Texas Progressives talk elections items

The Texas Progressives hope that you're a real environmentalist with belated Earth Day thoughts while saying good-bye to the good, the bad and the ugly of the late Daniel Dennett.

Bibi and his ZioNazis looking to start WWIII? The government of Israel recently bent regulations to allow red heifers (Yes, THOSE red heifers) in to the country, and they're coming from right here in Tex-ass.

SocraticGadfly, having seen that H-E-B has arrived on the north side of the Metroplex, decided to indulge nostalgia, if nothing else, but found it (and the H-E-B cult) crushed by reality when compared with shopping options he already has.

Too late for things like the Sutherland Springs mass shooting, of course, but I welcome the Army largely getting rid of the possibility of discharge instead of court martial for soldiers accused of violent crimes. And, given the Sutherland Springs shooter was actually in the Air Force, ALL military branches should have such a policy.

Rephrasing the Trib? Not a single Democrat in Texas voted against continuing the proxy war in Ukraine. That said, a couple of Dems in Texas were part of the 37 overall to vote against more money for Israel without strings attached; sadly, the ConservaDem running for Senate, Colin Allred, was not part of them. Dem votes in Texas and nationally were slightly better on the TikTok ban, but Allred again voted ConservaDem. The Congressional Progressive Caucus remains the Pergressuve Cucks on Russia-Ukraine. Sidebar reminder: Texas Greens have NO candidate for the U.S. Senate. More on that later.

DEI administrators getting the boot from state universities? Wingnuts in government aren't going to help out by clarifying guidelines; they're happy with fear ruling the roost.

Tarrant County DA José Garza is under wingnut attack under the Lege's so-called "rogue prosecutor" law.

Off the Kuff published two more HCAD Board candidate interviews, with Melissa Noriega for position 2 and Kathy Blueford-Daniels for position 1.

The San Antonio Report introduces the Bexar County candidates for their appraisal district board. 

The Fort Worth Report attended a candidates forum for Tarrant Appraisal District Board hopefuls.

Torchy's vs Velvet battle going nationwide, in a Monthly long read. Fortunately, the piece notes the angle of both companies' founders, like that of most Mexican fast-ish food chains, being Anglos. 

WTF is Alex Jones doing in Terlingua?

Mother Jones flunky David Corn still pushing Russiagate.

Neil at the Houston Democracy Project posted about his letter sent to each member of Houston City Council asking about the Republican Chair & Republican majority on Council's so-called Public Safety Committee. 

Your Local Epidemiologist goes over the research on the "hygiene hypothesis" for kids' health. (And, it looks like YLE is becoming a "brand.")

 Texas 2036 has bad news about how our students are doing in math. 

The Observer warns that the recent Panhandle wildfire is a harbinger.
