We are resisting competitive authoritarianism in the US. This is what tilting the playing field of an election looks like. What role did MAGA Abbot and Paxton play in this? Why are so many polling locations closing in TX? This election affects DC, the country, and the world. Contact your TX friends!

DoorDash seems to not care that ICE agents are shooting their workers while they on the job. Community members are the ones who have gotten Wilber medical attention in detention and legal support — without a single shred of help from this multibillion dollar corporation profiting off his labor.
An NBC News article reads: “Garcés Perez, who Lincoln-Goldfinch said lives in Austin, is a DoorDash driver. In an email, a company spokesperson confirmed Garcés Perez was making a delivery at the time, adding that DoorDash is investigating and would not release more information “at this time.””

While their drivers are being gunned down by Trump’s secret police, DoorDash is raking in blood money. The company pulled in a massive $4.45 billion in revenue (and $200 million in pure profit) just last quarter, vaulting CEO Tony Xu into billionaire status on the backs of unprotected gig workers.
DOORDASH STAYS SILENT EVEN AFTER A SECOND DOORDASHER IS SHOT BY ICE
28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garcés Perez was DoorDashing when he was shot in the back by an ICE agent in Austin, Texas yesterday. This follows the fatal shooting of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine in July 2026.

Our experience in DC— Feds killing, kidnapping, harassing,while Trump tries to tear down community golf courses, the Kennedy Center, the WH— makes it clear how callous this regime is. They don’t care about us, ofc, but they don’t care about anyone or anything but lining their own pockets.
