I’ll be at my voting place in Houston bright and early on October 19th and I hope to heaven I have to wait in a long line. 🤞🏼

Funny how they move to the most liberal cities in Texas every single time, too.

I will vote for him without a doubt. I voted for Obama in 2008 not bc he was perfect but bc I believed he was a decent man. I disagreed with his public opposition to LGBTQ marriage. But bc he was a decent man he had the capacity to grow and learn & we got legalized equal marriage 7 years later.

I invite you to hear the evil anti-trans candidates here in Texas. They sound NOTHING like James Talarico. This is a fact. If you can’t understand the difference then I don’t know what to tell you.

He is barely up in polls. We are now experiencing the huge influx of cash spent against him. And yes harm reduction matters to me. I’m caregiver to a profoundly disabled teenager. My party hasn’t been ideal on supportive legislation but the other wants him locked away in an institution. It matters.

He hasn’t refused to stand with marginalized groups. He could have answered this better but I disagree that this means he’s an evil anti-trans candidate. The other guys actually want trans people dead. But instead the narrative is about Talarico being a traitor. And that’s why we lose. We all lose.

I live in Houston in a purplish-reddish neighborhood. I’m going to tell y’all right now that this will help nudge those who were afraid/skeptical to vote for him. I’ve heard it with my own ears at the bus stop waiting for my kid. You can be mad about it and yes, it sucks, but it is true.

I swear social media cooked so many brains. My parents and my in-laws regularly fall for really obvious AI posts/disinformation and have all been scammed online at some point.

We vote early and the lines are always manageable. Highly recommend. I’ll be there on day one voting my little heart out! 💙

My 18 year old daughter disappeared from the voter rolls here in Houston. She registered in Feb, got her voter registration card in the mail in March, and now she doesn’t exist in the system. Super pissed 😡

My 18 year old was purged from the system in Harris County. We are pissed but luckily caught it in time.

I felt bad at the time choosing Talarico over Crockett but my rational side knew the white Christian boy who spoke calmly and carefully had the best chance here in TX. I’m glad I don’t have to regret voting for her now. She’s hurting us all at a time when we have the best chance to make progress.

I just can’t imagine going and voting for Talarico but then also voting for Abbott. I’m in Houston and it’s going to be blue all the way down for me bc I’m so fed up with these people and their destruction of education and healthcare.

Our politicians don’t have to be exciting. Just normal people in government would be refreshing, honestly.

Vote like your life depends on it, or the life of a friend, relative, or neighbor. Because it does. We’re the decoys now.

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

Graham Platner shouldn't be a United States Senator -- and neither should Susan Collins -- and I really really hope there's a way for both of those things to be true.

Because as a rational human with half of a brain I knew the only way to get closer to having a better world was to vote my way there one election at a time with the options available. And now thanks to irrational humans we’re farther from that than we’ve ever been since I was born.

I know you’re probably tired of me and my Knicks posts. But this right here - community, joy, oneness, and celebration - is resistance. It’s the antidote to anger, suppression, hate, and fear.

I think looking at the wealth disparity chart could provide a clue. It’s hard to FEEL like you’re in a good place (even if by normal standards you ARE) when the folks all over your screens all day are in such a better place.

I feel like if enough people can turn out to vote (that previously didn’t) in these new messed up districts we could possibly see some upsets.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

My grocery budget for 5 (including household items like dish detergent, toilet paper, etc) has been $1050 for a couple of years. I spent $1395 last month not doing anything different or fancy. It’s scary to see this happening when you’re already tightly budgeted.

Any Republican reading this considers it a success story and exactly what they voted for. Their party has been telling them for a decade that Mexicans are stealing their jobs.

It’s starting to feel like the markets are being held up by fairytales and shady entities desperately hoping to keep it that way just until midterms so they can blame the inevitable collapse on the democrats.
