Longtime Austinite. Politics, Academia, Environment, Writing. Molly Ivins was our "Famous Texas Arthur," as she put it. I'm a "Not-So-Famous" Texas Arthur. But my AUSTIN BLUES: A NOVEL might change that! #WriteSky GaryKeithATX.com

Is it too much to think that maybe SCOTUS will realize that Rucho was a big mistake?

Some of us go "duh!!" and others repeat "hoax!!" And the dance goes on. Is it hot in here to you?

The "Horst Wessel effect" refers to a powerful propaganda technique used by the Nazis, led by Joseph Goebbels, to transform the unremarkable death of a party activist into a political myth. This strategy created a martyr figure to unify the movement and generate popular support.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is β€œallowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Congress? Why do we need a Congress? Why to empower the king, of course. Good boy! Now go erase all those silly laws that try to limit the king.

People from across the political spectrum need to join together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target it is. It’s never acceptable.

Grace...and a bit of bitterness (understandable by us 70-somethings,).
