    Not posting on this account for the remainder of the present constitutional crisis in America. The owner of this site benefits from the content produced by its users, and I do not feel comfortable in even the smallest way contributing to his evil plans.

    And, power at my house is G-O-N-E. TX can't keep the lights on 1.25 miles from the capitol. We're fast approaching failed state status.

    It was so much more chill back then. Even the street gangs were all trained musicians and dancers who would break into song at any moment.

    I don't know which is more infuriating: The bad-faith decision to charge this guy w/ capital murder, or the cowardice of the "good guys w/ guns" crowd who abandon all the "castle doctrine" stuff when it's a black man defending his home.

    #BREAKING: Marvin Guy is no longer facing the death penalty, for shooting a cop during a no-knock raid. He claims he didn’t know it was a cop—and had a right to defend himself from intruders. But he’s facing life w/o parole. So it’ll still be a fight. kdhnews.com/news/crime/kil…

    The income tax, of course, is *why* the rich pay more in CA. Reliance on regressive taxes like sales, and property taxes, which disproportionately extract revenue from the middle class, is why this is true, whether or not you personally understand it.

    And half an hour later, power back on. Could have been worse, I guess.

    To pay for his Operation Lone Star boondoggle, @GregAbbott_TX defunded both youth and adult prisons and bled hundreds of millions from mental health care. Now, adult prisons can't staff prison transports and youth prisons can't take new inmates. Chickens coming home to roost.

    Last week @TexasJJD announced it would no longer accept offenders sentenced to #TJJD by local juvenile courts due to lack of adequate staffing at the state agency. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #txlege

    Your highways are the main cause of pedestrian deaths in Austin. You guys are the last ppl who should be giving safety lectures at the same time you're pushing to expand I-35.

    Health update: On Friday I got my feeding tube removed, 6 months after radiation treatment ended. It took that long to return to solid foods fully. Down 95 lbs. None of my clothes fit. Eating still slow and difficult. But, knock wood, cancer so far appears to be gone. Onward.

    No one besides a cop would ever receive this sort of special treatment. The guy was doing 90 in a 35 (w/o lights or sirens) and killed somebody. If you or I did that, it'd be criminally negligent homicide. But the judge wouldn't even let the jury consider it.

    A judge granting a directed verdict, effectively acquitting a defendant, is a rare move. But it happened yesterday during a trial involving an ex-HPD officer charged with criminally negligent homicide. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
