San Antonio’s Frost Bank Arena is ranked dead last in the NBA for Transit Score. San Antonio is also the largest city in the nation without passenger rail outside of Amtrak. This is a very disappointing aspect of San Antonio. #SanAntonio #PublicTransportation #FrostBankCenter #PassengerRail #NBA #Spurs https://www.axios.com/2023/11/06/golden-state-warriors-nba-transit-score

@thehill How American would it be if huge lawsuits/compensation for victims of gun violence is finally what causes a political change in gun laws? Maybe an actual, accountable dollar-figure for damages could help Americans understand the cost of doing nothing…particularly if it cost the tax payer.
How does a Governor (Abbott of TX) get away with threatening members of their own party with campaigns to replace them if they don’t vote for his plan to slowly kill public schools and subsidize private/religious schools? Republicans could end their imprisonment by replacing HIM. #NoESA #NoVouchers #PublicEducation #GovAbbott #TexasPolitics
The members of the so-called House Freedom Caucus are willing to take down the entire Republican Party, because without Trump and their deranged base, they can’t win re-election and are also subject to accountability for their criminality. It’s that simple. #HouseFreedomCaucus #RepublicanHouse #HouseDisfunction
When Russia tried to shutter the Ukrainian electric grid or natural gas network, the US screamed it wasn’t humanitarian and per the rules of war, but doesn’t condemn Israel for turning off the electrical grid and water system in Gaza. Water is literally essential for life. A humanitarian corridor is basically justification of this war crime.
@Ttown 100% agree…legal discrimination through the guise of religious autonomy and churches can be in the business of happily accepting public tax money to help fund their political interference.
And those of you that believe in small government, can rest assured your taxes will never go down even if we eliminate the cost of education…it will not happen.
Like everything in this country, we sell it out. Vouchers will most certainly exacerbate a class system in education. Privatization of schools will allow for the manipulation of the system itself through legal separation of socioeconomic classes and thus the education attainment and prestige of education.
Education has a significant cost, but may be the most important money we invest in our country.
