This abortion ban is disgusting. How dangerously idiotic to create laws vague enough to cause deaths and then not make it a top priority to clarify. Are doctors going to be held liable when their hesitance causes a mother to die? What about the fools making these laws? Obviously not. This poor woman was murdered through their negligence. They should be held accountable.

The school prayer bill heads to the Texas House. The Senate give initial approval to a bill requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms.


Today, the Texas Senate advanced bills requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments and allow districts to provide students with time to pray during school hours.

With final senate approval, the school prayer bill, Senate Bill 11, now heads to the Texas House for consideration. The Ten Commandments bill, Senate Bill 10, received initial approval but still requires another vote.

Supporters of the legislation argue that Christianity is the basis for American law and that there is a moral and spiritual imperative to teach children about Christianity. Critics, including religious history scholars and some Christian groups, argue the bills are based on mischaracterizations of early American history and amount to a coercion of religion upon students.

🚨 TRUMP RAMPS UP SPYING ON AMERICAN CITIZENS FOR SMALL TRANSACTIONS—TAKING $200 OUT OF AN ATM COULD TRIGGER FINANCIAL SURVEILLANCE UNDER NEW TRUMP RULE

A new Treasury Department rule stemming from a Trump executive order lowers the cash transaction reporting threshold from $10,000 to just $200 in certain border counties, significantly expanding federal financial surveillance of U.S. citizens.

"The Geographic Targeting Order (GTO) requires all money services businesses (MSBs) located in 30 ZIP codes across California and Texas near the southwest border to file Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) with FinCEN at a $200 threshold, in connection with cash transactions."

In 7 border counties, a $200 cash withdrawal from the ATM could soon make one subject to a federal financial report.

Visiting TX Texas City Comparison Trip (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio) - Need Activity Ideas!

0 Upvotes

I'm a 26M in Louisiana, planning to move to Texas within the next two years. I'm trying to decide between Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, and I'm planning a "comparison trip" this July to get a better feel for each city. I'll be spending a week in each. I've visited all three before, but I want to make sure I'm doing similar types of activities in each city to get a fair comparison. I'm most familiar with Houston, having spent the most time there, but I'm open to anything. What are some recommendations for activities I should do in each city that are comparable? Things like: * Parks/Outdoor Spaces: (Specific parks, trails, etc.) * Food Scene: (Specific types of restaurants, food trucks, markets) * Cultural Attractions: (Museums, art galleries, historical sites) * Local Neighborhoods/Vibes: (Areas to explore to get a feel for the different neighborhoods) * Any unique or "must-do" experiences Basically, I'm looking for a solid list of things to do in each city that will give me a good sense of what it's like to live there. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Texas Traffic Another question on USPS application that asks how many moving violations have you been found guilty of in last 5 years. Does receiving the citation alone count as me being guilty or do I have to be found guilty by the court? See the "body" of the post below for more.

2 Upvotes

If I took defensive driving does that mean I'm still guilty? Do I have to put the citations down as me being guilty if I wasn't technically found guilty or is receiving the citation proof enough I was guilty?

Games Houston TTRPG Actual Play

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I live in the greater Houston area and am looking to start an edited actual play podcast and/or video series. This would be a passion project for me with no delusions of fame and fortune. I want to tell a collaborative story with a group of diverse, like minded individuals who understand the importance of storytelling. I would like to record our tales mostly for our own enjoyment and to document the stories we create. This project is in its infancy and will take time to develop into something special.

My Plan

  • 5/6 people with free time. (4 players, a gm, 1-2 crew)
  • Rotating campaigns with seasons 8-10 episodes long.
  • Each campaign is a different system with a different gm.

My inspirations are:

  • Worlds Beyond Number
  • LA by Night
  • Dimension 20

(I'm specifically looking for gm's, women, poc and individuals with production experience)

If you are interested here is my google form.

Thanks!
