I hope for the best for James to beat MAGA, and this is very kind of people to say. However, I have zero interest in working on campaigns. I love being fully independent. I only worked on Jasmine's because she is a friend, and I care greatly about her. This was a very emotional job for me.

I'm really concerned about what this voter suppression will do to voters in Dallas County. Paxton really created a huge obstacle for Texas Dems to overcome. It's hard to motivate people when the powers that be believe their vote won't count, even when they show up and wait for hours.

Not a final order, but it is interesting that Paxton only sued over Dallas County and not El Paso.

ATTN EL PASO COUNTY: A judge orders polls to stay open until 8 pm. If you are in line by 8 pm, you can vote!

Jasmine Crockett speaks about the voter suppression tactics being used today. A judge extended Dallas County voting to 9 pm today in an emergency order. If you are in line at your correct polling location by 9 pm, you can vote!

ATTN DALLAS COUNTY! A judge orders that polls are open until 9 pm tonight. If you are in line by 9 pm, you will be able to vote. But please check to see where your correct polling location is. You MUST go to the correct location. experience.arcgis.com/experience/0...

@andybeshearky.bsky.social and I have different ways of talking to folks, but both are effective.

On my way to a meeting in the Senate office buildings, I decided to pop in and ask about ol' Mitch.

I'm bad at keeping up with sites like Twitter and Bluesky. Threads is easier to keep up with thanks to the IG link.

And by deleted, I mean I deleted the app. That's why I don't engage on there anymore. I randomly upload content via browser just to keep my account alive and prevent others from impersonating me. But yep, this is the unfortunate path TT has taken.

This is true, and it hit Black political creators sooner. I got demonetized on TikTok back in 2023, and my views were suppressed (still are). I deleted TT in January w/ the talk of platform sales. I began focusing on growing on other platforms in 2022 and working hard to get sponsorships bc of this.

Idk if y'all can see what I quoted now that she blocked me, but she tried to insult digital creators/media and then said I couldn't pick out Lauren Underwood in a line up. Weird behavior.

Then you should leave my page. I'm a digital creator, and that clearly bugs you, pumpkin.

Why are you putting work in quotes? Do you not value digital media, sugar foot?

In 2016, she was a child. In 2020, she was pro-Biden.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Nope, I'm not even in Illinois. Those of us who have worked with Kat at Democratic events are just excited for her, and we are trying to show support for someone who we respect and whose work we value.

So you don't follow Aaron Parnas' breaking news either?

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
This proves exactly what I said. She was a minor (and unable to vote) the first time Trump was elected. By the time she got to college, she learned how shitty Republican politics are. By the time she was 20, this is the kind of work she did. She has never voted for Trump nor campaigned for him.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
She's Palestinian, first of all. Second of all, she was very publicly supporting Biden and fighting against GOP disinformation about COVID-19. I'm really not sure where you are getting your info from, but dropping a link may help. Especially since the pic on this post is 11 years old.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
My hope (and expectation) is that she will lean into the kind of messaging that she does in her longer form content. She has a talent for talking about law and policy in an accessible way. Her Project 2025 videos were very good. But I agree, typical influencer style stuff won't win elections.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Great question! Yes, because I also tour and do shows in public several times per week, unlike someone who only does digital content, I get a physical representation of who I mobilize to act offline. The vast majority is Black women b/t the ages of 30 and 60.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
That's understandable. I just typically don't see folks associated with those outlets go anywhere near the right, so ideologically, I was just surprised to see her painted as a Republican in disguise. She doesn't give me Lindy Li vibes at all (IYKYK).

Yeah, I got blocked, too lol

Well look, Lisa, something we agree on. I say the same thing about him, and I honestly didn't expect you to have this take.

Great, just like a Democratic leader represents their constituents, I represent my audience. My audience voted at 92%. I successfully did my job. Who are you analyzing next?

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Google is free. I watched the videos, and she and I were hired for some of the same campaigns combating Trump and Project 2025. www.motherjones.com/press-releas...

I don't care to listen to anyone who sits here and aligns with an account who has called me out of my name, including calling me a bitch, for no reason. The way you and your group treat Black women is disgusting.
030
Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Yeah, I'm actually quite shocked by the vitriol of me just saying, "Hey, I worked with her. She is a known progressive." Folks at Medias Touch, Mother Jones, and other progressive outlets even expressed excitement at her running, so I didn't think she was a controversial figure in this space.
120
Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
I've got about 1 million followers across platforms and am one of the top progressive Black content creators and commentators. I work with Congressional Black Caucus. So this weird thing where you keep trying to call me a white Republican woman to excuse things like calling me a "bitch" won't work.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
I don't get my lessons of history of queer liberation from white people. Especially because white people like to use queerness as a shield when called out on their lack of racial intersectionality.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
No, Becky is short for "Rebecca." You know that though because you called me a white woman several times. You know exactly what you were doing by calling me that, and it's weird af since I am visibly and obviously Black. Again, get help. Weird.
120
Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Nah, calling a Black woman "Becky" makes no sense whatsoever. Your rants are unhinged and disturbing. You need help.
010
Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
No, she didn't. She has been vocal about it, and she is also welcoming of questions about her GOP past. Her expertise is in exposing the brainwashing that the right does, especially among the youth. There are so many amazing interviews with her and pieces about her, as we as her work.
040
Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
I would ask her about that. That sounds like a worthwhile discussion to have honestly.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Ah yes, the young Palestinian woman who AOC follows and supports and who is a regular invitee among the Congressional Democrats and who was a target by Libs of TikTok is a "Trump voting white girl." You guys are so steeped in your nonsense that it's insane.

Elizabeth Booker Houston @bookersquared.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
Is...is she okay? Y'all, this is the wildest back and forth I've had on here. Does Bluesky have a bot issue?

Right. This guy wants a Black woman content creator to do more than the white male Senate Majority Leader. Make it make sense.
