This evening, Texas Assemblyman James Talarico (HD-50) @jamestalarico.bsky.social masterfully debated & debunked much of Rep. #BradBuckley (HD-54) arguments in favor of #Vouchers
Bravo Mr. Talarico!
I hope I’ll have the opportunity on Nov. 3, 2026 to cast my vote for you in a statewide election.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but to become a naturalized US citizen, an immigrant green card holder must ALREADY pass a high school level test on American history and civics.
Most native-born Americans would fail the test if they had to take it

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work.
If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings.
Fighting back isn’t an option.
It’s the only option.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Elon Musk Lackeys Have Taken Over the Office of Personnel Management
Sources tell WIRED that the OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin.

Hey folks! Look who's here! Monica Tranel ran against Ryan Zinke (Trump's interior secretary who had to resign for corruption) for a Montana House seat. Seems like she's looking toward the information sector-- help her out if you can. (She's really cool.)
Appreciate any insights into how to reach low information readers. Anyone working on combining written form with radio for news deserts like Montana? Would love to hear about efforts to build networks and reach people! @monicatranel.bsky.social
