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.
Never under estimate how stupid people are or how resourceful they can be.
I don’t care for James Talarico; I see a fake man pretending to be a caring man. Would not surprise me if he turns out to be like Fetterman, looking at the next election and realizing he must be more MAGA to win the next election. But I will vote for him because, if nothing else, it takes the Senate away from the Republicans. That is very important because it could mean appointments to the Supreme Court.
Harris County Democratic Party primary, first of five of the eleven contested primaries.
The Department of idiots and their toadies must not read war books or know history.
Shit happens in the middle of doing this. A strong storm rolled in, and I lost power. There were so many surges that I believe that half the breakers on my electrical panel will need replacing. I had to connect wires to outlets that were working for my refrigerator, internet, and this computer. At least I did not need to get my generator working.
Been busy reading as much as I can from as many sources as possible to try to get a handle on what hell did Trump just start?
Trump is weird, but most everything he does has some rationale behind it. Attacking Iran in the manner that he just did does not.
The Islamic Republic is a theocracy founded explicitly to oppose the deepest principles of liberal democracy and the rule of law. That sounds a lot like what’s happening here in America. But it is not Islamic, it is fascist.
Calling HPD to report a crime can result in a person who is undocumented being detained while ICE comes to pick him or her up.
Democratic Candidates for Harris County District Clerk. The position is vacant.
Until we elect Latino/as that care for the community, we deserve what we get or the place we are, the bottom of the totem pole.
I did not pick Goodwin; she is not better qualified. But I do think she will win the primary. White people still make the decisions for us, darker-skinned people.
I recall being lured back to Walmart when it advertised that it would sell primarily American-made products. That didn’t last long. I don’t visit Walmart very often. Prefer to spend my money at places that pay and treat their workers better, such as Cotso and HEB in my area.
The end may be in sight, hopefully we will soon go back to normal in the US of A.
Operation Wetback, did not work the way two leading organization pushing for Mexican-Americans thought it would.
Terry speaks four languages, but very little Spanish. Spanish is the most spoken language in the Americas. Why would Terry think so little about a language that is the second most spoken in the world? Is it the people who speak it that he has problems with?
The killings by ICE have been going on for a long time, how many others have they covered up?
