I've followed @betoorourke.bsky.social for a while. This post is poignant. "If you’ve seen the footage of Pretti’s murder, if you’ve read anything about the man that he was, you know that Bovino, Miller and Noem are lying." open.substack.com/pub/betoorou...

“When we faced this moment of truth, how did we act?
Did we look the other way?
Did we turn a blind eye?
Did we say, ‘Thank God that’s not me or my family’?
Or did we stand up to be counted…?”

So it's legal for Republicans to show up to a Beto O'Roarke rally with loaded Ar-15's and surround a peaceful rally but it's illegal for a Democrat to show up armed at an anti Ice rally and in fact gives reason to shoot to kill him! Makes perfect sense.

Dear Europe,
We understand your fear and frustration at what looks like our acceptance or complacence, even our complicity, in our own undoing and the undoing of the world.
But there is cause for hope and the opportunity to act.

@betoorourke.bsky.social tells Europeans Trump is dragging the US toward authoritarianism, but millions of Americans are organizing, protesting, voting to stop him. He urges Europe: don’t give up on the US—and don’t appease Trump or Putin; hold firm for democracy.

Obsessing over polls won't change things. Action will. It's the antidote to despair, the key to victory, and what Trump fears the most.
So at Powered by People, we're going to keep pushing at all times, on all fronts, wherever we are, with whatever we have, until we win. Join us: PoweredxPeople.org

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.
