    Why wasn’t this handled like other similar situations?

    The corporate media are so lacking in self awareness as to be a pitiful shame. I can recall at this point in the run up to the general in 2016, , they were laser focused on Hillary’s emails and the threat they posed to our national security. Matt Lauer went ape shit on Hillary in an interview about them. Now, they work around Trump’s 91 charges without dilemma. We need to go back to the days when news organizations were cost centers.

    Wade was Fani’s third choice for the job she finally hired him for. Hers was not some long planned sinister plot to employ her boyfriend. Stop pretending not to know that. Still the most Atlanta shit ever.

    Until most Americans acknowledge that we’re living in unprecedented times, then the danger that portends our future as a Democracy cannot be overstated. What we witnessed last night was not normal. It was not normal for a presidential primary. That Trump is within 15 points of Biden in even the most flawed polls is scary. Bad info hygiene, years of disinformation, fear and ignorance infecting the electorate can destroy us. That said, Biden will win and it won’t be all that close. We must remain vigilant.

    I’m reliving that scene at Obama’s SOTU address where Alito shook his head in disgust when Obama called out the SCOTUS for green lighting Citizen United. Obama should kicked him in the nuts.

    Trump is at a cash disadvantage against Biden. Enter Citizens United: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/us/politics/trump-elon-musk.html Donald Trump, Seeking Cash Infusion, Meets With Elon Musk It’s not clear whether Mr. Musk will spend any of his billions on the former president’s behalf. If he does, he could erase Mr. Trump’s financial disadvantage in the 2024 race.

    Eh, Texas was in preclearance for decades because it deserved to be. We were/are what our record says we are

    Tech wouldn’t even disclose the specifics of the offending remarks. Scary stuff in this state.

    Being DeSouza’s SIL should disqualify one from holding office.

    There was the time he called school shooting survivors “media prosti-tots” for advocating for gun-control policies. The meme mocking a Harvey Weinstein accuser, and the other meme mocking actresses for wearing “whore dresses to protest sexual harassment.” The prediction that rising acceptance of homosexuality would lead to pedophilia and “the END of civilization as we know it”; the talk of arresting transgender people for their bathroom choice; the use of antisemitic tropes; the Facebook posts calling Hillary Clinton a “heifer” and Michelle Obama a man.

    Gutierrez is more progressive than Colin which probably means Colin has a more realistic chance of defeating Rafael in the general.

    And that’s how it’s done when you lose a presidential election. One calls and graciously concedes.

    True. This kind of thing is normally hashed out in the judge’s chambers. Again, this is the most Atlanta shit ever.

    So, the only position faculty at Texas universities can take with impunity is one that uncritically supports Israel? https://www.texastribune.org/2024/03/04/texas-tech-university-professor-israel-hamas/ https://forward.com/fast-forward/573226/university-texas-austin-teaching-assistants-suspended-palestinian/

    In their ongoing effort to outlaw black history in Florida, the GOP wants to make sure you know that some enslaved people were paid for their work: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/florida-republican-alex-andrade-slaves-paid-1234979351/ Florida state Rep. Alex Andrade forcefully argued the point that some slaves were paid during a discussion of an anti-CRT bill the House passed on Friday. The overwhelming majority of slaves were, of course, not paid for their labor. Moreover, slaves were treated as property, without basic rights.

    They’re cousins. I don’t understand that evolved people can’t get along.

    Chuckle, who are you quoting?

    God, we need critical thinkers in the dumb country. That some goof like Rufo could get half of the country all bug eyed over a theory that the majority of them can’t explain, is depressing.

    I just provided an example of equity, or more specifically inequity. Relax.

    Tech and Houston find themselves in a perpetual state of catch up to UT and aggy because of long term inequities in funding. Even if the state started to fund all systems equally starting tomorrow, they would still be behind because they’ve always been behind, and without an equitable arrangement, there is no catching up.

    Well, he’s wasted millions of our tax dollars on razor wire, bus and plane tickets for migrants.

    I’d like to hear from those of you who really believe DEI is a danger to Texans? What’s bad about diversity, or inclusion? Most people opposed to equity can’t tell you what it means.
