Embracing the power of change...one small step at a time. All opinions are my own.

BREAKING: In an incredible moment, Congressman Jared Moskowitz just read into the record Republican statements slamming January 6th from Republicans who are now defending Trump. If this isn't cowardice, what is?

Props to JMU for losing by less than Tennessee and SMU did in last year's first round.

@ricemob @Chasejenkinss @tmcclelland @RDesRoches Disappointing to say the least.

[Nicole Auerbach @NicoleAuerbach]

I can’t believe the committee put the Chiefs in.

[Mark Berman @MarkBerman_]

Damn right! Weak-ass nonsense!

@kurt13warner @elijah13warner Good luck to @elijah13warner wherever he lands. Wish the situation would have been different on South Main, but enjoyed watching him lead the Owls just the same. Hope he maintains some connection with the @RiceFootball alumni as he moves on in his adventure.

@JonnyRoot_ The people don’t vote for the Heisman, and never have. Hunter is the Heisman winner, period, end of sentence.

[Joel Montfort @jmontforttx]

Texas has 870K construction jobs in our booming state. 500K are immigrants and 300K are undocumented. When trump rounds them up, TX's building economy will collapse like a house of cards.

@elonmusk Where is the community note correcting this one. Less than 50% voted for the future president.

[A.J. Delgado @AJDelgado13]

I realize you just became a Catholic, like, a minute ago but the "Deus Vult" is NOT a "Christian motto." It is a throwback to the rally call in 1096 and Urban II's speech that led to the First Crusade (I'm a medieval history nerd, you are not). It's never been widely used... 1/

It seems timely to repost one of my favourite tables:

@elonmusk 5% to the government and 95% to individual profit like all other Trump related fund raising initiatives? I can see it now.

[Mark Brindley @mkbrindley]

@elonmusk Seems most of the people live in the blue areas if you look at population density maps. Lots of wide open spaces with very few people under all that red.

[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

So…

A convicted felon is going to cut crime?

A rapist is going to protect women?

A pathological liar is going to stand for truth?

An unrepentant racist is going to unite the races?

A man who filed 3 bankruptcies is going to help businesses?

A man who incites riots is going to keep the peace?

Make it make sense.

It is a really jarring moment to be a historian. To know what might be coming is alarming. To realize that no one around you sees it or acknowledges it is a weird place to be in. Its like time traveling without time traveling. 1/8

Revelation 13:16-17.

[Critter @asclepiasyriaca]

Seniors voted to gut Social Security.

Men voted for their wives and daughters to die from miscarriages.

Immigrants voted for deportation raids.

Poor people voted for tax cuts for billionaires.

Women voted to have fewer rights than men.

Police voted for a convicted felon.

Texas OB-Gyns Release Letter After News of the Deaths of Josseli Barnica and Nevaeh Crain as a Result of Texas Abortion Ban

[Texas Monthly @TexasMonthly]

If Texas officials wanted to stop the arrival of undocumented immigrants, they could try to make it impossible for them to work here. But that would devastate the state’s economy.

So instead politicians engage in border theater. https://t.co/U8ErarNgbY

@PCreighton1 @RiceOwlsFB @RiceUniversity Absolutely dead on assessment. Will be interesting to see where things go from here. New President and AD seem to get the value of athletics, but only time will tell.
