I’ll be on Egberto Willies' Politics Done Right tomorrow morning, 11/13, from 6-7 for the Houston Democracy Project weekly hour. We’ll talk about local stuff. You can listen on KPFT 90. 1 FM radio, stream from KPFT or on Egberto’s YouTube. @egbertowillies.com

The Houston Democracy Project Blog reports how the head of the Houston Police Officer’s Union had input for Houstonians & elected officials as well on how they should oppose ICE. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

This is direct conflict to what Whitmire claimed his homeless plan would do & what he told Council last week when so-called Civility Ordinance expanded. Council had already read with own eyes Chronicle reporting recently saying this. Now KUHF says also. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

The John Cornyn Houston Office Protest disclosed its funding today. We must be able to respond to events on our own. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Whitmire keeps thinking appeasing people who want to take our rights & kill us is going to end well. #Houston

I’d hoped all the electeds making sure they were pictured at the strike at the Hilton, would lead to aggressive push back to brutalization of Hispanic laboring class & others by ICE. So far that hope has largely been misplaced. Labor itself could also call on Whitmire to push back on ICE. #Houston

The citations are up no matter what horse hockey Whitmire says.

Local autonomous organizers are stepping up to oppose upcoming Abbott fundraiser. Next action when you organize it. Voting essential & having our own networks of power, protection & response essential. I’ve connected the 2 organizers putting together these events. www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Blog says Mayor Whitmire blames TSA workers for airport delays just as blamed cities for ICE/National Guard deployments. When habeas corpus suspended or ‘26 Harris County elections interfered with, Whitmire will blame Houstonians. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

The Supreme Court has ruled this afternoon that trans people can be denied a passport, if they don't use the gender they were listed at when born. This of kind of thing of trapping people in the country is a step toward the goal the right has of killing trans people.

I’ll be on Egberto Willies' Politics Done Right tomorrow morning, 11/6, from 6-7 for the Houston Democracy Project weekly hour. You can listen on KPFT 90. 1 FM radio, stream from KPFT or on Egberto’s YouTube. @egbertowillies.com

Houston Democracy Project Blog thanks Houston Police Officer’s Union for telling who they are. They don’t like Zohran Mamdani & is hard to imagine they think much of his voters. What if Houston politics moved in direction of NYC? How would they respond? #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Blog says join tomorrow’s, 11/4, John Cornyn Houston Office Protest! It’s essential for people to see others like themselves stand openly & confidently for freedom no matter the aggression & lawlessness of the right. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

John Cornyn Houston Office Protest, Week 456, tomorrow, 11/4, 5300 Memorial Dr., 11:30-1. (Don't park in any private lot.) ICE is in Houston & tramples on rights, Whitmire makes clear won't stand up to authoritarianism. We must show up no matter lawlessness & aggression of the right.

Houston Democracy Project Blog offers response to woman who brought negative note to last week’s Cornyn Houston Office Protest. If we must put up with authoritarian, white supremacists running America, she can handle 90 minutes of sometimes noisy protest. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

After you vote Tuesday weekly protest at John Cornyn’s office

Houston Democracy Project Grassroots Freedom Calendar, 10/31-11/11. Nobody coming to organize most of us. Next event when you organize it. This is part of work of Houston Democracy Project. Help me continue work with a contribution with link in comments. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

I offer autonomous & informed voice about local protest & politics. Independent voices needed. Please contribute to Project. www.paypal.com/donate?hoste...

Regarding the City of Houston purchase approved at Council today of the 419 Emancipation building for a new homeless super-hub: #Houston

Houston Democracy Project asking for contributions! I’ve worked hard, incurred expense & had impact. I’ve spoken across Harris County, bolstered weekly Cornyn Protest, focused on Hou. City Council & offered incisive commentary in fight for local democracy. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

John Cornyn Houston Office Protest, Week 455, tomorrow, 10/28, 5300 Memorial Dr., 11:30-1. Trump says opposition is violent radicalism, ICE tramples on rights & Whitmire makes clear he'll never stand up to authoritarianism. We must show up no matter lawlessness and aggression of the right. #Houston

Houston Democracy Project Blog highlighted work of attorney Brian Harrison & photographer Nora Dayton. Both stepped up without being asked to offer both leadership and needed support as we confront our authoritarian opponents. The challenge ahead is ours. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Blog says John Whitmire’s recent NY Times interview made clear again, there no level of aggression from Austin or Washington will cause the City of Houston to respond. We must organize ourselves for the challenging days ahead. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

I’ll be on Egberto Willies' Politics Done Right tomorrow, 10/23, from 6-7 for Houston Democracy Project weekly hour. You can listen on KPFT 90. 1 FM radio, streaming from KPFT website or Egberto’s YouTube. It’s important to support independent voices such as Egberto & myself. @egbertowillies.com

Houston is governed to tune of Abbott & Trump extortion and threats to essential funding if we don’t get rid of the crosswalk, but people protesting this need to be arrested? “Unity” for Whitmire is yielding to thugs & arresting good Houstonians. #Houston

