I care not about your tarriffs…

Feeling like a big dumbass working on my taxes right now. Who am I sending this money to

Texas bills requiring air-conditioned prisons languish despite temperatures being ruled unconstitutional The five bills that would require complete air conditioning in state prisons haven’t had a hearing yet, and the money set for the upgrades falls short of the estimated cost.

Oh man, somebody get him out of there. He’s crazy.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

a teensy tiny white chihuahua with brown spots over each of her ears sits curled into a tiny ball on a gray couch. she looks at the camera out of the corner of her eye, her snoot is pink and brown, and her front paws are tucked up close to her body. please offer her cuddles immediately.

This is Elly. She was wondering if that lap was taken, and if she could perhaps sit on it. Promises she won't take up too much space. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

After COVID, Texas is less prepared for the next pandemic Five years after Texas’ first COVID death, the state spends less on public health, vaccination rates have dropped and a distrust of authority has taken hold.

Texas spends less per person on public health now than it did before the pandemic. Fewer Texans are getting vaccinated. Officials have less power to respond to health crises.

What does that mean for the next pandemic?

The emboldened, rising tide of fascism in the US has me reflecting a lot about the importance of standing up for our marginalized communities in meaningful ways. There is power in unity - we must build our communities, support our neighbors, and stand together.

Texas leaders quiet amid the biggest measles outbreak in decades Declining vaccination rates, decreasing trust in government and a political unwillingness to endorse vaccines is shaping Texas’ measles response.

Neither Gov. Greg Abbott nor lawmakers from the hardest hit areas have addressed the measles outbreak publicly in press conferences, social media posts or public calls for people to consider getting vaccinated.

Republican senators threaten not to boost Texas public universities’ funding over DEI ban In a letter, Sens. Brandon Creighton and Paul Bettencourt said they found “numerous” violations of the law, but didn’t provide specifics.

New: Republican state senators are threatening not to increase state funding for public universities over accusations they have failed to fully comply with a law that required them shutter their diversity, equity and inclusion offices.

West Texas measles cases rise to 146 and the first case in Austin. Here is what you need to know. The number of measles cases in Gaines County has more than doubled in a week. Separate from the West Texas outbreak, Austin’s first measles case in 24 years reported Friday.

A case of measles was reported in Austin on Friday involving an unvaccinated infant who became infected while traveling overseas.

The baby's parents are vaccinated and local officials do not believe anyone else locally has been exposed.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

A black kid committed a school shooting and was radicalized by anti-Black and Nazi propaganda? Man. This country is in big fucking trouble.
