When the culture war comes to San Marcos #schools, “It does not escape me that my colleagues have to have those conversations with an openly gay man next to them, and I think that’s incredibly important because we’re not talking about this in the abstract.” https://www.texasobserver.org/defending-the-most-vulnerable-in-san-marcos/
“The weight of that calculation is the same weight for every single survivor in the farm worker industry. They’re not thinking about the movement, but they’re thinking about: ‘Will my family be able to work next year?’ ‘Will I be abandoned in the field?’ ‘Will I be killed?’” https://www.texasobserver.org/dolores-huerta-fear-farmworkers-advocates/

Michael Rubin, a historian at the American Enterprise Institute who worked as a staff adviser on #Iran & #Iraq at the #Pentagon from 2002 to 2004, said #Trump is “the first president of any party in recent history that hasn’t self-constrained to live within rhetorical boundaries.” [what a nice way of saying #TrumpLies]
“So of course it creates a great deal of confusion,” he said.

From Candice Norwood of the @19thnews: About 26% of U.S. farmworkers are #women, and they face disproportionate risk of sexual harassment and assault in their workplaces. One 2010 survey found that 80% of respondents said they experienced some form of sexual harassment. https://www.texasobserver.org/dolores-huerta-fear-farmworkers-advocates/

“It’s showing that the government is willing to literally waste billions upon billions of dollars to make these useless walls … instead of taking that exact same money and making sure that everybody has housing or clean water and food and education.”

Has Amazon also imposed shipping surcharges? I don't buy from there, so I don't know.
I saw this news about the 8% USPS surcharge last night and wondered whether it is a further ploy to kill the USPS by making Amazon more competitive.
Amazon uses USPS and also delivers for them. Is the USPS charging the 8% to Amazon as well? Or, did Bezos get a special deal to undercut the USPS?
Out today: “I had one of my biggest supporters call me, compliment me on my bravery, and then immediately pivot to say, ‘It’s just so unfortunate that you’ll never get reelected. That was the first experience, right out of the gate, of folks’ perceptions of what it means to be queer or gay or #LGBTQ in Texas.” https://www.texasobserver.org/defending-the-most-vulnerable-in-san-marcos/
For @TexasObserver magazine, I interviewed Juan Miguel Arredondo, the first openly gay man on the San Marcos, #Texas school board, about how this small but surprisingly progressive small town is protecting their most vulnerable students from the culture wars and economic inequality. https://www.texasobserver.org/defending-the-most-vulnerable-in-san-marcos/
