As funny as this is, I find it troubling that it's now possible to literally buy shares of a presidential candidate.

The question isn't whether there should be debates. A true debate isn't even possible because Trump is incapable of it. He lies, ridicules, attacks, misuses the forum to promote violence. The only question is whether he should be allowed to appear on a stage with the President.

Houston is being at the playground and within 3 minutes hearing parents speak English, German, Arabic, Spanish and Mandarin to their kids. I ❤️ Houston.

A book is a book.

For years Christian nationalism has been injected into TX politics. The attempts to pass CN policy are now stronger than ever. David R. Brockman (@drdrbrockman.bsky.social) 🇺🇦 writes about it.

I cannot put into words the amount of courage and bravery Justin Jones shows every single day. He is actively working in a legislature that has targeted, harassed, expelled, and demeaned him. But he stays and fights for the people. Truly an American hero of this generation.

I believe I've had a sufficiency of Kennedys.
