Receipts now coming in detailing that Mike Miles, now head of HSID, is a lying, corrupt, piece of shit.

I think we all knew that when it came out about his scheme to transfer Texas taxpayer funds to his Colorado charter school

Too convoluted for the hoi polloi to swallow. They need pablum. This is easy serve and easy to digest.

Miles is the only evidence anyone needs to support the claim that the government is actively trying to destroy public education.

Absolutely nobody involved thinks the man is doing a good job, except for those who actually have the power to fix the issue... if they wanted to.

Well, I believe the TEA gave him the green light following a brief "investigation" of the allegation.

10 Commandments and prayer time. Following Oklahoma and Louisiana's lead. That's what has become of this state. We are just another dipshit SEC state. Fuck our "leaders".

https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/state/2025/03/05/bill-requiring-ten-commandments-in-classrooms-heads-to-senate-floor/81351406007/

A Texas Senate committee on Tuesday approved a bill to require all public schools to display the Ten Commandments in each classroom, teeing it up to breeze through the Republican-dominated upper chamber.

Senate Bill 10 continues the conservative Christian movement’s confrontation with separation of church and state as established by the U.S. Supreme Court nearly 45 years ago. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, the three-term Republican who presides over the Senate, has identified the proposal as a legislative priority.

Sen. Phil King, R-Weatherford, who authored SB 10, said he expects Texas will be sued if the Legislature enacts the bill, and he expressed hope that "it'll work its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court." There, the conservative-leaning bench would have the chance to overturn a 1980 decision that blocked Kentucky from putting the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.

The Senate panel on Tuesday also advanced SB 11, which would allow school districts to provide dedicated prayer time for students and teachers, and SB 13, which would let parents access their children's school library checkout histories and review library catalogs. Parents can choose to opt their children out of participation in prayer periods and school boards can vote not to set aside time for religious practice.

Can our school board vote to not display the 10 Commandments in the classroom?

One of the things I used to like about this State is we did things our own way, regardless of whether it was Democrats or Republicans in charge. Now we just seem to crawl on our bellies to copy whatever Oklahoma does or whatever Donald Trump does. Texas isn't Texas anymore, it is just another branch of the MAGA project.  That sucks.

Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell resigns to take position in Trump administration

Quote

Gravell announced his resignation just before the March 11 Commissioners' Court meeting.

Gravell will serve as the Region 6 advocate for the Small Business Administration in the Office of Advocacy. The office represents a five-state area including New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.

Gravell was supposed to be the top contender to replace John Carter in Tx31 next year. I wonder if he'll still run, or if this was some sort of plan to clear the field for one of Carter's grandkids or something.

I’m going to assume that he’s still the next Congressional Rep from District 31.

Put the Tesla in the garage 

virtue signaling doesn't do shit to beat the facists. I'll leave my pink hat, my "this is not normal" sign in the closet and leave my tesla in the driveway and focus on actually doing something that has a direct effect on outcomes other than just voting.

Sure it will. 

With all do respect I’ve been an activist for a long time. The closer your actions are to actual votes the better. Vote, GOTV, and fundraise are what matters right now.  Next up is visible protest, hearing attendance, and putting pressure with letters and calls on elected officials. From there you get into things like selling a used Tesla on the secondary market and posting on message boards. While I post too I’ll focus on that first category.

I can envision a near future state where lake Travis and other communities like it won’t have a school board because a combination of loss of funding and loss of students to private schools because of vouchers will shutter the ISD.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. I’ll make sure management is notified.

The dollars you would have spent on fundraising are better spent on ammunition and other necessary supplies for the coming events.

Fundraising in small local elections such as the school board elections mentioned in Troph’s post absolutely matters.

National and statewide elections is another story.

thats the unspoken plan. When that occurs, some political donors will be celebrating.
