Texans are ready for a governor who fights for quality health care, combats rising costs, and strengthens public education.

Congratulations, @ginafortexas.bsky.social on becoming the Democratic nominee for governor!

So the Texas Supreme Court just ruled to pause the ruling allowing people to vote in Dallas County. They knew they couldn't beat her so they decided to mess with the votes. This is a preview of what's going to happen in November. Buckle up. Everyone needs to vote early in November.

Polls are shit. Polls said Hillary and Kamala would win but they ask a thousand randos when hundreds of thousands actually vote

We don't need your love. Black votes are currently being disenfranchised. Black votes are being suppressed. Get in the streets.

If you won’t vote for the more qualified Black woman (again) or rise in protest when a state election prevents Black votes from being counted then please, stop shouting ”Queen“ when a Black woman stands up and speaks truth to power because your disloyalty and lack of respect is embarrassing.

This is going to happen in November and will mostly affect Black precincts across the country.

THIS RIGHT HERE! Where are the white allies now that Black people are being prohibited from voting in Dallas County? Where are you voting. Now the Texas Supreme Court has paused the extension. Votes for people who showed up after 7PM are being put aside. WHERE ARE YOU?
BLACK PEOPLE HAVE NO ALLIES!

Any of those big platform “allies” and Talarico supporters speaking out about Texas voting shenanigans affecting Black voters there or nah?

We must understand that Bibi doesn't care about Israel like Trump doesn't care about America. Hamas doesn't care about Palestine like Putin doesn't care about Russia or Ukraine.

It's all about power.

Talarico still leads without Dallas reporting. That will change when Jasmine's home base comes in. #TXsen

Also, we are already seeing the pendulum swing. The middle and high school kids heckling ICE will be old enough to vote before you know it. Maybe if the Democrats would do something to protect those kids NOW instead of letting their future be harvested by billionaires, they could reap those rewards.

If Jasmine Crockett falls short tonight I will still be proud of her but she shouldn’t lift one damn finger to help the “lame white hope.” They showed their asses & deserve nothing but our scorn.

If SCOTUS buys this, over 1.3 million adults, who are children of undocumented parents, would be affected adding to the 13.7 million of unauthorized immigrants creating a massive underclass where both parents are born in the United States but neither citizens with no country to call theirs. #SCOTUS

Charlie Kirk dropped out of community college and then told millions of American youth that higher education is a liberal scam. His banner should NOT be hanging from the Dept of Education right now. Holy fuck

This man barely shows up to do his job and is a constant detriment to his caucus. He has countless medical issues (both physical and mental) that he SHOULD be addressing with professionals. He’s shown his ass many times, so Black folks won’t be voting for him. Not going to happen.

Jasmine Crockett says voters are being turned away and may push to extend voting hours Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico says voters are being turned away amid precinct-specific polling changes and want voting hours extended.

Jasmine Crockett requested for time to be extended for voting. Currently instead of 7pm the deadline to be in line is 9pm. This article was updated.
Folks in El Paso need to be in line by 8pm.

With 31% reporting and large numbers coming in from Talarico's base in Austin and West Texas, he's taken the lead for now.

WHYYYYYY …would any country, group, faction etc trust the United States? Especially when the US just double crossed Iran and left the other Arab countries high and dry?
