Excerpt from The Myth of Red Texas: Cowboys, Populism, and Class War in the Radical South by @davidgriscom.bsky.social, available April 14 from OR Books. A multiracial coalition of poor farmers almost remade Texas politics — until elites unleashed an all‑out campaign of terror to stop them.

Just got back from overseas and @davidgriscom.bsky.social brilliant new book, The Myth of Red Texas, was here waiting for me. Congrats, David, can’t wait to read it!

Really appreciate brothers @davidgriscom.bsky.social & @mattlech.bsky.social having me on Left Reckoning for an important discussion about East Palestine & the reality that corporations & the government are turning working-class communities into toxic sacrifice zones www.youtube.com/live/KHuMwa8...

For further fine reading on the radical history of Texas, look no further than @davidgriscom.bsky.social book published by @orbooks.bsky.social.

Up today we've got now-repeat contributor Alex Birnel on @davidgriscom.bsky.social's new book about Texas left-populist history: www.texasobserver.org/mythbusting-...

In Texas populists came close to overcoming one party rule. How did those in power break it? This is the story of Grimes County, Texas where a white sheriff and his black deputies faced off against a mob from the White Man’s Union. An excerpt from my book - jacobin.com/2026/03/texa...

Seated, as the kids say, for this book, which I have not read but plan/hope to, by @davidgriscom.bsky.social pub’d by @orbooks.bsky.social. Looks great and v necessary.

appreciate this piece @captswing.bsky.social! In contrast with the stereotype of the ruggedly individualistic cowboy loner, Griscom offers us a statistically representative figure: the neighborly Texan determined to protect their community from rich land-grabbers, polluters & financial speculators

excellent discussion on democratic influencers with @mattlech.bsky.social @davidgriscom.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHtd...

The difference between social democracy and democratic socialism. From our conversation with Pelle Dragsted premiering on LR tonight! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_hK...

Excellent @davidgriscom.bsky.social on @majorityreport.bsky.social and talking his new book on Myth of Red #Texas pre-order www.amazon.com/Cutting-Fenc...

Oh hell yeah @davidgriscom.bsky.social on tonight's Left Reckoning is cutting down these people who try to misrepresent DSA online to score points on Elon's website or whatever. This is what I was talking about earlier. www.youtube.com/live/zrkdRe8...

Will Trump be able to rig Texas elections? Top Dems have fled the state to try and stop it- we spoke in person in an exclusive conversation to Rep Wu & Rep Rodríguez Ramos Denying Quorum in Texas to Save Democracy youtu.be/cc4_RADuv6g

The Texas Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the "Death Star Bill" - this bill became famous because it would be used to end workers' protections like water breaks. But it is much more sinister than that; it will effectively bar cities from passing any law opposed by the GOP

Jacob & Adam spoke with @davidgriscom.bsky.social and @kimkelly.bsky.social today ✊ --which side are you on?-- www.youtube.com/live/3qsMwX7... @tvlrfm.bsky.social

Got a full one - we are joined by @dwdavison.bsky.social & Dr. Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi to talk Trump & Israel's war with Iran. Plus, in the postgame Dan Patrick THC MELTDOWN + why the Zohran campaign gives @mattlech.bsky.social & me hope Live at 6 pm Central www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FSD...

The Zohran campaign has been inspiring & is a model for us all from now on. Zohran never backed off socialist principles, but did not engage in performative ultra-leftism or scolding. Socialism is about optimism that a better world is possible, it's nice to be reminded of that.

Hey friends! I'll be at this June event in NYC to announce my upcoming book. It explores the hidden history of Texas populism & socialism, fence-cutting cowboys, and how we can use those lessons today to beat the right. It's called "Cutting Fences." www.eventbrite.com/e/or-books-l...

“I have never looked upon socialism or upon social democracy as coming about suddenly as the result of a crisis. I look upon it as an educational endeavor, where people learn to work together, where they learn to think together.” - Emma Tenayuca legend of the Texan working class

While Lockheed Martin rakes in billions in taxpayer dollars—seeing $24 billion in profits between 2022 and 2024 — their latest offer would force most employees to work between 16 and 23 years to reach top rate and would start pay at just $15 per hour. youtube.com/shorts/-8r1Q...

You’d hope this might lead the 100% renewable fanatics to reconsider their opposition to clean and stable nuclear power, instead of lighting over €20 billion decommissioning nuclear power in Spain.

Very good interview with Alexander Avina from last night's Left Reckoning @davidgriscom.bsky.social @mattlech.bsky.social about how USAID has mostly been a soft power tool for US empire in the global south. Trump has no use for it as his imperialism is "mask off". www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOBq...
