To be scrupulously fair, Ken Paxton merely *OFFERED* a one-day sentence as a plea deal. The offender, Adam Hoffman, who acknowledged his guilt. He DID end up serving 60 days, but only because a judge ordered it. Paxton WANTED him to serve a single day. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Inside Ken Paxton’s plea deal for a child sex abuse case

Critics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.

Fascism depends on silence, fear, obedience, and the belief that resistance is pointless. Resist anyway. Speak when silence is demanded. Organize when isolation is encouraged. Defend the rights they tell you are expendable. Democracy survives when people refuse to surrender it. #Vote 🌊

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Our schools should be palaces and teachers paid many orders of magnitude above their current salaries. This teacher is an example of the enthusiasm that can be generated in public schools! This is where we should invest our tax dollars-not the war that Trump is waging on us all!

Our hard earned tax payer $ goes to corrupt Trump/GOP, friends, family, & billionaires! They give NOTHING of value to the American people, not even a working reflecting pool! All they give us is high costs, inflation, Iran war, trade wars, jobs being wiped out by AI & data centers! Vote them out!!!

FAFO- affects us all. Thanks MAGATS. If you have a conscience or a soul, I would hope you can come to terms with the evil that is being perpetrated. There is little to no rule of law and there are concentration/death camps in the US. Get your heads out of your own behinds.

My Uncle Jim sat me down and gave me a stern lecture about how to protect myself at college. How never to accept a drink or leave a drink unattended. How to always go out with a group of friends who looked out for each other. That was over 41 years ago. Nothing changes for women/ girls.

I was a rape crisis counselor for many years. The Cornell story is not just Cornell. It’s all colleges and universities. And it reminds me why I am so relieved that my own daughter is done with college.
