Proposition A was on the same 2023 Houston ballot as John Whitmire - and even got more votes (83% vs 65%). Yet now as mayor, he continues to throw roadblocks up to keep its simple provision from being a reality. That council members can help shape the city debate agenda.

We love @glaucomflecken.bsky.social videos, but a great mashup with UHouston alum Sen. Elizabeth Warren is an extra treat. Together they hilariously introduce the Break Up Big Medicine Act.

“…I think it's 50,000 tons of food that are stored in Djibouti, South Africa, Dubai and, wait for it, 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻, 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝗮𝘀. That is rotting rather than going to Gaza, rather than going to Sudan…” …That’s not America, is it? Bono confronts the bro-sphere on USAID cuts www.mediaite.com/media/podcas...

NYTimes reporter @NickKristof gets a look at stockpiles of US donated medicines that are no longer reaching the poor in the developing world because of USAID cuts. Similar warehouses at Houston ports contain tons of food and meds stalled by the cuts.

Citizens speaking at Texas Senate Redistricting Committee hearing (Sunday Aug 18th) were 43 to 1 opposed to new congressional maps. Not even this staunch conservative lawyer and GOP party activist was in favor. #TxLege:

“I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God.” Nov. 11, 1918 - WW1 Ends Imperial War Museum recording of when the guns fell silent,…and then bird song returns #VeteransDay #ArmistanceDay

Thousands of Houston area citizens are expected to join protests this weekend against the Trump administration. #NoKingsDay seeks to emphasize a growing number of grievances around budget, policy, and administrative abuses of power.

Gov Abbott is loudly decrying criminal bail problems in Texas, but he’s not said anything - pro or con - about recent pardons of violent criminals from the January 6th insurrection. Despite saying those actions should never be allowed to happen again just a week later. #TxLege
