All I’m asking y’all to do is to look up Texas primary laws before you comment on what’s happening in Dallas, okay thanks.

At the victory party for Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler, who has unseated Rep. Carla Cunningham in a NC House race.
A huge victory for progressives in Charlotte and its Northern suburbs.

Mississippi Rs didn’t flip the House until 2011, astoundingly. But *because* of this, it’s rare to see a politician use this line of attack in primary races around here.

'Republican imposter': Hyde-Smith shares editorial calling out primary opponent When Sen.

Candidate attacks primary opponent for being a former Democrat, forgetting that *she* was a Democratic State Senator for over a decade.

It’s a violation of the Flag Code, actually. Federal law.

Especially in John, thereβ€˜s distinct generational trauma in the authorship, really lashing out against Jewish authority for marginalization despite the Empire being who killed Jesus.

In general, I’d say the heavy handed debates read like plenty of rhetorical arguments in the Talmud, though.

A painter wooded sign in the ground off Bayou Manchac Road that says β€œNO SPRAY NO MOW” with an alligator on it

A painter wooded sign in the ground off Bayou Manchac Road that says β€œNO SPRAY NO MOW” with an alligator on it

There’s a 10ish mile stretch of road that spans the parishes of Iberville and Ascension, it’s got decent enough pavement and little vehicle traffic, so it’s a haven for cyclists. In many ways, if you didn’t know you were in Louisiana, you could be anywhere. But…there are subtle reminders.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.
