Raids of Latino political, civil rights leaders' homes set up voting rights battle in TX
  • As someone born in Texas it is disgusting how the attorney general of the state is able to disregard civil rights and abuse his office in pursuit of his political agenda.

    I waited years for the feds to stick something to him only to watch his cornies let him off the hook for all his crooked deeds in a show trial. That was the day I knew democracy and Justice were only fairytails in the "Lone Star State".

    Glad I'm leaving this shit hole finally.

    Paxton falsely claimed that immigrants were being given social security numbers at the border as part of the scheme, too. There’s no evidence of that, or that noncitizens cast ballots in any significant numbers.

  • HGTV Not Fucking Around With Show Called ‘Straight White Gentrifiers’
  • Gentrifiers reportedly proved so popular with test audiences that it has already been spun off into several new series, including Christian Fundamentalists Do Home Stuff On A Farm and One For The Black Viewers.

  • AIPAC
  • AIPAC was founded in 1954 by Isaiah L. Kenen, a lobbyist for the Israeli government, partly to counter negative international reactions to Israel's Qibya massacre of Palestinian villagers that year.

    Almost like there is a common theme here....

  • vehicle security system
  • Viper has a pretty good 2-way alarm (your key fob alerts you) and most of their models have relay contacts for fuel pump kill or start signal kill.

    I found a budget version made by Avital I've been using for several years.

  • 'It's inhumane.' Despite how hot it is, Tennessee renters don't have a right to air conditioning
  • I think we got lazy with our designs once centralized air was mainstreamed. The house my father grew up in the 1950s was designed like you mentioned. It would only allow light through during certain times of year/day with its overhanges and louvers and it jad more windows which allow more air flow....now according to him it was still a miserable place to live during the 1950s Texas summers....

  • Oncor Electric Delivery Charges $50?
  • I seem to remember having an Oncor delivery charge when I lived in the city. I'm on a municipal electric grid now so instead I have an ambiguous "Customer Charge" for $20. I also just discovered they add a "Round Up" charge to get it to the nearest dollar I'll be looking further into the legality of.

    Thanks for making me look at my electric bill closer.
