Yeah, About That…

If only Dems can get the noisy online “influencers” and pundits seeking clicks and controversy to unite around Dem nominees the way the losing primary candidates have. It seems to me that defeating Trump regime enablers and sycophants should be the priority right now.

This is the most aggressive attack on Black political power since Jim Crow. You look at the last 12 months, you look at these Supreme Court cases, you look at this racist redistricting map in Texas — and I say racist because it is systematically diluting the voting power of Black and Brown Texans.

When you look at how the districts are now drawn, a white Texan has a lot more political power. Their vote matters more than the vote of our Black and brown neighbors. It’s why, a year ago yesterday, my colleagues and I in the Texas House took the extraordinary step of breaking quorum.

We left the state of Texas and we went up to Illinois in order to prevent them from getting quorum. They couldn’t take up these new maps because we were gone. They called the Texas Rangers on us to find us and and arrest us and bring us back to the Capitol.

Something is happening in Texas. https://t.co/0J7jsTNAcF pic.twitter.com/q78dYSAJ8U

Last night, I was endorsed by a Democrat, a Republican, and an Independent in Arlington, TX.

We really are building a new kind of politics — and now there’s a word for it:

The only people paying attention to the pundits are…the pundits.
