San Antonio is one of the most economically segregated cities in the United States of America. Y’all think this is a flex when in reality residents are priced out.
.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.
Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.
A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.
Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.
This is a total bummer. I went to San Antonio, for Game 1, ALONE, in a lightweight-Knicks-collared-shirt and was treated with absolute kindness. Really hope @NYCMayor responds appropriately.
BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:
“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.
And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.
We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”
Always, but especially during honking celebrations.
Keep your kids, including teens, buckled up and safely within the vehicle; don’t turn celebration into unimaginable tragedy. No one thinks the worst will happen to them until it does. Love you, San Antonio! Go Spurs Go!!
