Texans need truth. Help us report it. Donate as little as $1 to become a member during our Fall Member Drive.

Resistance is NOT a one lane highway. Maybe your lane is protesting, Maybe your lane is organizing, Maybe your lane is art activism, Maybe your lane is surviving the day. Do NOT feel guilty for not occupying every lane. Do NOT shame other lanes for not occupying yours. We need all of them.

Nathalie Herpin and her family have doxxed by Moms for Liberty-Harris County for supposedly doxxing stud nets, which she did not. What she did was discourage two Stratford High teachers from starting a Turning Point USA student club. Call Ken Paxton’s office in support of Nathalie.

We have received many questions about whether it’s safe to sign up for No Kings protests while Trump ramps up his attacks on free speech.

Democratic New York lawmakers — as well as City Comptroller Brad Lander — were arrested by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers Thursday after demanding access to an alleged detention facility run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at 26 Federal Plaza.

The Smith family, which includes brothers David, Robert, Frederick, J. Duncan and a number of family trusts, was worth a combined $1.2 billion back in 2018. Total billionaire wealth increased by 88% between 2020 and 2024.

Jimmy Kimmel’s show was pulled from the air for criticizing the Trump administration and Republicans putting at risk an approval for a merger of to telecom companies which would require the FCC to raise the cap on how much of a market (local tv stations) a company can hold. 1/2

Today 31 Democrats chose to side with Donald Trump over DC. We did not ask for this. It will not make us safer. And fueling this fascist president's agenda is dangerous for our entire country. (🧵)

Houston’s sunny and warm, but not super hot weather continues this week. As we get closer to the weekend we may see slightly better rain chances, but don’t expect serious accumulations. Sadly, this is pretty normal for September. #houwx

AXIOS: Inflation ticks up to the highest since '21. Manufacturing shrank 6 months running. Unemployed workers exceeding jobs. If Biden had numbers like that, you'd be on Fox saying, 'What's going on'? LUTNICK: So, the economy that Trump owns starts at the end of this year A: Doesn't work that way!

“.. America’s trucking companies are battling one of the longest freight slowdowns executives can remember. “.. ‘When you start seeing those guys go out of business, that’s a barometer of the health of logistics in America.’” @crampell.bsky.social @wsj.com www.wsj.com/articles/cal...

If you Fight! We will, too! @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social @texasdemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org

BIG news: A new bipartisan bill just dropped that would ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks. It’s about time. Voters shouldn’t have to wonder if their leaders are profiting off the decisions they make.

Upheld even MORE Trump firings & DHS racist tactics... Saying he can do whatever he wants while the cases play out in the courts. Shadow Docket is giving Trump wins yet again Arguments of "Trump keeps losing in the courts" is just plain inaccurate & needs to be pushed back on by shitty moderates.

Texas is hot as balls. But cooling off with your balls out isn't always legal.

This is what Texas school librarians are facing starting this week. Let the state government know what you think about Moms For Liberty taking control of what books your child has access to.

City of Houston officials must protect democracy as aggressively as they protect property.

It’s corruption, plain and simple.

"Attorney General Ken Paxton Encourages Texas Schools to Begin Legal Process of Putting Prayer Back in the Classroom and Recommends the Lord’s Prayer for Students" No. I support the separation of church and state. Stop trying to indoctrinate my children, you asshole. #Texas #USA #politics

Meta is an unethical company run by Peter Thiel’s techno-fascist billionaire protégé—Mark Zuckerberg—and is part of the Trump regime’s surveillance state. It’s time to leave Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp—and while you’re at it, drop Amazon, Google, and OpenAI as well. Learn how in this thread:

Today's Houston Democracy Project Blog post says many Houstonians spoke at Council opposing HPD working with ICE. Houstonians spoke effectively. Council Democrats did not speak at all. That silence is a helpful reminder that the fight ahead is ours. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...
