Hi Bluesky! 🎉 This is my first post, and while 300 characters feels like a challenge for someone as verbose as me, I’m here to give it a shot. 📝 Can’t wait to connect, share ideas, & explore this community. Mostly here to follow news & repost with my own opinions. Here goes nothing! #BlueskyWelcome
Ha! Eastside. Westside. Northside. Southside. Long ago, the city lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Pearl started charging for fucking parking. 🥴

My god, who is coming to save us from this chaos? 😢 I have pie-in-the-sky hopes that we see a significant shift in the tides in Nov, but there are still so many enablers throughout the US who see nothing wrong with this systematic violence against brown & now white bodies.
We have lost our way.

This is great & all, but after seeing the ending to this film… I just know the next one is going to be better. I cannot WAIT UNTIL THE FINAL INSTALLMENT. I just might crack!

Commissioner Tommy Calvert lays it out plainly: when fewer than half vote, communities get left behind. Voting is how Texans secure tax relief, clean water, strong schools, and real opportunity. Register by Feb 2 • Early vote Feb 17 • Election Day March 3.

I think my least favorite quality in a person, one that is so often praised as an asset or virtue, is: "doesn't take no for an answer." We're living through an extended nightmare of what that looks like when brought to its logical conclusion.

At San Antonio City Council, Dolores Huerta framed this moment for what it is: historic.
Moving elections to November aligns voting with working lives and family realities.
Election Day is when people choose who governs their lives.

#Russia is not a monolith, obviously. In fact, the country has many good people who disagree with the #Kremlin.
I often think about how #Muscovites responded to the invasion of #Ukraine — downright enraged.
Where are our protests? Where is our fury? Is it still being scheduled on Meta?

Aggression against sovereign nations is not a public health strategy to deal with drug problems that our country enables—if this even is about drugs. Good heavens.
Trump says "something is gonna have to be done" about Mexico and President Claudia Sheinbaum in response to a question about whether the Venezuelan strike was a "message" to her government.

My god, this is horrible! My initial instinct is to beg for forgiveness & mercy from this transgression, but how can anybody? We are all complicit in this disaster, even if we didn’t vote for it. What are we doing to stop this madness? Spreading “awareness”? Re-posting from our homes?! Is that it??
The US has carried out a series of attacks across Venezuela targeting airbases and military bases. Venezuelan anti-air systems appear nonexistent. #VenezuelaInvasion

Sorry to Kanye this, and imma let Mayor Sheffield finish, but… #SanAntonio not only appointed but also elected a black woman mayor 12 years ago, and we now have our second POC woman mayor (who is also LGBT [the 2nd in the nation])—and did you see us in the news? Or is it because we’re in purple TX?
So anyway.
The first Black Woman Mayor of Detroit was sworn in today.

There was once a time when San Antonians could get around the city in a way that's a little more evocative of the Bay Area than the Alamo City: the trolley.
