GOOGLE DOES IT AGAIN, REMOVES MY PICTURE. MAYBE I'M TO CRITICAL OF TRUMP AND PUTIN.

 GOOGLE IS BACK AT IT. MAYBE I'M TO CRITICAL OF TRUMP AND PUTIN.

CONTROLLING THE MEDIA IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ESTABLISHING TOTALITARIAN 

GOVERNMENTS. WELL, THE GOP AND PUTIN CONTROL FOX AND FACEBOOK, I GUESS

IT WAS GOOGLES TURN. FASCISTS HATE WHAT THEY CAN'T CONTROL.

FATHERS DAY. BY ANY OTHER NAME...

Growing up, my Brother, my Sister, and I had 3 Men in our lives who became, in many ways, surrogate father figures.

- Weekly Meals together.

-  Holidays and Special Occasions.

-  Ballgames (Fenway), Movies (Drive- Ins and Indoor Theaters)

-  Beaches, Fishing, Parks etc.

The point? These Men were not related to us by blood, and only one by marriage.

Yet, even with families of their own, They were able to show us the kindness and attention

every child needs in a good male role model. (With their spouses total support)

So, in the Memories of:

- ANTHONY "PAPA" CONTI.

- UNCLE GEORGE SHAKAN.

-  RICHARD "DICK" GREGOIRE.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY. 

WE MISS YOU.

This post is dedicated to Men who understand that Love, Kindness, and Honor is 

not found in a Test Tube, or Paternity Test. That the True Measure of a Man is more 

than just reproduction.

TO ALL THE MEN, WHO TOOK THE TIME...AND EFFORT,

HAPPY FATHERS DAY.

DAVID.

Help those fighting on the ground to boot Texas Republicans. Boot Texas Republicans.

 David,

Too often in politics, there’s a belief that the only way to win is to buy expensive TV ads with nasty attacks on your opponent.

This belief is wrong. And if Texas is going to turn blue as we hope it does, the real work will be done by local organizers who fight on the ground every day.

That’s why today, on behalf of Boot Texas Republicans, we want to ask you to...support the following groups who are organizing Democrats in Texas every day.

Texas Freedom Network fights for religious freedom, individual liberties, and public education. They’ve been instrumental in defeating initiatives backed by the religious right in Texas, including private school vouchers and textbook censorship at the State Board of Education. Texas Organizing Project organizes Black and Latino communities in Dallas, Harris and Bexar counties with the goal of transforming Texas into a state where people of color have the power and representation they deserve. Jolt Action brings together Latinos from across Texas to win on the issues that matter. With almost 11 million Latinos in Texas, Jolt Action fights so they have the power to transform the state. Workers Defense Action Fund believes our democracy is stronger when regular people participate in civic activities year-round -- just during elections. They run community-driven policy and electoral campaigns and engage working people on the issues that impact their families. These organizations and others like them are doing important work on the ground to move Texas in a decidedly progressive direction. Thank you, Boot Texas Republicans DONATE »

Reflecting on Juneteenth. CHRIS HURST.

 

David,

As you may know, on Thursday, President Biden signed a bill establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States.

In April 1865, Confederate soldiers surrendered, but word didn’t reach enslaved people until June 19th, when Union soldiers brought news of freedom to Galveston, Texas.

Today, we recognize the meaning of this important day while also acknowledging the work that needs to be done. We are a long way from true racial justice, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure equal rights in housing, healthcare, employment, and education.

By reckoning with our painful past, we can begin to move this nation forward.

We hope this day serves as a call to action, and we’ll be right by your side in the road towards lasting change.

In Solidarity,

Team Chris Hurst
