@clmarohn I sent this picture in to the city, asking them to reduce lane width by 1 ft each (from 12ft to 11ft) so that they could expand the sidewalk on the bridge from 2.5ft to 4.5ft. Response "most strollers will fit, widening sidewalk is not feasible". AADT is 8000.
I decided 4 months ago to leave all social media, signed out everywhere, because it was just too time consuming and exhausting and I wanted to be focused on my kids not find myself distracted all the time. It worked, I'm so much happier. Give it a try. Signing off again 😁
@PaulCastroTX ... Most people in the US I have talked about nazi Germany with, have this almost cartoonist-unserious idea of what nazi Germany was like. Maybe too many bad Hollywood movies and stand-up comedy jokes have distracted from learning the actual lessons of the time.
@PaulCastroTX My great grandfather was one of the people who not only let it happen, but ended up becoming part of the process. Not because he was a nazi sympathizer, he just wanted to keep his job in the judiciary when Austria was annexed and so he went along with it...
ICE / CBP executed a man who was trying to help a woman in distress.
He was maced. He was assaulted. He was shot at about 14 times.
He never reached for his weapon.
He was a licensed CHL.
He was murdered by a federal agent.
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.
George Retas, U.S. Army Veteran and U.S. citizen detained by ICE for three days.
$1000 says no one gets a reprimand much less gets fired.
We are in an authoritarian state. Just because it isn’t happening to you or people who look like you doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
If he *actually* cared about waste and duplication then why is he making public works spend millions of taxpayer dollars to remove already built infrastructure?
The first @HoustonChron editorial board endorsement of the 2025 election: Houston needs someone on City Council willing to stand up to the mayor

Once again, the government taking stakes in private companies to expand its control is closer to textbook socialism than anything we saw during the Biden administration. Would be nice if more of the GOP’s socialism hawks would say so.
National conversation: The U.S. spends way more building transit than other nations and we need to figure out how to lower our costs and improve efficiency.
Houston conversation: The mayor is making the light rail stop at red lights and won't say why.

@houmayor "no administration has been more transparent than mine" strikes again. Excellent oped in the @HoustonChron. Gift Link below. https://t.co/rmBCybE6Qe
Once more an overgrown, unmaintained property finally receives a yellow notice from the city. OH WAIT: this lot is the @HouPublicWorks SW water treatment plant. The city of @HoustonTX is now issuing violation notices to itself. 😂😂😂 Can't wait to check if it is mowed by Oct 8.
If this is how ICE will treat your elected officials in a hospital while being videotaped, imagine the brutal force they are using elsewhere when no one is watching. This is a blatant attack on due process and constitutional rights.
Jackboot thugs.
We have entered an Anti-Constitutional police state.
You will be asked by your grandkids one day. What did you do? What side were you on?
These guys wouldn’t make the cut for any LEO. They’re Twitter warriors with Punisher tats and too many Yetis
