Musician, essayist, pretend artist. Taught elementary kids to play recorder and bang on trash cans. Taught high school kids how to tell a joke. Good trouble!

@lawindsor @RonFilipkowski It was a train wreck. Several friends have successfully managed D campaigns in the Houston area and beyond. All of their offers to help (volunteer) were answered with “someone will be in touch.” Crickets. We organized for him on our own with absolutely no support or resources.

@daveweigel @KlasfeldReports All in The Timing! Maybe next he’ll buy a loaf of bread?

[Craig Spencer MD MPH @Craig_A_Spencer]

In 18 years as an ER doc, I ask about immigration status about as often as I ask about insurance—which is never

My job is to respond to the person in front me, as if neither immigration or insurance matters

Because in that moment, neither of those things matter

So tell me, what do Americans want me to do when the person dying before me is undocumented? Let them die?

And what if they’re uninsured? Check that they’ve paid their monthly dues before I check their pulse?

We should stop making this an argument about providing emergency care to certain populations

And start asking how it reflects on us all if we’re truly willing to withhold care in those moments of emergency, just because of what a piece of paper might or might not say

@mikejwhelan Please accept a referral to Palliative Care. It’s NOT the same as hospice. They can help with all the things you and Rebecca are struggling with. Our palliative care team explained their job as adding life to my husband’s time. I couldn’t have managed without them.

@AnnaBower No, but there’s a tariff on tren de arugula.

@Angry_Staffer Houston, but that’s because it doesn’t have to travel very far.

@jentaub @WalshFreedom @KamalaHarris Ditto here in Texas. My ultra Christian, ultra conservative neighbors just put out a Harris sign that’s twice as big as mine!

@0liviajulianna This makes me so happy! I just released my ticket so someone else can get fired up. I’m already working as hard as I can!

@ArtCandee His own inflammatory remarks?

@lawindsor Don’t make me google that. RIP my search history.

@KatiePhang @TexasTribune @JoyceWhiteVance @ktbenner @hugolowell @FrankFigliuzzi1 This is the panel I most want to see! Unfortunately, I’m volunteering in another venue all afternoon. We pick our shifts a month before the schedule comes out. But I’m there in spirit. Break a leg!

@KatiePhang @TexasTribune @harrylitman @keithellison @EllenRosenblum @talkingfedspod Which venue?

[andrea cope @andreacope1]

@TheRealHoarse I was there when Liz begged TX conservatives to vote for Ted Cruz’ Democratic opponent.

[andrea cope @andreacope1]

@PalmerReport She also encouraged Texas Republicans to vote out Ted Cruz!

@DavidCornDC I’d watch this if I could, but yesterday I was raped, shot and killed while buying a loaf of bread at my local grocery store. How are all these people still alive?

[andrea cope @andreacope1]

@PalmerReport Delighted to chip in!

@FrankFigliuzzi1 @hugolowell @KatiePhang @JoyceWhiteVance @ktbenner @TexasTribune I’m volunteering in the green room. Can’t wait!

[andrea cope @andreacope1]

@mikejwhelan Fairly simple fix. Contact your bank immediately. They’ll cancel and replace the card and put the money back in your account.
