Atrocities Documentation Collation (a week-ending round-up from far left Texas, part 1)


This one will have to appear in segments.  We can thank our lucky stars that the House, in a fit of pique, adjourned for the weekend because the Senate is sitting on legislation approved by the lower chamber by near-unanimous consent.  (That's not to say they are all good bills.)


Nobody is more upset with the week's developments than the women of Texas; mothers and those that would be.  By their own choice and not.


"Somewhat indifferent" might be a little soft.


More on the Guvnah's really great week (for him, nobody else) in the next segment.


A lot of damage done by Speaker Forehead, but don't exhale yet; Dan Patrick's gang is still in town.


In a legislative session that has been by far the most extreme and conservative ever, the two Republican-controlled branches and the respective factions within the TXGOP are still slinging mud -- and Mucus -- like they're all infected with COVID.

They're certainly consumed with a raging case of hate, as the masks and gloves have come off and the knives and bricks and bats come out.  At this point Lege Democrats are like the poor children in Gaza and Yemen: collateral damage.


As you might guess, I have a lot more than three things to say about this ... later.  But also a stand-alone environmental post, Ted Cruz and Louie Gohmert behaving badly, and some criminal and social justice items, all of which I'll try to get done today get to over the weekend.

Here's a few calm-me-downs.


And it's small solace, but stormy weather sometimes produces a beautiful thing, in that 'darkest before the dawn' kinda way.
