San Marcos City Council Place 3 | Trying to work through how cringe I find politicians on social media. Your patience is appreciated.

“The fact that this is something that came about in a matter of hours without any public conversation, opportunity for stakeholders to be consulted, knowing that its effect is immediate and far reaching...The only opportunity we had was to intervene.” - @sgharakhanian 👏

Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani.

Zohran ran a bold, progressive campaign that spoke directly to the economic problems facing working people— and he won!

We can all learn from him.

Muchísimas gracias, @bradlander , for your love, light, and advocacy. Estamos contigo 🦋 desde Tejas y across the U.S., demanding your release and denouncing this abuse of power. No estas solo. La lucha sigue.

As ICE disappears our neighbors, LP leader Brad Lander has been regularly escorting immigrants to their check-ins. Today, in a continuing and troubling trend of intimidation against local officials, ICE arrested him and is currently in custody.

We demand his immediate release.

[Local Progress @LocalProgress]

Brad has been a principled local official for over a decade now and one of the founding members of Local Progress. He is one of many reasons our org exists to today and beyond being a member, many consider him to be a friend and mentor.

We stand in solidarity with you, Brad.

As was said recently by Dylan Saba, the problem with throwing Palestine under the bus is that it crashes the bus. If you let the state threaten San Marcos because of a “Palestine exception” to your politics, I hope national news lately impresses upon you how foolish that is.

[alex birnel @alexbirnel]

Abbott threatening weaponized withholding of state funds against the city of San Marcos for attempting to stand with Palestinian life in opposition to genocide is collective punishment, a tactic he has in common with Israel. Shared authoritarian impulses.

🐍💜 this was such a fun event! SMEF is such a gem💎 tysm for all the love and support you pour into our Rattler familia.

[Andrew Fernandez @SMCISD_Comm]

Thank you to the San Marcos Education Foundation for hosting an incredible 2025 Gala to honor our Teachers of the Year, Retirees, and Years of Service Honorees! SMEF raised more than $70,000 for @SanMarcosCISD students and staff last night! #StrikeAsOne

ICE relentlessly pursued this Fulbright scholar and forced her to flee the country because she had liked some pro-Palestine posts and signed onto a letter calling for Palestinian liberation.

Even the most basic expressions of support for Palestinian human rights or critique of Israel can make you a target for destruction by the Trump regime.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

When the President simply ignores the courts we are no longer a democracy or a fucking republic. We are a dictatorship. You are now wiping your ass with the Constitution so save me your MAGA horseshit about loving this country.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

ICE is torturing random green card holders now for no reason

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

The Trump administration deported a 10 year old child who is a US citizen with brain cancer, and they’re preventing her from accessing life-saving treatment.

Disgusting.

[bechamilton @bechamilton]

It is important to be very clear. The people you see in this photo have not had any due process whatsoever between being uprooted from their lives & families in the U.S. and finding themselves now in CECOT prison in El Salvador: https://t.co/vnjugE9dW8

[Sam Robinson @samueljrob]

Michigan officials send letter to Homeland Security Noem calling for the immediate release of activist Mahmoud Khalil, whose wife is from Flint. Detroit officials on letter include U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, state Sen. Stephanie Chang and City Council’s Gabriela Santiago-Romero.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨NEW: House Republicans are planning to impeach Federal Judge James Boasberg after he stopped the Trump Administration from possibly illegally deporting Venezuelans to El Salvador using a wartime law from 1798.

RETWEET if you stand with Judge Boasberg against the GOP!

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

Members of the Ku Klux Klan were judges, lawyers, and bankers. Not just farmers as they are often portrayed. That’s why they wore masks. They were prominent men and didn’t want any legal consequences for terrorizing black communities

[Texas Cannabis Collective @txcannaco]

So many accounts here want to ban all hemp products (most of them not from Texas) for a myriad of reasons. Yet not one of them can give a realistic detailed plan on how to eliminate arrests for cannabis possession.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown University Medical School—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, and has committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon** (one of the most difficult surgical fields in all of medicine!!!), she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants, which cannot be easily replaced. Her phone was seized at the border. A federal judge handed down an injunction against her deportation—but she was already deported on a plane en route to Paris. Brown’s kidney transplant clinic is now strained by her deportation.

[Henry VIII @SussexHenryVIII]

The fact that ICE is now detaining white green card holders from white countries means we have entered a different phase.
