make it in this world and differentiating what person or group of people is worth more based on where they are from is an attitude that needs to be retired permanently. Just way too much toxicity in thinking in such terms about our fellow human beings. 

Lord, today, yes.

what is it with chuds telling people to "cope" or "cry harder" and whatnot? Saw it a ton yesterday from imma's buddy stassney and it's like they're spiking the football on being a shithead. Really strange antisocial stuff.

You saw it once from me recently, and you yourself have used the phrase over the years. The search function does work.

I really can't blame the Democrats for coming back to Texas.  I mean, it's almost football season.

The Texas Dems on the run accomplished their goal: attention to what Abbott is doing. They were never going to be successful forever. Allowing Abbott to do this quiet would have been the sin.

By creating attention to Abbott steal, this gives the Dems cover to repeat this in other states. Yes it's a race to the bottom but Dems need to stop being the party who plays fair. If the GOP wants to ultimately destroy the US, then so be it.

They should have stayed away.   Bringing attention to this unconstitutional bullshit isn't enough.

Quote

A Texas federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked from taking full effect a new state law requiring public schools to display donated posters of the Ten Commandments in classrooms.

The ruling only applies to the nearly a dozen Texas school districts named in the lawsuit, though attorneys who brought forth the case expressed hope in court that other districts would not implement a law that a federal judge has now found unconstitutional.

In his decision, U.S. District Judge Fred Biery concluded that the law favors Christianity over other faiths, is not neutral with respect to religion and is likely to interfere with families' “exercise of their sincere religious or nonreligious beliefs in substantial ways.”

“There are ways in which students could be taught any relevant history of the Ten Commandments without the state selecting an official version of scripture, approving it in state law, and then displaying it in every classroom on a permanent basis,” Biery wrote in his opinion, adding that the law “crosses the line from exposure to coercion.”

Exactly.  The dems did what they could do with the very limited power the shitty people of the state of Texas have provided them.  This shit show is on the voters of Texas who blindly reward incompetence and corruption.   The dems accomplished their mission.  Attention has been drawn.  Now they need to let it happen so that Cali can do their thing.  Staying away and stalling Texas from doing  what they are going to do anyway (with no time limit) only provides ammunition to those trying to delay Cali from passing their resolution.  That resolution needs to be passed ASAP in order to allow it on the ballot in Nov.

I'm with you.  They ran away a couple of years ago over something or other.  That did so much good I can't even remember what the issue was.

A week from now, no one outside of BlueSky nerds and other political Twitter adjacent groups will remember it.  Then when CA tries it, the right wing propaganda network will fire up and claim Newsom is doing it unilaterally and has no justification.
