Buttigieg in Texas: Many Texas Democrats, and a lot of independents, and quite a few of what I'm fond of calling the future former Republicans, are fed up with the carnival of chaos and corruption going on in Washington and in Austin, and are ready to make change in just a few weeks.
🚨 NEWS: Ken Paxton kept taking money from a longtime political ally accused by at least eight men of sexual abuse, even after the allegations became public.
The disturbing ties span more than a decade. Receipts below.
It's Labor Day.
A day born out of a working class uprising that helped shift working conditions.
Here's the story of how it began, and how it matters today:

@kendallscudder.bsky.social is keeping his post as Texas Democratic chair. Like I said about him previously, he’s energized this party and has helped bring in the best candidates we’ve had in years.
Now, it’s time we fight to take this state and country back in November.
Memorial Day is the closest thing we have in the US to a federal religious holiday. Its's a day of honor and respect for those who gave their lives in the ultimate service to this country..
The entire state of Louisiana voting against these racist white folks effectively trying to segregate the school system in Baton Rouge makes my heart happy.
We not dead in Louisiana. We are not a lost cause.

Forty years ago this morning, Chernobyl reactor number 4, not far from Kyiv, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union. The worst-ever release of radiation from a nuclear power plant and which affected hundreds of millions across Europe.
When the next 9/11 happens in the US, remember that you could’ve voted for a qualified and sensible female POTUS twice that would’ve steered us properly in both national and world affairs.1/3
Instead, you made excuses and wasted your vote because of something broken in your own psyche or misguided attempt at “political protest” due to your own damn fool pride.2/3
Texan here who's already voted for Talarico. I can honestly say that Jasmine Crockett is literally grasping for straws in this primary election, its actually a truly terrible look for a great jurist who decided that the playing the "all (race) are the same" card was a smart idea.
This is the Crockett ad that features the screenshot you're seeing that links Trump, Abbott, and Talarico.
Can't say I like it.
I got spoiled during the NYC mayoral primary when progressive Ds avoided attacking each other like this.
Feels bad!
US Citizen, Ruben Ray Martinez, was shot 3 times through the driver's side window & killed on South Padre Island in Texas by Homeland Security Investigators while celebrating his 23rd birthday on March 15th, 2025.
This DHS & #ICELawlessness must stop.
Remember his name: Ruben Ray Martinez

For my folks outside of TX:
DFW is at a literal standstill until at least Wednesday due to the weather. TXDOT/NTTA refuses to do anything save spray the roads(which washed off Friday) & if needed, spread the equivalent of kitty litter on the roads.
We deserve better, climate change is happening
Watching Greg Abbott giving a briefing on this upcoming storm here in TX, the main question I have is does he put snow chains on his tires or does someone else do it for him??
I’ll see myself out…
To give you an idea of how cold it will be for the next 7-10 days: When I opened this graphic earlier, my literal reaction was “holy crap that’s cold!”
I think that’s context enough for the blobs of pink and blue.
The lead up to fascism creates great art — punk and hip hop, coded horror movies, prophetic novels and thrilling plays. Fascism itself, once in power, only produces patriotic kitsch.
North Texans, keep an eye on your neighbors and friends. The 🧊 Black & Tans are in town, keep tabs on any collaborators you witness and make good trouble like John Lewis taught us..
A wise person said this to me recently:
Debating an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon: it knocks over the pieces, craps on the board, and struts around like it won anyway
Keep that in mind when you deal with MAGA, ICE, or any other adjacent/related mouthbreathers you come into contact with
A 1974 study from Purdue University asked 10th-12th graders their feelings about book bans and lo and behold, those who opposed censorship got better grades, read more, and had stronger vocabularies than their peers.
(Psst: it's the same today because this IS about intellectual access)
