This is huge: Rep. Senfronia Thompson says she has secured enough support to become the next Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives! Presumptive-Speaker Thompson will be Texas' first Black Speaker, first female Speaker, and the first Democrat to lead the House since 2003.

If now isn't the time to push left on Palestine, there will never be a time for it. Statements like this should be the tepid baseline going forward. Demand more from your politicians, in words AND action AND policy. Politicians aren't our friends. Demand more. Expect more.

i’m happy that pro palestine candidates are winning their races, you shouldn’t hold public office if you support genocide. but i hope that people don’t see this as the end all be all. elected officials work for the people & we have to hold them accountable.
