I am always complaining about Dallas's complete lack of interest in preserving history. The Wyland Whale wall, completed in '99 in downtown Dallas, is being painted over for a FIFA ad. The ghouls who are destroying this city should be tarred and feathered.

A citizens group with some heavy-hitting lawyers is ready to sue the Mayor and City Council to stop the demolition of Dallas City Hall, an iconic building designed by I.M. Pei. www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

The electricity and water guzzling AI boom that is consuming Texas is almost entirely driven by the Texas GOP and encouraged by trump. We are going to destroy this state for what? A handful of jobs and a little tax revenue? www.texastribune.org/2026/05/07/t...

Trump has promised his staff he will “pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval” to allay fears of criminal charges for their illegal activities once he leaves office. States had better be ready with charges to circumvent his efforts. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Now we know why Melania held a press conference about having no involvement with Epstein. Amanda Ungaro, a Brazilian model, was picked up by ICE and deported b/c her ex-husband notified them she had an expired visa. She's salty. www.newsweek.com/who-is-amand...

In 1921, 10,000 aggrieved coal miners in West Virginia wanted more pay and attempted to unionize. The owners sent in 3000 armed goons and the law to put down the insurrection. The ensuing Battle of Blair Mountain killed dozens of Americans and only ceased when 30,000 US soldiers arrived.

The GOP decries how awful the cities are in our state. They claim they are crime-infested, homeless folks everywhere, crowded, and controlled by Democrats... But the map shows the conservative rural half of Texas is declining in population, and the cities are booming.

Texas has the most prisoners of any state, nearing 150K. -We rank #6 with our imprisonment rate at 452/100K. -We rank #8 in Black/ White incarceration rate at 3.5/1.

Those very red rural Texas counties have always voted to be left alone and have no services. They don't want hospitals, pharmacies, internet, or Democrats. www.texastribune.org/2026/03/26/r...

Layoffs are looming at @wapo, and Bezos is MIA. WaPo's subscriptions have dropped by almost a third since '21. I feel awful for the journalist there, but Bezo's embrace of MAGA has killed the paper. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Immigrant Cubans in Florida, whose US citizen counterparts overwhelmingly voted for DJT, are being deported back home in record numbers. That socialism they were afraid of with us Democrats ended up being benign compared to the American fascism served up by the GOP. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/u...

With the Governor of VA sworn in, Democrats now control 24 governorships in the US. That is up from 16 just a decade ago. The GOP wants you to believe Democrats are finished, but the numbers tell a very different story.
