I could’ve sworn there used to be a basic rule in politics: if you’re flying into somebody else’s city, somebody else’s state, to do “the work,” you start by listening to the people who’ve actually been on the ground doing it. Not talking over them. Listening. Gaining context.

“It’s pretty clear who’s concerned with public safety here and it isn’t a governor who threatens to withhold funding for it. [Greg Abbott’s] office sent a letter saying it would withhold unspecified public safety dollars, which […] could include the police…” www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/edit...

If the city of Houston had its own Project 2028, what’s the one thing you’re putting on that list that is a non-negotiable? Not the “it would be nice if...” I’m talking about the thing you’d stand ten toes down on getting done—no compromise, no delays, no excuses.

“Mayor John Whitmire has yet to publicly present a plan for how he will address the city’s budget deficit… Whitmire is scheduled to present the budget for the 2027 fiscal year on May 5… The new fiscal year begins July 1.” www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/hou...

The Daily Mail is reporting that after a late night blowout inside the White House—where she was reportedly begging and pleading to keep her job—Donald Trump has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi.

“‘His history managing large-scale projects and doing the on-the-ground work organizing his own neighbors matters,’ says local political commentator and friend Shea Jordan Smith. ‘He understands both how the city functions and who it’s supposed to work for…’” www.houstoniamag.com/news-and-cit...

Houston, we didn’t get “invaded” for spring break—we got discovered. For weeks, it’s been traffic, packed brunch spots, clubs spilling into the streets… and yes, a little chaos. But “that kind of cultural momentum doesn’t happen by accident.” www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...

I need to hear Texas Southern University’s Ocean of Soul marching band play Don Toliver’s “Body”

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people…” — Galatians 6:9-10 NIV

Back in that mode. Just know, my time is coming… And the revolution will be live-streamed.

Some days you’re motivated. Some days you’re exhausted. But giving up still isn’t an option. Not this time. Not after everything it took to get here. All the growth. All the healing. All the progress moving you forward. Keep going.

What I love most about this Houston Spring Break discourse is that everyone seems to be aligned with the notion that Sylvester Turner would not have allowed any of this to happen… I know it has to be eating John Whitmire up.

Someone should tell Deidra Fontaine that Lina Hidalgo needs to come out in the swangas tomorrow with Shaboozey and Beyoncé.

Surviving Spring Break: Houston has become my new favorite show… Mainly because we told y’all not to bring y’all asses down here.

Le’Andria Johnson singing in this see through blouse at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s homegoing makes… sense.

EVANGELIST BIG SISTER GENERAL KAMALA HARRIS

William Jefferson Clinton never takes anything seriously. Talking about making “lists” and his impeachment hearing. A VERY UNSERIOUS MAN.

Barack Obama never lost it. That man is an orator.

Former NBA star Isiah Thomas recognizes the five presidents in attendance at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s homegoing service. President Kamala Harris. President Hillary Clinton. President Bill Clinton. President Joe Biden. President Barack Obama.

First, it was “Jasmine Crockett isn’t electable.” Now, suddenly everybody’s a strategist, mapping out which office she should run for next: • Ted Cruz’s seat, which isn’t up until 2030. • Running against Greg Abbott for governor… which is literally already on the ballot.

Miss you, Sylvester Turner. We could really use some of your advice and wisdom right now, because the ones you left us with are really making a mess of things…

Respectfully, the 18th Congressional District has had two representatives die in the last 24 months and went nearly a year without representation. People are tired. Congressman Al Green is pushing 80, while he’s championed important causes over nearly two decades in office…

Alright everyone, y’all can go back to focusing on your own state now… y’all have pillaged and opined on what we do down here in Texas ENOUGH.

One of my followers on 🧵 was commenting on the slate of propositions that the Democrats and the Republicans are gauging interest on as they look towards the next session of the Texas Legislature… The 90th Session of the Texas Legislature is about to be the damn fool 🙄 #txlege

Election Day isn’t the first day to vote—it’s your last chance! Millions of Texans have already made their voices heard by voting in the Texas Primary. Polls across the state are open now until 7 PM. As long as you’re in line by the cutoff time you can cast your ballot. 🗳️

Election Day is here, y’all!!! Polls are open until 7PM tonight. Vote anywhere across both Harris and Fort Bend Counties. To find a poll near you, visit harrisvotes.com or fortbendvotes.org 🗳️

The NAACP has now had to step in and address the racist online attacks aimed at Jasmine Crockett and Black women activists and content creators… attacks coming from supporters or paid surrogates of James Talarico.

