These powerful words from Senator-elect @jamestalarico of Texas should be REQUIRED LISTENING for every conservative, religious extremist, and anyone who weaponizes faith to justify cruelty.
Not Islam. Not Christianity.
Not Judaism. Not Hinduism.
No religion teaches us to abandon our neighbors, demonize the vulnerable, or strip struggling families of their healthcare.
MAGA's strongest support came from deeply religious red states, yet so many of this administration's policies contradict the very Christian values its supporters claim to defend.
You cannot preach love while practicing cruelty. You cannot claim to follow God while turning your back on the vulnerable.
James Talarico articulated this contradiction brilliantly.
A MUST-LISTEN message that transcends politics, religion, and borders!

This guy is an absolute legend!
THIS IS WHAT SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER LOOKS LIKE
A man of extraordinary courage, conviction, and integrity.
Fearless, unapologetic, and utterly unwilling to bow to power or compromise his principles.
He has the backbone to say what others wouldn’t dare whisper, let alone declare publicly.

I don’t want retribution.
I don’t want to get even.
I want a reckoning.
For everything they stole.
For everyone they murdered.
For betraying our allies.
For trampling on our values.
For protecting the Epstein class.
For placing oligarchs and mega corporations above the law.
For gaslighting the country every day.
A dispassionate, merciless reckoning.

We deserve the chance to be joyful. We deserve the chance to understand that solidarity can lead to results. We deserve the chance to understand that solidarity can open up the future.

Just because it’s Halloween, doesn’t mean we should have to sit through another bad horror movie.

Greg Abbott wants four more years to fix things in Texas.
He's already had eleven years.
Vote that asshole out.
What could possibly go wrong with a POTUS with a rap sheet like this? 🤔
You know what keeps me up at night?
Knowing that no matter what we uncover about Donald Trump’s involvement in the Epstein files or colluding with Russia, he won’t live long enough for the American people to get any kind of justice.
He’s already won the game because he’ll never see a jail cell and he knows it.
That should keep every honorable American up at night, too!
FDT and every single supporter!

The Abbott ads attacking Gina Hinojosa are so misleading and deceptive. The idea that Hinojosa could impose a state income tax is ridiculous or that she is for open borders is a fantasy. Abbott’s attacks on teachers and public schools during his rallies at private schools for vouchers were disgusting. He has shown he will say anything or do anything to hold on to power. It is amazing that Hinojosa is so close to him in polling given his 8 to 1 advantage in campaign funds. With Abbott follow the money including the millions he has received from developers of data centers.

If you haven’t watched this yet please do.
I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, if this doesn’t move you to vote against the current state of affairs nothing will.
Our grandchildren will watch this clip in history class, to better understand the political climate during Trumpism.

It should never be forgotten that Ken Paxton was a leader in the coup to nullify the election of Joe Biden. He filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court to challenge the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin even though he was the AG for Texas. His suit was quickly tossed by the Court. On January 7th Paxton claimed the insurrection of the previous day was the work of antifa. This lie was quickly disproven.
On the 7th 46 state attorneys general disavowed the violence of the 6th in a letter to the Acting Attorney General of the U.S. A few days later three more AGs sent their own letter in condemning the violent insurrection. Only Ken Paxton failed to sign either letter.
