I've been deep-diving on MCOs for the past few years (not in Texas) and the amount of profit-expanding austerity that goes down at the expense of human welfare is real hosed up.

Got clued into HB 3557 after seeing this enlightening documentary about a West Texas pipeline protest over the weekend. The bill makes civil disobedience in relation to oil/gas development a felony. I for one am opposed to this anti-Monkey-Wrench-Gang legislation.

Albuquerque did the same thing last month. Some folks got shot by state cops, misdemeanor arrests went up, and none of it made downtown less dangerous.

"Mental health screening" never seems to make its way to "more healthcare access." We'll just keep expecting parents and guardians of folks with psychotic tendencies to be the last line of defense against a killing spree.

I grew up in Albuquerque, NM and have lived in Austin for close to 7 years now. I'm not sure I'll ever feel like anything other than a New Mexican outsider. Texas seems to have spent a lot of time trying to steal New Mexico's resources or claim its territory, but at least I can always remember with pride that we kicked their asses at the Battle of Glorieta Pass.

Arcella posted:What's the argument for Latinx when Hispanic is already gender-neutral? Hispanic has been its own can of worms forever because there's an argument about whether Spanish heritage should be dignified as such since that heritage is rooted in the brutal enslavement of indigenous peoples. This is very, very far from a ubiquitous opinion, and anecdotally I've talked to some folks whose families are from Cuba or Mexico who think of Spain sort of as the motherland Kull the Conqueror fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Mar 10, 2020 |

According to some circles Texas chili is a beanless affair with big honking chunks of beef. It’s good, but I hate to get militant about how folks approach something that everyone should be able to cook

LanceHunter posted:One of my working theories on "Austin's Problem" is that the city grew up with absolutely no sense of noblesse oblige. There's plenty of truth to this post but from what I've seen, I think the real issue is that the city never really reconciled its segregated past, bestowing on itself the title of liberal bastion without having the real renaissance.

A Gordian knot is a complicated problem with a simple solution.

Feel free to quote me in the years to come if Texas is still a corrupt one-party state led by morons, but this is a seismic debacle. The state government has completely failed to keep people safe and I can't see how Republicans stay in power the way that they have before.

Let me put it this way: Once everyone's parents and grandparents are dying, is there really any political rhetoric capable of explaining that away for folks? Maybe I'm idealistic to a fault, but I think there's a chance that could wake a lot of people up.
