The lashing winds have ceased and the downpours have stopped, but despite Hurricane Ida’s departure from Louisiana, recovery is far away for a state that is no stranger to storms and their aftermath. nyti.ms/2Y25uSv

Readings I thoroughly enjoyed in 2021? From Valeria Luiselli “Tell Me How It Ends” From Courtney Stevens June Boys and from Tui T. Sutherland everything she writes. She’s like an evangelist but speaks through dragons. THANK YOU LADIES!

Texas Governor Greg Abbott - how big is your WAR CHEST now? 54 million? Why do you need a WAR CHEST? Who are you going to WAR against? Just SERVE the people of Texas. I’ll give you some ideas. texasneedsjoy

So, what can Greg Abbott do with $54 million in campaign funds? He doesn’t need it to get media attention. He gets it for free. Why not donate his unused funds to food banks in TX? Gov - you could give ONE MILLION to 54 food banks in the state. But, you won’t. #TexasNeedsJoy

Yaft: During our community meetings on January 29, everything will be in English and Spanish.

“Vengo a pedir ayuda, temo por mi vida”. Es momento en el que la periodista Lourdes Maldonado denunció en una mañanera de AMLO las amenazas que recibía. Hoy, fue asesinada en Tijuana. Segunda periodista asesinada en Tijuana, en menos de una semana.

A Texas GOP operative tells me it's quite possible Gov Greg Abbott's "guarantee the lights will stay on" could be his "read my lips" moment #TxLege

Texans are scared ahead of winter storm Landon. What is Greg Abbott doing? Not assuring us. Not fixing the grid. Blaming others, that’s what. Texans need leaders who will serve them. #Texasneedsjoy I’m ready to serve YOU and put the lives of Texans ahead of corporate interests.