Committing war crimes to distract from the trafficking and sex crimes to distract from the grifting and financial crimes to distract from the election interference and fraud to distract from the…

How many times in our lifetime has a Republican president taken office, crashed the economy, and started an unnecessary war in the Middle East? At some point, it stops being just a coincidence and starts being a pattern.

Me… every day since December 8th, 2025:

WHY ARE WE BOMBING IRAN?!?!

Houston, we need to talk about what’s happening to our housing market. A new Kinder Institute report shows large institutional investors are buying up single family homes in west and north Harris County—especially in communities like Spring and Atascocita. kinder.rice.edu/urbanedge/ar...

Jasmine Crockett doesn’t play respectability politics—and that’s what makes y’all uncomfortable. When certain “liberals” call her polarizing, what they’re really saying is she’s too bold, too sharp, too unapologetic, too unbothered by white comfort. Just say that. Stand on it.

Kid Fury and Crissle talking about @houstonrodeo.bsky.social on this week’s episode of The Read is sending me 😭

“Don’t open your mouth… without doing your research.” — National Association of Black Journalists-Los Angeles President, @sharsaysso.bsky.social

Real question for my fellow Texans: are y’all exhausted yet by out of state voices constantly lecturing us about our own politics? Between that and the constant “just move” comments, it’s gotten old fast. Every election cycle it’s the same…

If people can accuse us of supporting a candidate just because they’re Black, wouldn’t that mean they’re supporting one solely because…

I feel like, as a community, we’re not discussing how handsome Phil Lewis is…

Stunts and shows. Congressmen Al Green and Troy Nehls getting into it not even ten minutes into the State of Union as Green is being escorted actually WAS on my bingo card.

“Texas Representative [Jasmine] Crockett was quick to acknowledge the fact that she was never a big advocate of doing things the traditional way. She was true to her words, taking her political views to the nightlife of Houston, Texas…” www.inquisitr.com/jasmine-croc...

Skipping the primary is like letting someone else choose your meal at a restaurant and then complaining you don’t like what’s being served to you.

I’m sure #TeamUSA would’ve invited Kash Patel into the locker room either way… you know, since they’re just his homies like that. Completely unrelated to the whole being FBI Director thing.

Rep. Manuel previously endorsed his colleague State Rep James Talarico at the onset of his campaign, but has since gone on the record to question his #TXlege history and call out the dogwhistles coming from Talarico supporters online.

Running on local tv today through Election Day in Southeast Texas, State Representative Christian Manuel (HD-22) encourages his constituents to go out and vote for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (@jasmineforus.bsky.social) in the March Democratic Primary.

Went to the Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas’ “versus.” luncheon this afternoon, celebrating 90 years of trusted healthcare, education, and advocacy in Houston (thank you to Amber Mostyn for having me)… Why was y’all’s Congressman down front… waving that cane around?

HAPPY LIBERATION DAY!!! (aka the day Donald Trump’s dumbass tariffs finally met the Constitution) The Supreme Court just reminded everybody of something we learned in middle school civics 101: the President is not above the law.

Every Republican campaign television ad in Texas right now sounds the same: “Vote for me. I’m Trump’s most loyal sub bottom…” That’s… their entire platform. No policy, no plan. Just waving around an endorsement from someone with 91 felony indictments.

Rev. Jesse Jackson passing is one of those moments that makes you pause. Another giant has gone home. A freedom fighter who carried the movement from the streets to the ballot box. A bridge between protest and policy, hope and power.

LMAOOOOOO not Alexandra De Moral Mealer got a charity endorsement because the GOP is afraid that they’re going to end up losing a district they gerrymandered to get 😭

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. The Lord works out everything to its proper end—even the wicked for a day of disaster. The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.” Proverbs 16:3-5 NIV
