can we please stop holding protests at city hall on a weekend or holiday? one of the reasons the immigration protest two months ago was so powerful was that it met houstonians where they are: on the freeway, at restaurants and in hermann park

DINO Mayor John Whitmire will take time to listen to Republican donors but not his own constituents, who he labels “paid activists” when they don’t agree with him. I don’t think a recall effort is the perfect solution but I do think it might remind him who he works for: recallhouston.org

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Every Dem should be doing this right now. What we’re experiencing now is that political capital is for. If you can’t burn your political capital when the opposition is trying to destroy everything that upholds a liberal democracy, what are you waiting for?

mayor whitmire and metro board chair brock (his appointee) quoted two days apart in the chronicle about the need for getting homeless people on to transit and keeping them off of it. so which is it @cityofhouston.bsky.social?

it’s not just about montrose boulevard. it’s about a community being denied its democratic representation. if he can do this to montrose, he can do it to your neighborhood.

If you care about building a safer and more beautiful corridor to Buffalo Bayou, tomorrow is your last chance to demand the Montrose TIRZ Board vote NO on the city’s dangerous redesign of the Montrose Blvd Improvement Project. 6:30p at the Havens Center or on Zoom montrosehtx.org/meeting/febr...

the irony of “gulf of america” is that in spanish “américa” refers to the continent, so if anything the new name is more inclusive.

moms in my normally apolitical neighborhood moms fb group are all commiserating about wanting more kids but being afraid of getting pregnant again in texas. these “pro-life” policies are not only hurting those already pregnant, they’re discouraging eager couples from even trying.

been thinking a lot about (clinging to) these words from @annagalland.bsky.social from her interview with @chrislhayes.bsky.social. yes things are bad and we should prepare for more bad things, but it would be foolish to assume we know where we’re heading.

I'm really excited to share some news about our @propublica.org @texastribune.org collaboration!! In the new year, we will be launching a new initiative to work with five newsrooms in the state to cover an issue of importance to Texans.

To create the future we envision for Texas, it’s going to take work in and outside the Capitol. I am so excited to announce the launch of something big tomorrow. Let’s get ready to organize, y’all.

my corner of montrose is getting both a new library and coffee shop in the weeks to come. throw in a shared use path on montrose blvd and the anti-car activists’ disgusting vision for the neighborhood will be complete 🥲
