Out today from me, at @TexasObserver: The creators of "Young Greg Abbott: A FuQusical" hope to take their show on the road, inspiring anger, laughter, and political change while undermining the governor's career through satire. "We want to be in his ear, as this very annoying little pesky punk show following him around."

How best to tell the story of Texas’s frustration with Gov. Greg Abbott? Through the medium of song. “Young Greg Abbott: A FuQusical” had its first two full performances on Oct. 18 in Austin. @oconnell reviewed the show for @TexasObserver. The team behind it now want to take it on the road. “We really don’t want him to have a national profile, and, if he thinks of having one, we want to be in his ear as this very annoying little pesky punk show following him around,” co-creator Brently Heilbron says.

New today: Those in charge don’t even bother to hide how little they care anymore. Hurricane Beryl was the sort of freak occurrence that is sadly now a common facet of life in the era of anthropogenic climate change, as was the shameless breakdown of leadership we saw. texasobserver.org/a-crisis-of-…

In Texas, a Crisis of Inaction Without Consequence
In the face of our leaders’ blatant disregard, short-lived outrage is not enough. It’s time for everyday Texans to take back their power.Colin Bogle (The Texas Observer)
