Watched a performance of “Les Dialogues Des Carmélites” last night. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant performance. The final scene…. So emotionally riveting as the martyrs of Campiègne story came to an end.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

JFC @marypezzulo.bsky.social — what have we become?? www.vaticannews.va/en/church/ne...

This is a good news headline. May the new bishop be a constant thorn against Gov Abbott‘s conscience.

@realtexaspaul.com Do you know if the Dems have a challenger in mind for Cornyn’s seat? 🤔

Whatever happened to Vivek decrying that US students werent focusing on programming, coding, et al?

@dangerousones.bsky.social Great call out of New Gingrich as the #1 „God of MAGA“. His embrace of the „Contract With America“ elevated The Heritage Foundation from a think tank wonk to a major player in policy making. While The Heritage Foundation gets credit for writing P2025, Newt was the one …

It would be a powerful statement if FIFA cancelled their contracts with the US for the upcoming world cup matches and re-directed them to Canada and Mexico instead. Viva futbol.

Still working through #TheHouseOnMangoStreet The vignette “Alicia Who Sees Mice” ends on such a haunting note. Couple that with its opening sentence and the whole vignette shifts into the realm of the frightening. “Close your eyes and they’ll go away, her father says, or You’re just imagining”

Texas is linking school funding to this curriculum. Schools are already underfunded are being promised more $$ per capita if the curriculum is adopted. Make no mistake— school districts will accept the curriculum for that promise of add’l funding alone. tea.texas.gov/academics/in...
