James Talarico is a former public school teacher and current seminary student
who has built a following among Democrats in Texas and beyond
for his sermons and floor exchanges challenging Christian nationalism.
Talarico will be an underdog heading into the general election.
The race will be a reach, even if he ends up facing Republican Attorney General Paxton
—who has been elected in a cloud of scandal three times before.
It will also be absurdly expensi…

If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.
"I haven't written for a few weeks now. As I write the closing chapter and begin rewriting previous sections, everything feels both more distant and more immediate. The working title [Kairos] has only continued to feel more and more resonant, both during the writing and during my pause."
Now is the time to resist by making something different, by creating a world fundamentally opposed to these systems of oppression.
This is the last in my Kairos series. From here on out I'll be editing to try and make it more of a book than a series of posts. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. All editing is welcome (typos, spell checks, questions and challenges). Between ADHD and dyslexia, it's always hard for my brain to notice mistakes in my own text so I always appreciate the support of those who can.

Pleased to live in a place where this is true (enough):
Eight states received “A” grades for LGBTQ safety based on their comprehensive pro-equality laws and low rates of hate crimes against LGBTQ people. **Only Rhode Island nabbed an A mark.**

I just found a post-it note from my wife at the breakfast table:
"I'm offline today."
On the sofa lies the first Discworld Witches novel "Equal Rites", with a bookmark a few pages in.
She wrote her first "I aten't dead" note without realizing it yet. 😍

Space Force guardians provided critical support during high-profile U.S. military operations in Iran and Venezuela
— experience that underscores the need for additional resources to prepare the service for future conflicts,
a senior official told DefenseScoop in an exclusive interview Friday.
Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Absolute Resolve were carried out by the joint force in June 2025 and January 2026, respectively.
Pentagon leadership have touted the rai…

Critics argue this strategy prioritizes