John Cornyn Houston Office Protest, Week 454, tomorrow, 10/21, 5300 Memorial Dr., 11:30-1. Trump says opposition is violent radicalism & Whitmire makes clear he will never stand up to authoritarianism. We must show up no matter lawlessness and aggression of the right for everyone to see. #Houston

Here are the brief comments from the Houston Democracy Project at big No Kings protest in Downtown Houston this past Saturday. There were successful protests across the region. The next action is when you organize it. No community is on the periphery. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

The repeated No Kings are lessening dependence on elected officials & their networks (I know we must vote.), teaching people skills, connecting people in suburbs/small cities/rural areas & getting millions acquainted with being on street for future rapid response. Let's stay active and connected.

There were not many counter-protesters maybe because all the goons work for ICE now.

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

Houston Democracy Project Blog says Whitmire made clear at Council there is no provocation from Austin or DC that will cause City response. Because state/feds can cancel $ to city, ICE, attacks on elections, suspension of civil liberties go essentially unopposed. www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Blog says compile paper list of people you’d trust/want to exchange information with in a crisis. Be able to communicate with people outside social media platforms. Include friends & family. Nothing is certain in days ahead. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

I've been getting a sense from stuff I've heard that HPD and City of Houston getting concerned with costs of policing protest. Two suggestions are: 1. Send fewer police to protests. 2. Directly bill the police and fire unions who support candidates bringing about the authoritarianism. #Houston

John Cornyn Houston Office Protest, Week 453, tomorrow, 10/14, 5300 Memorial Dr., 11:30-1. Trump says opposition is violent radicalism & plans Insurrection Act. We must show up no matter lawlessness and aggression of the right. #Houston

There were about 35 people total at the rally today at the Pride Crosswalk that Whitmire & Abbott are painting over. Showing up is solidarity. A lot of showing up will be needed in the very challenging days ahead. #Houston

Houston Democracy Project watched Trump’s meeting/performance on so-called Antifa. I watched it so you did not have do. As stupid as it is, it is serious as well. Read Democracy Project Blog post to learn the disturbing details. The right is coming for our freedom. www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Blog says we are the leaders in difficult days ahead. There are many citizen-organized volunteer-led 10/18 No Kings protests across Houston-region, TX & nation. Take the lead yourself, be ready to accept risk & find your network. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Blog says low flying helicopters for Chicago apartment raid recall recent HPD/military joint exercises. With Hou. Council Dems silent on issues such as ICE & new state police deployment to Hou., there is no reason for our trust. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Blog says State of Texas & Ken Paxton are coming after people for who they are & what they believe. Let’s fully join the fight to help protect innocent people from being persecuted and terrorized. #Texas www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Blog says can use Dem. Party infrastructure as platform for our own organizing. While elections matter, is clear voting won’t be enough. Task ahead ours. Let’s take advantage of existing structure and networks & be innovative. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

John Cornyn Houston Office Protest, Week 452, tomorrow, 10/7, 5300 Memorial Dr., 11:30-1. Trump says all opposition is violent radicalism & today talked about using the Insurrection Act. We must show up for all to see no matter the lawlessness and aggression of the right. #Houston

Houston Democracy Project Blog reports on At-Large 4 Houston Council debate with Salinas, Boykins & Thomas held by Houston Progressive Caucus & Spring Branch Democrats. Discussion about ICE & HERO got my attention. Learn about the candidates! #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Blog says in debate on expansion of Civilty Ordinance, Whitmire said ticketing homeless was last resort. Instead, seems to be part of Plan A. This why can’t take Whitmire or city credible on involvement with ICE or why DPS here. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

The Generals are not Clapping I truly hope there is Sanity in this room

John Cornyn Houston Office Protest, Week 451, tomorrow, 9/30, 5300 Memorial Dr., 11:30-1. Trump convenes top military to focus on the "homeland" & the right steps up attacks on dissent. People must see others willing to step up no matter the aggression of the right. The stakes are clear. #Houston

Hou. Democracy Project says Sarah Roberts in Fort Bend Cty. leads way with lawsuit against County Judge George for violating 1st Amend. rights. George had Roberts removed from Comm. Court meeting for criticizing him. Rank & file leads opposition to right. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

John Cornyn Houston Office Protest, Week 450, tomorrow, 9/23, 5300 Memorial Dr., 11:30-1. We must show up no matter the aggression. Last week someone in car at traffic light said could kill us & showed gun in holster. They are coming for rights, representation & lives. Voting not enough. #Houston

Houston Democracy Project says Hale, Salinas & Thomas are viable options for Council At-Large 4. All are decent people navigating horrible political climate in good faith according to how they see the world. Pick approach you prefer & hold accountable. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

Houston Democracy Project Grassroots Freedom Calendar for 9/19-9/27. Focus on events across Houston-region outside traditional political & organizing groups. Nobody coming to organize most of us. Task ahead is ours. Next event is when you organize it. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...
