Newly released by the Heritage Foundation is a report that asserts that the promotion of competitive sports for girls and women “formed a core element of a broader project to remake female character itself — producing a new woman who would be more aggressive, assertive, dominant, and less deferential, less graceful, and less oriented toward motherhood and traditional feminine graces.” Reports like this show our progress in women’s rights is not set in stone. We must fight the battle every day.

Progressive Views: Hit the Brakes on Data Centers

Although a majority of Texans oppose construction of data centers in their communities, data centers, with Governor Abbott's full support, are taking advantage of Texas’ weak regulatory structure to vastly expand their plans. Call your reps to demand that data center construction ceases until more guidelines are put in place.

Progressive Views: Racism Returns with Out-of-Control Gerrymandering

Partisan and racial gerrymandering are major contributors to the current polarization in our nation. This polarization has led to a dysfunctional government dominated by extreme views. Moderate conservative and moderate progressive voters are often left out of the discussion, letting extreme views dominate.

Progressive Views: The Judiciary Is Saving Our Bacon

Our judicial system appears to be the only entity protecting us from a totalitarian regime bent on taking complete control of our nation. The huge number of losses in court by this administration is thanks to organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and closer to home, the Texas Freedom Network.

Progressive Views: Sowing Confusion, Trampling Rights  

Our political leaders have spent years trying to convince you that your vote doesn’t matter and that the election system is corrupt; they’ve enacted unnecessary steps to make it harder to vote. All so you’ll give up and not cast your ballot. There’s plenty you can do to fight these efforts.

Progressive Views: Too Many Billionaires Controlling Our Lives

CEOs are now being paid 280 times that of a typical worker. This happens because the system is rigged for the wealthy. The richest 1% of our population own 34% of the nation’s wealth--more than 10 times that of the bottom 50%. The top 100 richest families gave $2.6 billion to federal elections in 2024. There are numerous things we can do to address the issues, such as enact laws that make all political contributions public with full disclosure of the donors and antitrust laws.
