@matthewjdowd We know all about Paul Revere but nothing about Sybil Ludington. Thanks for bringing her to our attention. I read that Fred Astaire's sister was a better dancer than he was. How many women have been lost?
It’s not fun to put down pets and animals It’s not a test of toughness. It’s mercy. Respect for life. Responsibility as an adult. There are animals that are dangerous and sometimes you have to do things. Bragging about it makes you small and empty. theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
@matthewjdowd Happy birthday Marilyn Nelson. 🎂
Kristi Noem is trash. Decades with hunting- and bird-dogs, and the number I've killed because they were chicken-sharp or had too much prey drive is ZERO. Puppies need slow exposure to birds, and bird-scent. She killed a puppy because she was lazy at training bird dogs, not…
happy bday poet Marilyn Nelson, b.1946, Cleveland, OH. "Losing yourself in love, you reach love's goal. Love makes you suffer, as love makes you whole. Love steals your everything and makes you rich. Love is both meaningless and poetry. Captured by love, by love you are set…
On this day in 1777 Sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington rode 40 miles all-night around Putnam county, NY, "alerting residents of approaching British troops during the American Revolution." She remained lost to history for centuries.
At least half these first six quarterbacks are very likely to be unsuccessful. Which 3 do you think will not succeed in NFL?
i have no patience or tolerance for those who are up in arms about campus peaceful protests, but who do and say nothing about gun deaths from the proliferation of arms. So absolutely absurd that the Governor here in Texas is cracking down on students but not guns.
DPS has pulled out all the stops to harass innocent college students, but wouldn’t lift a finger to help the victims in the Uvalde massacre. This state is broken.

This is akin to putting Tom Hagen from the Godfather in charge of investigating organized crime.

I’m at the UT campus today, so I walked down to the protests. Still distilling my feelings, but one of the most chilling things is seeing how many people are taking pleasure in young adults being arrested. If this is joyful to you, ask yourself why. Nothing about this is joyful.
@matthewjdowd Agree. In some cases, police are becoming tools of political actors who want to encourage violence.
i grew up with idea that police are supposed to deescalate situations. Today there are way too many incidents of police escalating situations. The protest in Austin yesterday is a perfect example of that. We need to completely reevaluate police training and recruitment.
I was shocked how police provoked violence in what was peaceful student protest. Police ran into crowd of students, pushed & arrested students. Violence was from police. @UTAustin @TxDPS @JCHartzell @SharonLWood @ALTERforATX @KUT

Matthew is so right about this. How do we become so complacent about gun deaths and up in arms over campus protests? 🤨⁉️
i have no patience or tolerance for those who are up in arms about campus peaceful protests, but who do and say nothing about gun deaths from the proliferation of arms. So absolutely absurd that the Governor here in Texas is cracking down on students but not guns.
@matthewjdowd So the reports of white people being the most discriminated against are a tad overblown?
For reflection...
Today white christian heterosexual males hold 80% of the positions of power across the fields of business, politics and media. For more than 200 years it was more than 95%. White christian heterosexual males represent less than 30% of the population.
DPS has pulled out all the stops to harass innocent college students, but wouldn’t lift a finger to help the victims in the Uvalde massacre. This state is broken.
This has gotten exponentially more violent and out of control since DPS began dispersing protestors. At least 5 arrested now. Watch:
@matthewjdowd And direction provided from the governor's office. Abbott hates Austin. He, Paxton, and Patrick always try to make Austin the example . . . of compliance. Want to limit single-use plastics? Want to keep guns off campus? Public transit? The triple turds interfere.
Someone is paying attention!
i grew up with idea that police are supposed to deescalate situations. Today there are way too many incidents of police escalating situations. The protest in Austin yesterday is a perfect example of that. We need to completely reevaluate police training and recruitment.
I’m at the UT campus today, so I walked down to the protests. Still distilling my feelings, but one of the most chilling things is seeing how many people are taking pleasure in young adults being arrested. If this is joyful to you, ask yourself why. Nothing about this is joyful.
@matthewjdowd Fish rots from the head. The governor needs to answer for this.
@EnnHanes @matthewjdowd Yeah cops are not generally the "peacekeeping" types. They want the job because they are authoritarians who crave power and control. Some even want legal protection for beating people up. Not all cops, obviously, but way too many of them. The peacekeepers are often forced out.
@matthewjdowd Agree. In some cases, police are becoming tools of political actors who want to encourage violence.
