I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop in Tarrant County Primary Early Voting, and nope, trend continues.

After 5 days of EV, Democrats have now outvoted Republicans by over 14k votes. It gets bigger every day. The Dem / Rep ratio is 1.38. We have not been here before.

<whispers in smirk: but none of your neighbors do bc you’re lazy>

Kim Ogg was censured anyway and run out of Houston politics as a fake democrat, so that’s cool, but let’s make sure our precinct chairs are actually Democrats, amirite?

3) Who votes on something like that, you ask?

That’s right - precinct chairs! 🎯

And guess which precinct chair led the charge to protect Kim Ogg? Yep, the one Mike is running against! We even found him on our canvassing list and had a lovely (do-you-know-who-I-am!? 😀) convo at his door.

2) Well, a few years ago, our former(ly) Democratic DA Kim Ogg started espousing some not-so-Democratic behaviors. She even worked against GVP advocates on bail and mandatory sentencing issues despite pretending to be an ally for years.

So, natch, the local party decided to censure her.

1) Today I went blockwalking for Mike Moats, my bestie’s BIL, for democratic precinct chair #578 - about the most hyper-local race you can get.

Precinct chairs are SUPPOSED to keep us informed about upcoming elections. (Many don’t, they just like feeling important.)

Why does it matter?

Newly unsealed documents confirm that the Trump regime knowingly targetedΒ students for their free speech. Rubio and Noem worked to arrest and deport students for exercising their First Amendment rights, weaponizing legitimate concerns about antisemitism to crush dissent and amass power.

β€œThose rights don’t count”: Bovino says Pretti forfeited 2nd Amendment rights in fatal shooting Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino said his agents were "the victims" of a recent deadly shooting in Minneapolis

The Trump Administration was so desperate to change the fact-based narrative about Alex Pretti's execution that they dove head-first into full-on anti-2nd Amendment talking points, and I am just in awe of their stupidity as they alienate what's left of their base.

Update: In the evidence preservation lawsuit, the current Civil Chief at the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office (who appears to be Ana Voss, based on the letter), refused to accept email service of the lawsuit last night and then refused to accept in-person service until Monday.

Ridiculous behavior.

Let’s see how far Noem will pretzel herself when a Kyle-style armed counterprotestor shows up on the streets to β€œsupport ICE”, is mistaken by ICE as a β€œleftist”, and murdered. What will they call him: a good guy with a gun (MAGA) or nah (anyone else)? πŸ€”

DA Bregman: If ICE comes in without a warrant, without reasonable suspicion, without probable cause, that is false imprisonment in New Mexico. You can’t confine, restrain, or detain someone without proper legal authority to do so. And there’s no exception for law enforcement.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The hypocrisy of gun extremists doesn’t surprise us women opposing them in hearing rooms & comment sections for years. Theirs isn’t an ideological position on a constitutional right. It’s just misogyny, racism, power, & propping up the systems of oppression. #AlexPretti #GoodGuyWithAGun #AbolishICE

My congressional district (CD18) has been w/o representation for 18 months (& longer b/c of the shenanigans of the previous 2 elections).

Now is the time to vote for Amanda Edwards and get the right woman on the job for Houston during the craziest period of modern history. #Vote #Houston #htx

This is real. This is a major turning point in American history that we’re living through together. We each have to think about how we are going to respond, what we’re able to do in our own worlds, but I would urge all the writers out there to start writing about it, in whatever way you can.

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left.

See? We just need to talk to each other.
