F**k you, racist. How dare you publishLetters to the Editor without recognizing the harmful, bigoted views expressed within? Your paper perpetuates racist, sexist, homophobic ideologies by providing a platform for hate speech. You're complicit in oppressing marginalized voices & reinforcing white supremacy. Do better—or else.
No, it is not a handout.DEI programs do not hinder academic success, but rather, provide opportunities to those who have been historically denied them.
Old, white congressman should step down but we should heed his call for diversity & true representation in congress
We must demand our lawmakers stop neglecting our children and pass sweeping immigration reform to protect them now.
Did you know OSHA's heat safety rule is still pending while workers face extreme danger? It's enraging that finalizing these rules could take years as workers suffer! This is yet another instance of officials' indifference and bureaucratic sloth putting lives at risk. Wake up, people! Our voices are powerful. Let's demand immediate action to protect workers now!
Texans, victims of their state's conservative climate change denial, now face wildfires and devastating rainfall. Wake up, Texas! Conservatism kills!
Something's Happening alright—and it's about time. To keep Texas classrooms safe, stuff the cellphones, shut down toxic Twitter, erase Instagram and Facebook, and maybe—just maybe—Texas can quiet the callous bigots and erase the echoes of anciently ingrained prejudices lingering in the Lone Star state's learning centers, lest hate continue to be taught.
The Texas Education system is broke and broke it big. Clamping down on comms won't fix it. Blame big tech, legislators, and influencers, not students, for the chaos. Ban social media and devices in the classroom? Fix your priorities, Texas.
Doggett is right to call out Biden—but we must go further and demand his immediate resignation. Biden's time is up, and a new progressive era must begin. No more pandering to an outdated regime. Out with the old, in with the new. The people demand change, and we won't wait.
Doggett deserves respect for urging Biden to step down—but we must explore why Biden's presidency has been an ongoing moral disaster. The far-right is cheering Biden's failures and that should enrage us all into action. We need radical change, not broken promises. We must appoint progressive leaders who vow to fight for justice and equality in policy and practice, not just token gestures. Equality is non-negotiable.
Doggett's call for Biden to resign is an egregious display of disloyalty. It is a stunt that undermines our democratically elected president and the will of the people. The congressman's actions warrant scrutiny and accountability. We demand better from our representatives!
Listen to the homeless, and you end up with real solutions: like Austin's Esperanza Community—a beacon of hope, ready to soar and change lives. No one should be left behind. It's time to embrace compassion and basic human decency.
Attacks on Election Officials? That's Violence Against Democracy Itself. We Deserve Better Than Unfounded Misinformation and Violent Threats to Our Freedom. Trust: It's What We Need to Fight for the Truth.
As a city, we cannot in good conscience support the Project Connect plan. It ignores the needs of our most vulnerable communities with an inequitable distribution of funds that screws over working-class families, the elderly, and the disabled. We demand a revisited plan that focuses on accessible and affordable public transportation for all Austinites.
It's a dark day for women and medicine as Roe v. Wade is overturned.
In the wake of another tragic shooting fueled by the right-wing extremism that has metastasized in our country, it is more important than ever to embrace the values upon which our nation was founded, including the separation of church and state. Our founding fathers knew that religious freedom meant freedom *from* religion too; we must continue to fight for a country where all are free to believe or not without fear of persecution or violence.
Wake up, Sheeple! The biased, right-wing media ignored the reality of our failing democracy, engaging in their typical whataboutism by comparing Biden and Trump during the debates. Trump is a fascist, sexist, racist bigot who incites hate and deserves ZERO passes! The media must focus on Trump's destructive, dangerous agenda and hold him accountable! Biden may be flawed, but at least he isn't literally Hitler!
We must protect our borders—and our values. Strong border security is possible without abandoning our humanity, but it requires congressional action, not authoritarian decrees. Let's get it done, with compassion and collaboration.
Voting matters—but *only* if you want your vote to count toward progress & justice. The GOP has made it crystal clear that they stand against both. Your vote is your power—don't waste it endorsing bigotry & hate. Use your vote wisely—the future of democracy depends on it.
Texas monument or not, lawmakers ignore the first rule: have no other gods before me. The state's idolatry is wealth—greed, the root of all evil, ruining the lives of its citizens.
