Please read and forward: They're trying to make an example out of us

Our knees do not bend.

John, last week in El Paso, I looked out at a crowd of Texans—organizers, volunteers, neighbors—and I saw something amazing. I saw the real center of power in America. Not the people sitting in the White House. Not the billionaires funding their agenda. Not the Supreme Court justices do…

Ken Paxton. Greg Abbott. Donald Trump.

John, Ken Paxton. Greg Abbott. Donald Trump. Different names, same corrupt playbook. They lie, abuse power, and rig the system to keep it that way. Their goal? Turn Texas into a testing ground for far-right extremism—silencing dissent, stripping away rights, and consolidating power. Bu…

The only way to stop this is to fight back—hard

John, Right now, Texas Republicans are rigging the map. Redistricting is being weaponized to silence voters across our state. It’s not just gerrymandering anymore—it’s a power grab by a party so afraid of democracy, they’ll do anything to destroy it. If we fail—if we don’t win power in t…

"Imprisonment is absolutely necessary" ⬆️ John, that’s a real quote from Texas’ Attorney General Ken Paxton about Beto. ⬆️ Let’s be clear here: Ken Paxton is a corrupt thug. He was indicted for fraud, impeached for bribery, and he abused his power at the expense of everyday Texans. He’s …
