If I wasn't living the nightmare, this would be one of the funniest posts ever. Kudos @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

The Texas A&M Aggies are going to be the death of me. #WhatAGame

Pavlo Kazarin,a well-known journalist and military officer, wrote today: "I was once convinced that my generation was destined to live in post-history. It seemed that all the events had already happened and the rules were set.Empires had collapsed, independence had been gained, and wars were over.

With sadness, this is about all I will say about the destruction of the White House.

I need this thing to go faster.

7 million protesters, 0 arrests. Man we suck at terrorism.

Every Texan who attended a No Kings rally yesterday should contact Senator Cruz’s office and ask for his help in getting our Soros check.

You know Hallmark is already working on. Christmas show with this storyline. The small town manager of the struggling costume factory meets the husky, big city protester wearing a frog costume who has always dreamed of settling down in a small town.

Classic Texas day. First up were protests at the No Kings rally, then the lamb show at the Brazos County Fair.

No Kings protest in College Station, TX. Texas A&M showed up. Somewhere around two thousand people showed up. #NoKings.

College Station, TX showed up. #NoKings.

College Station, TX showed up. #NoKings

I am just going to leave this here. #NoKings

It was a glorious sky this morning as I was letting the sheep out into the fields. #SmallFarmLife

#NoKings rally on Saturday.

Be strong, be curious….be like Pluto.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

History has many painful lessons.

Jerry Jones, just so you know, I am out mowing my lawn until it gets too dark. If you are not serious about putting the best team out on the field, I don’t need to waste my time watching. @dallascowboys4life.bsky.social

Alexander Hamilton could not more accurately describe Trump and the danger to liberty of such a man.

Monday morning vibes at @tamu.bsky.social

I was looking at the 1942 Yearbook from @tamu.bsky.social. Look at the message from the Editor, months after we entered WWII. What was true then is true now. #Aggies core values.

College should be physically safe and intellectually dangerous.

Neither can he.

another day and another professor in Texas is fired. This time it is a historian from Texas State fired for comments he made at a conference. If you are a faculty member protect yourself. Join @texasaaup.bsky.social in Texas and @aaup.org nationwide www.president.txst.edu/communicatio...

Slow news day otherwise, but make sure to check out the cool NASA announcement about past life on Mars: www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/s...

The #GulfCoastNative herd of sheep were very excited to meet the new ram. We will keep them apart for a while until they get used to to each other (and watch for sickness). @gulfcoastsheep.bsky.social #smallfarmlife

"Repressive tactics inspired by contemporary autocrats .... depend on the squelching of all independent centers of thought, and that includes universities, law firms and scientists.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s...

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

The Ocean: “Pff… You humans, you think you can conquer all! You inhabit all the continents; send rockets into space; put a flag on the moon; climb the tallest mountains; and sail the widest seas… but you’ll never leave your mark at my deepest depths!” Humans: “Hold my beer”

So @mediaite.com put this 2024 interview with @anneapplebaum.bsky.social , author of "Autocracy, Inc" & staff writer for @theatlantic.com on youtube last week: youtu.be/pHDVpBLMiFI?... In it, she talks about contents of her piece from October 2024: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Socialism is an economic and political system centered on the idea of public or common ownership of the means of production, which are the resources and facilities used to create goods and services. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Bringing the fire. I really hate gerrymandering

He is 13+ years. His arthritis is bad enough, he can barely stand. He is taking enough ketamine to make Elon Musk blush which leads to incontinence. But he is going to guard his sheep to his dying breath. Love that dog. #smallfarmlife. #gooddog

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

Finally, a political opinion in Texas that I can support.

The room to testify against gerrymandering in Texas is full. This is how it looks outside. All these people want to testify but there isnt enough room/time. The people of Texas oppose gerrymandering.

Our Texas representatives should not be choosing their voters, we should be choosing our representatives. No to #redistricting. #Texas #SupportDemocracy. @texastribune.org www.texastribune.org/2025/07/30/t...

A powerful statement of integrity.

Good read on the origins of the research university. asteriskmag.com/issues/10/th...

"The "honest" graft of President Trump inevitably rewards incumbent companies at the expense of competitive ones, breeds inefficiencies, inspires corruption and misallocates resources." argues @jackshafer.bsky.social‬. Gift link: wapo.st/4nDLWLP

Redistricting is used so politicians can pick their voters, not the other way around. I urge Texans to not support the @GOP until they stop using this undemocratic power play.

Truly devastating. “if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%—from 95,700 undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs during this fiscal year to 21,400 in 2026.” www.science.org/content/arti...

This is so interesting given Texas' response to migration. Well said Lydia. @polgreen.bsky.social‬.

Absolutely infuriating. Three times since 2016 Kerr County ahs asked the Texas Dept. of Emergency Management (TDEM) for a $1 million flood alert program and were denied each time. Meanwhile, TDEM has spent hundreds of millions on "border security" boondoggle contracts under Op. Lone Star.

Here are four easy ways to receive severe weather warnings the moment they're issued. We are the first generations in human history to have the knowledge and technology to stay safe from destructive weather. Take advantage of it. www.damweather.com/2025/07/you-...
