Texas agency defies history
A fruitful way to understand the fanatical efforts of America’s right wing is to realize that they want to turn back the clock and the calendar. Their efforts are clearest within the Texas Education Agency, where crazy scandals are epidemic.
Justice for immigrants is a united effort
As I left the theater after watching “The Visitor” I started thinking about all the things we have lost in the last eight years.
