This sh*t doesn’t happen in other rich countries that are actual democracies, where people just vote, all major parties refrain from lying about mass voter fraud & constant attempts at mass disenfranchisement, & everyone’s vote just gets cast & counted. We don’t have to live this way, either.
And they did it at the request of the Republican attorney general, who is on the ballot.
Republicans ended the ability to vote at any polling place in Dallas County TX in this election. Many voters went to the wrong location & couldn’t vote.
A lower court extended voting hours, but the all-GOP Texas Supreme Court intervening may disenfranchise voters & undermine confidence in elections
Honestly speed it up, so we can separate the slop mills from the places that slow down and let humans do real reporting and investigations again.
Say what??

Yup, this is a unnecessary barrier to access archival material. The applicant knows the most about their project and its significance.

Citizens in the 1850s & in the mid 2020s didn't (don't) like it when their neighbors are seized or killed by those enforcing federal detention policies. What a spot on comparison. Community matters.

You know who really ought to pay attention the result in TX Sen 9? Democratic leadership in Congress.
The most soothing ever. Sometimes I listen to a purring track to relax and fall asleep at night. This is a good one.
Thanks! I was misled by the phrase "red states, from Texas to Florida, are increasingly required." as if it was new. Anyhow, the article is on my list to read when I am done grading.
My university in Texas has been making syllabi public for, at least, over 20 years.

You can find a list in the Regents' agenda. There are a couple hundred more programs that received various kinds of exemptions (some of which require proof of growth over time to be saved). Starts on p. 23 of the PDF okhighered.org/wp-content/u...

Hello Southern Historical Association annual meeting from St. Pete's Beach! @thesouthernsha.bsky.social
you can convincingly portray this whole financialized AI edifice as a mortgage crisis-style house of cards without even mentioning that the fundamental product is unreliable, based on outright theft, and people don’t like it.

Really surprised to see the limitation on neurological disease to dementia and Parkinson's. No multiple sclerosis??
