That is a beautiful song and video. Thanks for sharing. Lyrics gave me the same feeling I got first time I heard "Do You Realize?" Life itself is inevitably bittersweet, so I always find that the most touching songs are bittersweet as well.

Can we be more accurate and say "the financial backing of oligarchs and right-wing theocrats" instead of "war chest"?

Let's be clear. Texas is pretty much everything, so folks can always cherry pick to fit their agenda. That said, our current elected GOP leaders are truly despicable.

They're trying to turn him into the MLK of the right. Only problem is that he was trying to return us to an age of oppression and discrimination, not lead us to freedom.

McCaul was my rep at times. One of those who definitely knew better but wouldn't muster the courage to speak truth and do what was right. So ultimately just another GOP coward who enabled cruelty, corruption, and the weakening of our nation's status in the world.

Are we kidding? Anyone in Texas wondering "why" about the gerrymandering hasn't been paying attention. It's a racist power grab by a state GOP that has chosen Trump/MAGA over Texas. In football terms (for Gov Abbott), we're letting the coach of the other cheating team call our plays. SAD.

Spurs. Military. Tourism. HEB. USAA. Puffy tacos. And unlike the Metroplex, they have a cultura. Most importantly, they're home to this Austinite's favorite coffee: Merit. Love SA.
