quick question, why does Abbott wear lone ranger style shirts all the time? I didn't realize there was a gubernatorial uniform

I recognize that flavor of angry white upstanding citizen energy, and it makes my blood run cold. Impressed by Beto, who surely realized there was a very good chance he'd get his ass kicked or get shot by doing that.

CA Gov Newsom is saying that his TX-style civil enforcement of assault weapon crimes will definitely survive SCOTUS scrutiny, because they upheld the TX law and there's just no way this court could be that inconsistent and disingenuous

I mean, Newsom is an idiot, to be fair.

Robb Elementary teaches second through fourth grades and had 535 students in the 2020-21 school year, according to state data. About 90% of students are Hispanic and about 81% are economically disadvantaged, the data shows. Thursday was set to be the last day of school before the summer break.

Curt responses to Cruz's 'arm the teachers' remarks:
"Fuck you Ted Cruz you care about a fetus but you will let our children get slaughtered. Just get your ass to Cancun. You are useless," tweeted Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, in response to the "politicize it" remark.
Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota posted: "I'm a gun owner. Do not tell me our Founders conceived of this carnage when they wrote the Constitution.
"Do not tell me they would have tolerated this madness. Do not tell me that teachers must be armed. And do not tell me your AR-15 is worth more than another 14 children's lives," he wrote, before the death toll at Uvalde rose..

Texas Public Radio reporter on "All Things Considered" just now, saying Texas in ln last place (among states) in providing mental health care, "rural areas are especially bad."As for arming teachers, I know somebody who did background checks for a state education dept., can tell you about a lot of crazy teachers, esp. from Florida--they tend to move around, since there's a teacher shortage in a lot of states, background checkers apparently not always as picky as my friend.

weird how the good guys with guns didn't stop the shooting. almost as if it's years too late to stop a shooting if you wait until the shooter is on your doorstep.

I get the 'fog of war' angle, etc., but that video pretty much sinks the 'good guy with a gun' thing, at least in this case. If armed law enforcement agents are reluctant to rush in, why should the PE coach?
