@AllTrails I've used the app for years in the GC and noticed that it eventually used up more than 6gb of storage on my phone. Just moved the app to my new phone and it says it has 23Mb of data now. Did I lose logs or way points or any history?

FB worried, after removing covid origin posts, that it could "fuel conspiracy theories" that FB was removing posts. https://t.co/KrZSLViAHB

I come from a family of public school educators. I got a fine public school education in Abilene. I want our public schools to thrive and succeed. But this seems to me to be a fair summary of the way the public school political leadership and lobbyists frame this discussion.

A brief history of #txed in #txlege:

Phase 1:
"You're failing poor kids"
"Gimme more money and I'll deliver better results"
"OK, here's more money, but I'm gonna check your results"
"Sounds good"

Phase 2:
"You're still failing poor kids"
"Gimme more money and I'll deliver better results"
"I'll give you more money, but you have to do certain things that will help"
"Sounds good"

Phase 3:
"You're still failing poor kids"
"Gimme more money and I'll deliver better results"
"I'll give you more money, but you've got to stop doing certain things that hurt"
"Sounds good"

Phase 4:
"You're still failing poor kids"
"Gimme more money and I'll deliver better results"
"I'll give you more money, but you can only use the money for specific things like teacher pay raises"
"Sounds good"

Phase 5:
"You're still failing poor kids"
"Gimme more money and I'll deliver better results"
"I'll give you more money, but this time I'm also going to let some parents try something different, and let some of the money follow the kid, although you'll still get to keep the rest even though you won't have to provide them with an education"
"YOU WANT TO DESTROY PUBLIC EDUCATION AND ESTABLISH A THEOCRATIC DICTATORSHIP!!!
YOU WANT TO GIVE MONEY TO UNREGULATED PRIVATE SCHOOLS WHO PREY ON THE POOR!!!
YOU'RE TAKING MONEY FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!!
YOU DON'T RESPECT TEACHERS!!!
WE ARE GOING TO PRIMARY YOU!!!
YOU ARE EVIL INCARNATE!!!"

The Texas Constitution rightly frames public education in terms of liberty, saying "A general diffusion of knowledge being essential to the preservation of the liberties and rights of the people..."
In short: Educated Texans are more free because of it.
It's beautiful.

Congressman Gonzales has fought for his constituents since he was elected. The media can try and knock him down all they want, but his constituents know what he’s about.

Inbox: @TonyGonzales4TX seeks publicity for a project on San Antonio's West Side funded by the $1.2T infrastructure bill

Except he voted against the bill — and deleted the statement he made after voting against it

@TheTexanNews Love the shirt, but I already subscribe. Can I extend for a year and get it?

@Rwill627 Do you have a complete url for that sign up? It may be obvious but I can't find it at that site.

.@SenatorTimScott: It's not about the left, it's not about the right. It's about single-parent moms who were looking for a reason to be hopeful in 2018. This tax reform plan delivers for the average single mother a 70% tax cut...

@wesleydonehue Anthem is short. Fountainhead is great. It's possible to read Atlas Shrugged for the plot, which gets Objectivism pretty well explicated just through dialog. When John Galt goes on the radio, skip ahead.

Really astonishing how there's so much focus on need for gun control when existing gun control measures manifestly didn't stop LV killer.
