Old lady, old east Austin, loves new ideas, progressive politics, young leaders, young energy and gardening. Because gardening is a good foundation for everything else. Dirt, bugs, tangled roots, rocks and annoying obstacles to any well laid plan. Life.

...they will have a tantrum, walk off the job, and take their complaints to state lawmakers. Who they believe (🙄) will grant them immunity from prosecution, safe harbor from administrative discipline, and a thick veil of secrecy to hide all this from the public. But they will keep the paycheck.

If you think we should not subject police to this system -- the justice system -- then police Chiefs need to do a much better job removing officers who are dangerous. Taylor should have been terminated long ago. But the police union opposed that too. They want NO penalty at all -- or ...

Why? Because Christopher Taylor, who killed two people -- one unarmed and the second holding a knife to his own throat during an attempted suicide -- was found guilty by a jury. The jury didn't buy the police union's self-defense case. The judge sentenced him to two years in prison.

Newly minted "Civic Leaders" will enter the workforce able to make the kinds of big mistakes on behalf of capital only possible if you have no idea what happened the last time and never listened to those who remember. Genocide. War. Poisoning the earth and ourselves. The trenches all over again. 😶

A deep dive into this period might do students a lot of good. But that is not Dan Patrick's goal for the School of Civic Leadership. He hopes not to expand minds, but to reign them in with weighty quotes from great thinkers, out of context and ordered to describe an America that has never existed.

100 years ago, a period that feels relevant to the now, thinkers were wrestling with a deep, despair over the reality of WWI trench warfare and what it said about humanity. And also the WWI "settlement" divided the world up into new countries, the effects of which still drive politics today.

Meanwhile folks in my age bracket have a median net worth of $364k, and saw real gains this year. Yesterday's high close likely added >$3k to that. A cohort that always votes was likely both poorer and richer on election day. No wonder the results are so confusing.
