@Lancegooden What an idiotic take. I am embarrassed that you represent me and my community.

Fun fact: none of the millions of felony crimes committed by unnamed bankers at Well Fargo over more than 10 years will be recorded as crimes by police or reported in the media as part of the property "crime rate." The media won't call where they live a "high crime neighborhood."

@TheRealHoarse I had to fight and push to get The Boneyard skatepark built. “Nobody skates. Nobody will use it.” It opened a month ago - twenty years in the making, second largest in Texas.

Last night, at 8:30pm, in the middle of the week - it was -bustling- with a great new community.

@WhenISayJ Sat on a criminal jury. Fascinating. I think a lawyer on the panel can help keep the jury from wandering away from the law or creating their own set of rules.

“Community input,” where the 0.001% of the population who shows up to meetings gets to veto the actions of people elected by over half of it, is just voter suppression with extra steps.

@mmatitanfans I term limited out and no longer represent the District. Your council representative may be reached at [email protected] I would suggest using e-assist to report the outage of the traffic light, although it may be construction related and out of the City’s control.

I celebrate no man's death; the "bell tolls" argument resonates.

But Ken Starr helped set us on this nightmare path in which the corrupt brand themselves as holy, turn trivia into monumental distractions, and destroy the fabric of this nation for personal gain and power.

@RadioFreeTom I vote in every election (municipal elections are so important) in person, preferably on election day.

Most importantly, I always bring my kids with me - because they need to -see- the participation of other people that is so critical to our democracy.

@kyledcheney So, not sure of the penalties for the documents, but definitely 2 years for each Time cover and 25 years for the decor. What say you, @ratemyskyperoom ?

Today 43 Republicans voted to keep insulin at $1200/mo instead of $35. Tomorrow every Republican will ask you to be outraged that gas is $5 instead of $3.

In the GOP world, $1200 for life saving insulin in fair play but $5 for gas is an outrage.

Vote them all out.

@AceAlli @Devilstower They can object to the Senate Parliamentarian about whether a particular item meets the rules of the reconciliation process that is being used to pass the bill with 50 votes instead of 60.

@BetoORourke Because most candidates have more sense than to play an entire summer of small ball. Garland has over 240,000 residents but zero investment of time from you. Same for other large cities. Is this a legit campaign for Governor or some kind of weird vanity project?

[Alexandra Petri @petridishes]

ugh when i dreamed that star wars could be real life i didnt mean the part where democracy erodes and ominous men in robes make all important decisions
i just meant lightsabers

No child alive today is responsible for slavery. No one is this room is responsible for slavery.

But each and every single one of us bears responsibility for writing the next chapter of history. We decides what happens next, and how WE respond to history and the world around us.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Wow. North America's Building Trades Unions Chief of Staff Mike Monroe reveals how Trump completely broke his promises and undermined American workers, while President Biden delivered for labor in his first year in office. Every worker needs to watch this.

[andrewism🌻 @_saintdrew]

imagine if the most visible spaces in public were dedicated to art and cultural expression instead of the unceasing advertisement of products and services

[Ben Fletcher @BenSFletcher]

Imagine the world we could live in if we stopped making stupid people famous, terrible people politicians, and selfish people billionaires.

@tapbot_paul Texas Lege has insisted on not allowing “new” or “additional” tolled lanes. 635E will have managed facility wide enough for two lanes, but striped for one.

@AmberSmelson @thatsbrianda Wine markup is about 3x
at dinner. No more crazy than $20 for the pasta dish. They might come back with a corkage fee though . . .
