Governor Abbott is wrong on the law, and this ordinance is legal. Senate Bill 4 and the Governor cannot trump the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.
We should not give into this unlawful intimidation. I stand ready to work with Mayor Whitmire and City Council to defend the city’s laws and protect Houston residents.

This war is costing a billion dollars a day. In one fucking month we will spend more over there than we needed to save healthcare for more than 2 million Americans. They literally are taking away your food and your healthcare for this regime change war of choice.

Trump gave Amazon $8 billion in tax breaks last year.
That was money that would have gone toward lowering your health care costs.
Billionaire corporations are getting sweet deals from Trump while your bills go up and up.

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” gave a $1 trillion tax break to the 1% while taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans. Working families will die so that the very rich get even richer.
Yes. We need a wealth tax on billionaires.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.

My biggest takeaway is how SO MANY far-right movements had to be planted + continuously funded and massaged behind the scenes. I know this evil is a historical constant, but being far-right is not the default or norm they want us to believe it is.

In 1933, Mussolini closed the national opera to “renovate” it. In 1934, Hitler closed the national opera house to “renovate” it. In 1935, Portuguese dictator Salazar closed the national opera house to “renovate” it. What a weird series of coincidences!
