Don't let Greg Abbott fool you: he invited the data centers to Texas and now he's trying to make you forget it.

I will put money in your pocket by freezing our electricity rates and making the corporations pay their fair share.

@scottbraddock @BradBuckleyDVM Chairman needs to feel🔥🔥🔥everywhere he goes. Texas Republicans don’t get out enough in OPEN PUBLIC TOWN HALLS — they stay behind gated communities in curated, invitation-only events with PEOPLE WHO THINK JUST LIKE THEM. Do they ever even visit Texas public schools? #txlege

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

Tough room:
Texas House Public Education Chairman @BradBuckleyDVM was booed this morning during a State PTA event. He was met with "We do not want vouchers in Texas!" and "Fully fund our schools!" #txlege

Today’s Houston Democracy Project Blog post asks what is best way for Democratic members of the Texas Legislature to use time & efforts? Elected officials have an obligation to keep constituents safe & heal divisions between core supporters. #Houston https://t.co/OgHssidW9M

I will always call them King Trump & King Musk. They want to rule as kings outside of our Constitution.

Today’s Houston Democracy Project Blog post asks if future Veterans Day ceremonies will honor service in mass deportations & civil liberties violations of American citizens. #Houston https://t.co/jCkkY7Nr9r

Today’s Houston Democracy Project Blog post says this time there will not be pink hats & Hillbilly Elegy. We’ll fight as required & demand Houston/Harris County elected Democrats who exist off us to fully join the fight. #Houston https://t.co/8x0NQshIxq

This. We will not be able to get accurate information.

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important.

We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

A note to Dem politicians and campaigns: You won't persuade voters with a one-off appearance on a popular podcast the week before the election (which is not a knock on Harris' campaign; she only had a couple months so they did all they could). The reason Republicans are winning over so many young people is because the right invests hours and hours, everyday, every month, every year in audience-building among its influencer class. We can't compete by sticking our candidates on an episode one time in October of an election year. Democrats need to embrace YEAR-ROUND progressive media (either directly political or political-adjacent) if we want to compete. But you cannot only remember independent media outlets exist 2 weeks before an election-- not in a media environment where the vast majority of Americans (and practically ALL persuadable Americans) are consuming content on alternative outlets.

Democrats didn’t run on this

Republicans ran AGAINST Democrats on this

Important distinction

[Nikolaj🇺🇦🇵🇸 @nikicaga]

Lake was an awful candidate, but Democrats owe a lot to Gallego

He jumped in early, cast Sinema as a DC elitist and himself as a hard working Arizona man, and then seamlessly pivoted to the election vs Lake. One of the best Dem campaigns this year

[Stephen Robinson (Bluesky at @playtyperguy.com) @SER1897]

They ran a misogynistic campaign bc they are misogynists but what’s ironic is that they likely could’ve won without it. They just crave cruelty.

Hey, no one listens to me, but people listen to Brian. Been preaching it for years. Invest $$$ in creating a robust left-wing media ecosystem to battle the right-wing. There's a reason why Bannon said the media is the enemy and not the Democrats.

[JLC @jamielynncr]

Don't spread conspiracy theories. No one cheated. That's not what happened.

I understand why people would prefer to believe someone stole the election than that so many people don't care if the rest of us live, die, or become political prisoners.

But that's not what happened.

[Malcolm Nance @MalcolmNance]

LETS GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT.
The American People voted to absolutely make sure LOADS of people would die at Trumps hands.
- Their daughters, their wives, children & their fellow citizens will die from school shootings, pregnancy & easily cured diseases.
-It’s free hunting season for blacks with immunity for white cops.
- Muslims & Latinos will DEFINITELY die in mass deportation roundups/camps.
- Gaza will be bulldozed if not ethnically cleansed.
- Iranians who want democracy will die.
- Ukrainians are dying in droves already.

If you think your family is immune from Trumps dementia & chaos that is coming? Did you forget about Covid?
