Hey #Texas friends, voter turnout numbers for the runoffs are low. Election Day is May 26th. There are statewide and local candidates on the ballot. Here in Ft Bend there are MAGA Repubs running as Democrats- it is imperative that we vote the right candidates to be on the ballot in November!

Rob Base, best known for the classic hit It Takes Two, has died at 59. He died May 22, just four days after celebrating his 59th birthday, following a private battle with cancer. He was surrounded by family at the time of his death. #news #music

I wrote a little something about Cinco de Mayo: stylemagazine.com/news/2026/ma...

Whatever people may have joked about Spirit Airlines, thousands of employees woke up today w/o jobs. Rising jet fuel costs and declining demand for budget travel, driven by an economy where even low-cost flying is out of reach for many, have taken a serious toll. The Trump Admin caused this.

Former #Houston Council Member Gallegos makes a statement regarding the Hispanic/Latino male members of city council:

Mayor Whitmire just lost the Houston Police Officers’ Union endorsement after the vote to limit ICE coordination His support for the measure hurt his relationship with a longtime ally, and now the union says it won’t back him for a 2nd term, according to its president #Houston

Yes I'm in my pj's. No I don't care because Fort Bend County voters need to know that apparently there is a Republican running as a Democrat. #texas #ftbendcounty #fortbend

Okay, I know I’ve already talked and written about the water crisis in Texas, but I’ve recently started looking into zombie wells, which are abandoned wells with no active operator responsible for them and can leak methane, oil, or hydrogen sulfide. #texas

Hey #Houston friends! I’ve seen a few people asking about literary events featuring Black authors, so I wanted to share an upcoming one happening this Saturday at the Young Neighborhood Library: tinyurl.com/46dwcwm3

IAH/ Bush airport update for March 25th #houston

Heads up for those traveling out of IAH/ Bush Airport

So many women carry the secret of having been sexually assaulted. Today's news may be triggering, so my sincerest thoughts of peace and healing are with you today. You are a brave soul Dolores Huerta 💜 medium.com/@dolores_hue...

After watching that Sinners misic performance, I'm convinced Sinners would translate well onto Broadway. #Oscars

Ok, I started watching #Scarpetta. One episode down. Curtis's role reminds me of her character on The Bear.

The way the rodeo would have been canceled if I were the county judge 😭 Idc. I'm petty. The amount of petty I would petty if I had all that power. #houston

Just watched the most recent episode of #Shrinking. I'm sad again.

One Talarico supporter, whether a surrogate, paid by the campaign, or something else, - seems to have developed a strange parasocial fixation on my friend Erika. He posts about her almost daily across platforms, using her videos to promote Talarico and keep attacking Crockett.

Today is another opportunity to do good and be great

Austin,TX -My heart goes out to those who lost their lives, to everyone who was injured, and to the people who had to witness such a traumatic event. I’m also thinking of survivors of mass shootings who are forced to relive painful, triggering memories each time something like this happens in the US

DID YALL VOTE?

VP backing Crockett is so live.

New: Former Vice President Kamala Harris has recorded a robocall for U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett to turn out voters for the Dallas congresswoman in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

Kamala Harris just threw her weight behind Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Senate race 🔥

NEW: Minnesota's top federal judge is threatening to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt if they continue defying court orders in immigration cases. "One way or another, ICE will comply." www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

#BREAKING: California Attorney General Rob Bonta says the state's Department of Justice has opened an investigation into Paramount's offer for Warner Bros Discovery.

In Houston news, Councilman Edward Pollard has sent a formal request to the Mayor to have Mike Miles appear before city council in reference to the 12 HISD school closures.

Inbox: Jasmine Crockett has secured $13M+ in federal funding for North Texas to boost infrastructure, public safety, transit, and community projects in the 30th District—building on $10M+ delivered in 2024, including support for UNT Dallas College of Law and Fair Park.

Following ICE’s deadliest year in two decades, we do not need another massive ICE detention facility. ICE has caused enough harm to our communities. 
They have proven they cannot be trusted to operate detention facilities safely or transparently. Head to crockett.house.gov/media.

Morgan (Morga_tt on TikTok, MorganBeTalkin on IG) had her page snatched for “community violations” a bit ago. It seems to have happened immediately after she posted about a negative interaction with Talarico.

Houston City Council member Edward Pollard ended up hosting an impromptu public comment session after Houston Mayor John Whitmire declined to go back over the speakers list www.chron.com/politics/art...

I read that naturalization ceremonies in Austin have been paused for the foreseeable future. It is not surprising given that this is an election year, as the administration likely wants to avoid the possibility of newly naturalized citizens voting against them.

Texas Democrats Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar voted with the Republicans to increase ICE funding.

A former Uvalde school police officer has been found not guilty over his response to the Robb Elementary shooting. A jury acquitted Adrian Gonzales after seven hours of deliberations following a two-week trial examining whether he failed to act during the May 24, 2022, massacre

Since ERCOT is the main topic here in Texas - Ken Paxton has received hundreds of thousands from power companies and energy interests, including at least $272,615 from ERCOT members and trade groups. Former ERCOT board chair Paul Foster alone gave $35,000 to his campaigns.
