The entire #Rockets team went to Jabari Smith's high school in Georgia to see his jersey retired. That's some adorable team chemistry. I am feeling really good about my Rockets this year.

This is a great post/point thus I won’t nitpick that purity rings were longer ago than that; but I will mention that 10 years ago, ironically, it was anti-human-trafficking.
In just a decade they went from purity rings to teen sex slave positivity. Trump is a transformational president.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Houston #NOKINGS. Bless this guy’s heart. He stood there alone, sweltering under his gear and guns, watching us in our joy and solidarity. Terrible life choices culminating in a solo fascist project.

No Kings protest in The Woodlands, Texas (north suburban Houston). This is the first such protest to occur in the community. I overheard a number of folks telling others that they had never attended such an event before but had gotten to the point of feeling they needed to do something.

Just advised my son who is applying to M.Ed programs: stay in Colorado and build a teaching career there. Don’t come back to Texas. Makes me kind of sad to tell him that.
