For nearly a decade, I’ve fought Greg Abbott in the Texas House over his schemes to hand out no-bid contracts to his donors, attack our public schools, and let big corporations profit at the expense of Texans. I’m never going to stop fighting back.

I’m running for governor.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.

But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

Coates is incredible!

Evil Orc Heart @evanurquhart.bsky.social · Sep 16

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause

By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

"It is past time for both Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to step down and step aside. This fascist moment, this age of Trump, demands outspoken, unrelenting and fearless opposition... we all deserve better."

I make the case, in my latest for The Guardian, for new leadership:

Politics is Culture

The death of conservatism was brought about by the revolutionary upheaval in the media - but the right wing media ecosystem is most to blame for the death of the modern conservative movement

We must hold Republicans accountable for gerrymandering and taking voices of people of color.

For all the complaining in certain circles about how Bluesky is a "bubble," people are really underestimating how quickly it's replacing the progressive blogosphere of 2002-2009. 🧵
