Do Houston No Kings protesters 'hate America'? What they said. | Editorial More than 1,000 No Kings protesters showed up in Cypress, Texas. We asked them if they 'hate America,' as House Speaker Mike Johnson claims? The flag-waiving patriots gave us a resounding 'no.'

We asked Cypress No Kings protesters if they 'hate America.' Here's what they said. | Editorial www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/edit...

“…run by volunteers who care about our country. They block walk, write postcards to voters and hold meetings. Maybe that is what counts as dangerous radicalism in the eyes of enraged partisans who are told repeatedly that opposition to fascism and authoritarianism is actually a threat.”

Yes! From the first #NoKings protest in #Houston.

Where were Whitmire's city budget concerns when he gave HPD a raise? "These expenses were quickly absorbed under this administration. Maybe our mayor can ask the bloated firefighters’ pension managers for a loan?" asks Jeff Tzetzo.

Stay in your lane, Abbott. Rainbow crosswalk is a part of Houston history. A former Houston City Council member defends the Montrose Pride crosswalks, saying the city — not Gov. Abbott or Donald Trump — should decide how Houston’s streets are painted.

Great chat with @evan7257.bsky.social. I learned 17 new things!!

'Trust' isn't a budget strategy, Mayor Whitmire. Houston needs new revenue. Houston's $227 million deficit requires bold leadership to fix. When will Mayor Whitmire build a case for raising taxes and fees to generate sustainable revenue?

Mayor Whitmire, stop punting on Houston's budget mess | Editorial www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/edit...

“A judicial order lays clear that local law enforcement have matters under control, and that sending in the Texas National Guard only adds fuel to the fire.”

“She also points out that the Trump administration brazenly described constitutionally protected behaviors as illegal violence, and baselessly claimed there was some larger organization coordinating the few criminal acts that did happen.”

As Texans watch cities wipe away our Pride sidewalks under threat of funding revocation from Gov. Greg Abbott, this project feels even more important. Help us write about queer Texans. Because we’re actually the normal ones. And this is our state too.
