Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a husband, father, and small business owner who called Houston home for the past 35 years. As he drove to work earlier this week, an ICE agent in an unmarked van shot and killed him.
His family deserves justice–beginning with a thorough, independent investigation–and Lorenzo deserves to be remembered not as a victim, but as a man who loved his family and worked tirelessly to provide for them.
@DonHuffines@DanPatrick Prayer has always been and always be in schools. No one is denied the privilege of praying. We all have the ability to say our own silent prayers.
We're 22 min in and @dudes4harris has already raised $2.1 million for @KamalaHarris! Hey White Dudes, even if you aren't on the call, make a contribution here: https://t.co/tL6nT0nFQy
.@bigpoppa929 said it so well at the GCISD School Board meeting last night, calling out the board members who were backed, from the pulpit of Gateway Church, by Robert Morris, who today stepped down.
Mike is exactly right on what, why, and what's next.
.@maddow: Donald Trump does not like elections. He does not like the system of voting. When he was running for reelection in 2020 the Republican Party decided to essentially abolish their platform and that their new platform is whatever Donald Trump wants. That is not a democracy. He's trying to get rid of the American system of government and that means getting rid of a government that does anything other than serve him and that's what Project 2025 is all about. Trump and his movement are not running against Democrats. They are running against democracy. As American citizens, we are going to be the ones to decide if the American system of government survives or if it's taken over by an authoritarian
“You can’t call yourself a Christian and deny health care to the sick.
You can’t call yourself a Christian and cut food stamps for the poor.
You can’t call yourself a Christian and reject the stranger seeking asylum.”
The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
@sameppler I just read your column about voting for the person (Flores), not the Party. I completely reject the thinking. Look at his endorsements; he will most certainly vote for Trump. That is an absolute deal breaker for me. I’m glad I don’t have to vote in your specific race.
Can we get 500 retweets on this? This is one hell of an ad from the Democrat running for US Senate in North Dakota. The question is whether people will watch it and share it.
1. In Nov 2024, either the Democratic nominee or the Republican nominee will be elected President. That’s it. One of those two. No one else.
2. So if you truly believe Donald Trump is unfit to be President, if you truly believe he’s a threat to democracy, then your civic duty is to vote for WHOEVER the Democratic nominee is. Period. Not vote 3rd party, not run for President yourself, not sit out that race for whatever reason. No. If you truly want Trump stopped, your ONLY move is to vote for & campaign hard for the Democratic nominee.
I’m tired of NeverTrumpers & principled conservatives trying to dance around this. I’m a NeverTrumper. It doesn’t take political courage for me to vote for Joe Biden. It’s my obligation as an American. It’s my duty as a defender of democracy.
A new law I signed this year is now in effect to protect our healthcare heroes.
Criminals who assault healthcare professionals in the workplace will now face felony charges in Texas.
Thank you to Sen. West and Rep. Anchia for bringing this crucial legislation to my desk.
