One of the largest Socialist parties in the USA was in Texas. Cowboys cutting fences and fighting private property, abolitionists taking a stand against the confederacy, populists taking on the rich, there’s a lot about Texas the world doesn’t know.

New from @GaigeDavila: After voters spurned ICE’s overreach, it’s likely Gina Hinojosa will significantly shift immigration, but she will face some limitations and decisions about how much of Abbott’s expansive executive approach to emulate. https://t.co/uqndVizkV4

Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation:

[Gus Bova 🗒️ @gusbova]

Texas’ oil and gas commission to reinstate public comment after suspending it a few months ago — @carlosnogueras_ @TexasTribune https://t.co/U8iR81h51R

[Justin Miller @by_jmiller]

I looked at Abbott's legacy of aggressive power grabs--coupled with longevity and legislative deference--that made him arguably the most powerful Texas governor...and what Hinojosa will and won't be able to do in his wake. https://t.co/obWM0vmnI2

The Return of Texas Populism is a huge opportunity for us. We need to take it

In @thenation in print and online today with my coauthors asking: "How many self-described socialists really believe in a socialism after capitalism anymore?" https://t.co/XxuyQqLMCz

In retrospect, it might've been a mistake to make this think tank dependent on appropriations for the Lege...

Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Dems, says he won’t be supporting Schumer for leader.

Even if he runs unopposed? asked @lindsemcpherson.

“He’s not going to run unopposed, I don’t think,” Sanders said

[The Nation @thenation]

For our December print issue, @sunraysunray, @mikejbeggs and @BenBurgis wrote about what socialist elected officials can do in practice to advance an affirmatively democratic socialist political program. https://t.co/II0XNUmBgJ

We've had some trouble lately with other outlets not doing this, so want to shout out @HoustonChron @Dexinvestigates for acknowledging @MichellePitcher reporting in their new story about TDCJ overdose crisis: https://t.co/I0jZjQPVR2

Brazilian President Lula:

The end of online betting is already having a positive impact on the economy. Without spending money on gambling, families have increased their consumption.

Online betting destroyed lives and must remain in the past, like a nightmare from which Brazil has finally awakened.

Veronica Escobar says about Latinos in case Andy Beshear runs for president after not funding Gina Hinojosa: “we have long memories.”

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

I look forward to working with Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa to shut down the Dilley Trailer Prison once and for all.

We must end family detention in America. No child should be ripped away from their lives and locked away. No private company should profit from the suffering and trauma of children.
