Welp, the state of Texas is taking over my school district. That’s me asking questions about their plan for curriculum, books, and school libraries. TEA’s response is not great.

With the state power grab privatization motivated takeover of Fort Worth ISD in full swing, I revisited the episode of the 817 Pod w/ Ale Checka, and I did a supercut of the important things she had to say. Give it a watch. These are the people we should be listening to: Teachers

Thousands of No Kings protesters gathered around Houston and descended upon downtown Saturday as part of a national day of action against what organizers say is “authoritarian” leadership under President Donald Trump. Here's a look at the protests in downtown Houston, as captured by Houston Chronicle staff photographers. bit.ly/4hjqOaS

El viernes hablé en la Cámara de Diputados sobre los riesgos que veo en la iniciativa a la Ley de Amparo. Me enfoqué en las figuras de suspensión y recusación.
Aquí pueden escuchar la mesa que compartí junto con otros extraordinarios panelistas:

The student protesters were obviously correct on Gaza. The reaction to them was obviously idiotic and depraved. We're probably still a while out from this being banal conventional wisdom, but it's coming.

Yet again.
NYP: President Trump has decided to pull the United States out of UNESCO, citing the organization’s emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as what he views as a consistent pro-Palestinian and pro-China bias.
UNESCO is a United Nations agency focused on education, science, culture, and communication.

#PiezaDelDía ⛈️ Tláloc
Esta es una olla de cerámica modelada con un mascarón en alto relieve del rostro de Tláloc, deidad de la lluvia.
Los mexicas lo concebían conformado por dos serpientes que se entrelazaban en la nariz y juntaban frente a frente sus cabezas.

From Texas meteorologist @MattLanza:
“We have seen absolutely nothing to suggest that current staffing or budget issues within NOAA and the NWS played any role at all in this event. Anyone using this event to claim that is being dishonest.”
The latest on TS Chantal today, but more importantly, we take a deep dive into the causes and forecasts leading up to the horrific flooding tragedy in Texas. A lot to unpack today.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem often touts that ICE officers are arresting the “worst of the worst.” But more than half of those removed from the country since Jan. 20 do not have a criminal conviction. wapo.st/3TWkJWM

In Mass., ICE and other federal agents arrested more people in May than in any other month on record as part of President Trump’s immigration policy.
To understand the impact, the Globe spent seven days reporting from immigrant communities. bostonglobe.com/2025/07/02/m…
