Progressive Texan. Verde hasta la muerte.
Let's be clear. Texas is pretty much everything, so folks can always cherry pick to fit their agenda. That said, our current elected GOP leaders are truly despicable.

Don't forget the Triumphal Arch reconsecrated to commemorate victims of sex trafficking.

Call out racist propaganda to anyone you know who appears susceptible to it. This latest screed has all the elements.

Perfectly stated.

Laura has truly made Austin a better, healthier community. Thank you.

The Heartland Madonna absolutely brought it at ACL last year.

Texas political leadership on the wrong side of history yet again. The Texschluss will fail.

They're trying to turn him into the MLK of the right. Only problem is that he was trying to return us to an age of oppression and discrimination, not lead us to freedom.

And don't overlook the contribution of our newest signing as reported by the AP: Marius Hoibraten!

McCaul was my rep at times. One of those who definitely knew better but wouldn't muster the courage to speak truth and do what was right. So ultimately just another GOP coward who enabled cruelty, corruption, and the weakening of our nation's status in the world.

If only there were a theory that took a critical look at the pervasive and intrinsic racism of white people.

He is landing punches and knocking MAGA off their game. His posts are hilarious and have absolutely undercut DJT's posts. Keep it going.

Are we kidding? Anyone in Texas wondering "why" about the gerrymandering hasn't been paying attention. It's a racist power grab by a state GOP that has chosen Trump/MAGA over Texas. In football terms (for Gov Abbott), we're letting the coach of the other cheating team call our plays. SAD.

Thank you. Chill-inducing. Fluid vocals with range allow her to pull off that cascading melody.

How about a prisoner swap? Tina Peters for 100,000 non-criminal, hard-working individuals wrongly imprisoned in concentration camps.

Spurs. Military. Tourism. HEB. USAA. Puffy tacos. And unlike the Metroplex, they have a cultura. Most importantly, they're home to this Austinite's favorite coffee: Merit. Love SA.

Maybe a prequalification test is in order. You know, questions like "I'm interested in crypto but don't understand it. Is that something you could explain to me?" Or "Do you agree that the size of one's manhood is in inverse proportion to the height of his lift kit?"

Utterly absurd, but also, Paxton overplaying his hand. Every minute Beto is behind bars equals more Democratic votes in Texas.

Humanities degrees provide critical thinking skills and insight into the human experience. This leads to open mindedness and emotional intelligence along with the ability to synthesize information, contextualize, and communicate complex ideas clearly. Humanities majors make great business leaders.
