Texas education continues to decline, some say it's by design. Sounds far-fetched until you see the message atop your school library's database list: "Because of funding changes...some databases...will be expiring soon." On the chopping block -Science, Lit, Environment, Spanish lang journals #Resist

Holy shit! The Minnesota assassin was trained in missionary work at Christ for the Nations (Oak Cliff-Dallas). I worked with a guy over 20 years ago, super-religious & cringy as hell, who was a student there & always trying to "save" me. Journos should investigate CFNI and examine their curriculum.

I recently copped the new limited edition 7" pressing of Thee Lakesiders “Parachute” celebrating the 7 year anniversary of the release. It comes on clear green vinyl in a picture sleeve with original art by El Oms. These young Chicanos sparked a Souldie revival that has only grown. Es la pura onda!
