The Weekend Wrangle from Far Left Texas


Going light on the unpleasant news to end the week.  If you need to get your sweat on and expend some outrage at our Guns Over People politicians, there are outlets to do that across the state today.


Meanwhile Pussy Riot at the Capitol.


I'm not watching the January 6th hearings.  I saw that movie the day it came out.  I'm waiting for the awards shows criminal prosecutions of the people at the top who conspired to motivate the useful idiots, the ones currently being held to justice.  I'm more concerned about things like this.


I presume there's polling happening right now that will update us on any changing of hearts and/or minds.  Same with assault weapons, Greg Abbott's re-election chances, etc. and all that, you know.  So we're waiting.

Meanwhile we're burning up about a few other things.


I guess that's the segue to cops doing their usual thing.


Yes, we all remember the good old days when prisoner transfers went right by the book.

I did say 'burning up'.


More left for Monday on Texas conservatives' latest response to protecting children: poutrage at drag shows.  Right now I need some calm-me-downs.

First: so long to these two Texans.

The "Bad News for Baptists and Greg Abbott" Wrangle


Scattershooting (*groan*) while the Texas Progressive Alliance stands around and watches the neo-Nazis in Ukraine rebrand themselves ...
Don't believe I've ever seen Governor Fish Lips' lips so tight.  He must be under duress.


Perhaps that additional $50 million that Dave Carney was bragging about last month is out of reach now.  Speaking of $50 million:


More committees, fewer school doors, bulletproof shields for cowardly cops; anything they can think of to avoid the actual problem.  Speaking of shitty law enforcement officers:


On and on it goes, with no end in sight.  Same old shit, same old nothing.


Vote harder.  "Vote Blue".


I just don't think that's going to work out any better than it has for the past twenty-something years.


Consider the definition of insanity.  Then consider doing something besides what you've been doing over and over again.


Just a suggestion.

When I read this my first thought was, "Hey! Maybe Shelley Kuffner has finally seen the light!"  Then I read 'her', and realized, 'nope, not yet'.


Here's a few more environmental notes.


Once again: thank you, Joe Biden.

A few social justice tweets; bad news first.


Some good news and some activist items.


Segue-ing into the soothers.
