Hearts of champions.
Reporting from The Guardian states USL headquarters sent a “strike FAQ” memo to players across the league this past Wednesday. The document appears to serve as a roadmap for breaking a potential strike and weakening the union.
I don't cover nearly the cases you do, but here are some other ones I've mentioned this year:
Loper v. Raimondo (Art II, powers of bureaucracy)
Hernandez v. Texas (Mexican-American civil rights)
SAISD v. Rodriguez
Various affirmative action cases (Bakke, Grutter, SFA v Harvard)
I’d give the edge to Paxton by concluding that the Hunt vote was a not-Cornyn vote that could be expressed through a less corrupt candidate.
Discarded Lou Reed lyric ideas.

Good catch! I was a junior in HS then, and that was the first non-presidential election I paid attention to.
I've always said, if you can get to 100 before the other team gets 60, you've got a good chance of winning an NBA game.
Primary election returns in the US Senate for Texas as of 8:40 CST showing the Democratic candidates with more total votes than the GOP candidates.
When was the last time a statewide primary race in TX had more Dem votes?
Hey...are we gonna win? If so, do you regret to inform us of this?
This Cam Payne campaign can pain.
This is rated Very Texas.
I'm hopeful! I think we're one piece away from being really robust up and down the rotation: the highly coveted "big wing who can shoot" (i.e. Anunoby, Aaron Gordon). They'd be almost impossible to beat.
I think the Spurs will slow cook with him like they did Duncan, go easy on him at points in his career as a preservative. It might depress his individual numbers a bit, but it will hopefully produce multiple titles in the process.
That does not make me feel better at all, but it was sweet of you for trying.
As you should be, only one of us has Wemby.
Ha, but so many people are moving here! They love the Cost of Living (housing that is cheap enough if you ignore that you have to drive to breathe around here). With no state income tax, you almost forget how your soul is crushed into a soft goo everyday.
School funding is heavily based on local property tax, some of which is funneled into the general fund, and some of that is ostensibly redistributed? But not really? IDK, it's all underpants gnomes to me at this point.
One day the Spurs will beat the Knicks like it's 1999. That day was not today. I'm still pleased as punch at the direction of the team, though. Coming into the season, I had them as a top 6 team in the west at best, now look at us. Contendahs.
I didn't want to forget this question, and the short answer is Texas just tolerates a high level of suckiness in government. Hard to quantify it, more of a deep-in-your-marrow feeling. (See: 2021 polar vortex)
That's extraordinarily high praise, thank you! I hope I'm worthy of it!
I did! God, maybe 10, 12 years ago? I was talking about the case and she was like "Oh yeah, that's my dad." I think she still teaches in the district, too. I'm pretty sure I saw her in the crowd at the debut of this documentary: knowyourneighbor.com/the-walkout/
It also comes up in this book which we read in the second half of the semester.

*rubs hands together fiendishly*
Buddy, I teach in the district where Rodriguez lived and sent his kids. You're goddamn right I teach it. (Specifically, in the context of the school walkouts that took place 5 years prior.)
I'm lucky, I guess, in that I teach TX Gov as a Dual Credit course to most of the same early college students I will have for US Gov, but my AP kids are a different track so they miss out on my really cool slides on why Texas had so many Constitutions (ie I get to riff a little on Reconstruction.)
That was likely the framework of the test I took in 2004 as a HS senior. When I started teaching AP it was already 2020 and it was... *gesturing with disgust* this shit.
If you want to know why I have such an antagonistic view of the AP US Gov test specifically, this strikes at the heart of it. It rewards dull, paint-by-numbers writing that never goes anywhere beyond a scenic bus tour of US politics.
This 100%, the test just wants you to have a one sentence summary to cite in an essay not think about the historical examples they cite, or the arguments they are responding to, or how philosophical sources they are drawing upon
My son is watching old Rugrats cartoons. There is no way they could make that show today, mostly because all the children would be mauled to death in the first episode during an adventure where they go outside and encounter their neighbor's Ford F-250.
Kinda seems like he should go to Bogota, rebrand as Bogotam Hanks.
