One of the most important lessons I learned there was that white people were not smarter than people like me. They just pushed that falsehood to keep us in our place and convince themselves that it was true. Look no further than the white DEI hires in the White House.
Look at who benefits when Trump does what everyone thinks is stupid. Trump has nothing to lose; he has three more years, thanks to the corrupt Supreme Court, and he has almost complete immunity as president.
Abbie Kamin -“I think pitting people against one another and saying that it’s just people out to get me is paranoid and does a disservice to the people of the most diverse city in the country.”
If HPD seems to think that the immigrant community is ignorant of what they are doing, they are sorely mistaken. Whitmire and his policy have made Houston much more dangerous for us. People who would normally call in crimes will not do so, especially if their freedom is at risk or the risk of being separated from their families here.
Based on what I found online, Governor Abbott lied, but lying comes easily to MAGAs. It was a loan.
So, in November, when the election comes around, if you want to do what is right, vote straight party ticket for the Democrats, including those like the judge that they wrote about.
Mexico’s leader suggested Washington should focus on other steps: Containing the voracious American appetite for illicit drugs, and combating illegal arms trafficking.
Trump will claim victory and throw in the towel.
There are a lot of people wanting to believe that he will be the one to finally allow Texas to elect a United States Senator. But many people are not so sure about investing the amount of money needed to win such a contest in Texas. I personally would rather send money to the Democratic Senate running in Alaska, Mary Peltola.
Support our Hispanic candidates – si se puede
Trump has made our streets and children less safe with his pardons, especially of pedophiles. Maybe he believes that pedophiles are good people; Trump sure hung around with Epstein.
I am not surprised that the Hispanic leadership here in Houston has not criticized him. Too many of them owe their political careers to him. Before running for office, almost without exception, they went to kiss the Don’s ring.
Should we unite behind Talarico? Probably, but personally, I would rather wait for a better candidate, preferably a Hispanic. The Republicans will have a field day with Talarico. I hope that Gina can help carry Texas for Democrats.
In many of the photos of Gina and Bobby, you can find Talarico-like gum stuck to them. He used them because they would have done what they did regardless of whether Talarico was at the top of the ticket.
It is the name; it would not surprise me that the vast majority of Latinos thought they were voting for a Latino. When I first saw the name (Talarico), it sounded Spanish but unusual, so I looked it up, it is Italian.
