Remember when TX grabbed immigrants, put them on buses and planes to Chicago, Martha's Vineyard and DC?

Let's return the favor. TX loves gun so much. Let 'em have them. On the Capitol lawn.

Give the middle finger to Abbot & Trump. 🖕🏻

Last yr, I would have been reluctant to upend the institution of nonpartisan redistricting.

Now? F that. Why protect institutions when the Racist-in-Chief blows them up to maintain his power?

Why the hammer? A hammer can be use to harm people or build shelter and protect them. It's neutral.

Just like power.

“If people want to leave Donald Trump . . . over a conclusion provided by the Department of Justice over Jeffrey Epstein, that does not seem like a rational choice,” the senior White House official said.

Welcome to MAGA world.

Make it make sense.

". . . . Masihi said . . . 'I vote Trump all the way.'"

An undocumented immigrant can't vote for anyone. It's not the undocumented part; it's the non-citizen part. And in some states, it's a felony.

Remind me who's voting illegally?

Despite being ‘broken,’ an ICE detainee from Diamond Bar believes Trump is ‘doing the right thing’
Immigration officials say Arpineh Masihi is facing the consequences for breaking the law. But even from a federal prison, she’ll ‘vote Trump all the way.’

At OTW, we believe in #truth #justice and baked goods. 🧁

When friend @twobittart.bsky.social announced her book #GlutenForPunishment, we couldn't resist.

Great read for anyone who wants to know what to bake when their ❤️ life falls apart.

Pre-order at a local bookstore.

Too bad the #OrganizingToWin #newsletter went out before @bradcaldana.bsky.social 's #EmailStrategySummit

We'll have to wait until May to see what I learned.

But you don't have to wait to see what I did wrong in the April edition.

What does an organizing "investment" mean?
Spoiler alert: it's not just starting the canvassing in July instead of August.

At the @americavotes.bsky.social #StateSummit, I went to a panel about the #2026midterms.

A few speakers referred to "investments," so I asked what they meant, bc I don't mean starting the canvassing in July instead of August.

What does investment mean to you?
