From misleading headlines to the 5th Circuit Court issuing a stay allowing Texas to keep its buoy barrier in the Rio Grande River — the inhumane contraption dreamed up by someone who clearly doesn’t value non-white lives — was never going anywhere. The September 6 order from Judge ...

Last night I experienced another Barcelona music treat when I saw Hash Brown and the Blues All Stars play at the L’Hospitalet de Llobregat Festes de Primavera (spring festival). The all-age (but mostly older) crowd of people (and some dogs) bopped along to some authentic blues in a pretty litt...

There is a special place in the history of film for Paris, Texas, directed by Wim Wenders and written by L.M. Kit Carson. Not just for its layered storyline but for the beautiful cinematography and pointed fashion sense. Without saying a word, it leads you in the right direction for the 3-...

After conducting a high-tech survey of red-crowned parrots, Amazona viridigenalis, a team of scientists were surprised to discover that these parrots are actually thriving alongside human communities in southern Texas. Considering that this species is endangered in its native range in northeast...

“I hate abortions! That’s because my parents tried to abort me! That’s why there’s no information about my parents in the news. I aborted them 729 months in! “I found out about the abortion attempt after realizing I was born 9 months after my dad’s birthday! I ...

I read a story yesterday that made my heart sing, that thrilled me and filled me with positivity. A Christian church in the Dallas area has launched a resistance network to care for transgender teenagers the Texas government is persecuting. Those resistance leaders, who are ri...

As y'all might have heard, Texas Republicans voted to make all abortions illegal. Now, they are going after Planned Parenthood.  Karen Marie Shelton  just wrote a story called “Don’t Mess With Texas, They’re Blocking Reproductive Rights.” Keep reading...

How far are we going to let these depraved Republican Texans go in their crimes against Women before we take action. They are treating Women like Farm Animals in Texas. How can the Men in Texas allow Women to be abused like this without taking action. Sadly our Nation keeps allowing Republicans to g...

The Texas Supreme Court on Monday overruled a lower court’s decision allowing a pregnant woman to have an emergency abortion, dealing a severe blow to women’s rights. The Texas Supreme Court’s decision stunned advocates for women’s rights. The decision followed t...

Texas, despite heavily relying on incarceration as the punishment for crimes rather than rehabilitation programs, has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the US at 20.3% (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Partially this is because the recidivism rate does not include those who are sentenced t...

According to Texas Republicans, the overwhelming presence of guns isn’t the reason why the United States leads the developed world in gun deaths. Any and every possible explanation will be put forth by Republicans except acknowledging the smoking gun in the room responsible for over&...

I’m sure there’s a lot more, but at least they’ll be able to take away all women’s rights, shoot “illegal aliens” at the border, and drill, baby drill! Well, they’ll have to, since they’d have to have a treaty to get any oil and gas from the U.S., and ...

The movement relating to a protest against illegal immigration at the Texas southern border faces the issue of illegal immigration in the state as a significant event.

As the second-largest state in the United States, Texas shares a long and often porous border with Mexico. With a major influx of migrants seeking to enter the country, the issue of border security has become a burning topic, dividing opinions across the state. Some argue that Texas’s proxi...

It seems like every other day, there is some new drama brewing in the Lone Star State. And this time, it's all about a standoff with the feds in Eagle Pass that's igniting calls for secession and fears of violence. Yes, you heard that right – secession! Apparently, some Texans are so f...

The immigration catastrophe has been largely ignored by the media over the past 3 years, and I do not use the word catastrophe lightly. The numbers themselves are staggering, (over 6 million illegal immigrants in 3 years) but the true cost is in human suffering which is both devastating and being ut...
