I looked at the calendar … and, yup, here we are again. It’s “Commies and Queers” week in Texas. Look over to your right. What had been merely putrid trash will now be amped up for the fifth grade schoolyard bully vote.
The joys of elevated conversation…
In another eight days we might get a short break from shithead politics.
But probably not. Especially if they lose.

Trump is throwing all of the anti-Muslim tropes at Abdul El-Sayed just like he did with Zohran Mamdani. As it turns out, Mamdani may be the most popular Mayor in the U.S. Even Trump likes him. Trump's a desperate liar & more of a threat to the U.S. than U.S. born El-Sayed.
To my fellow Texas voters:
Vote.
Every.
Republican.
Out.
It's time to start over.
Quite frankly, I don't want to see a one-party state. That's not a good idea. I would like to see two parties that take the job seriously.
But we've got to start somewhere.
Hope for the best. Expect the worst. Do what you can.
Election season just adds to what’s been an exceedingly noisy background.
No drama? No time soon.

Climate change killed 32,000+ people in Europe this summer.
Trump believes this crisis is a "hoax." Republicans in Congress are following their "Great Leader.”
NO to Trump’s fossil fuel agenda. YES to creating millions of jobs by moving our energy system away from fossil fuels.
If you've already been able to vote early, nice. If you've mailed in a ballot, cool. If you're still going to vote early, make sure you do; make sure you have a plan. Waiting until Election Day? Scope out your polling place. Have a plan in case lines are long or weather is bad...
To all the (presumably) other folks who are finding paying attention to what's going on in the world *really*, *really* painful -- how do you handle it? Keeping track of the utter vileness is just ... just ...

Via @AP: The Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to let it resume building a border wall project through the Big Bend region. The government filed an emergency appeal asking the justices to lift a lower court decision that halted construction. texastribune.org/2026/10/21/…
How about a new rule: If you want to build a "master-planned community" you must build a rail link that connects to the reason why the idea of building that community exists. Roads? Roads just ain't gonna do it.
