Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.
The historic move of the Dallas #Pride parade to downtown marks a needed and necessary elevation of visibility for the Texas #LGBTQ community, at a time when Republicans are targeting them on multiple levels. Podcast: tinyurl.com/yvz83x8rdallasobserver.com/arts-cult…

I wrote an op-ed about what the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v Callais decision means for you.
The Court just made it easier for politicians to rig maps against Black and brown voters, then hide behind the excuse of “partisan politics.”
And Tarrant County is ground zero.
Tim O’Hare and his allies packed and cracked Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. They closed 125 polling places. They went after my Precinct 2 seat. They tried to redraw power away from the communities that elected me.
They call it “race-neutral.”
I call it what it is: racism dressed up in legal language.
At the center of this fight is a simple question: do you get a voice, or do politicians get to silence you?

They started this fight, and we are gonna win it.

Greg Abbott thinks Texans will keep footing the bill for his grift.
We disagree.
Tonight, during the Spurs-Knicks game, we’re launching our first general election ad—taking aim at the Greg Abbott Corruption Tax.
Watch:
BREAKING: The House just passed a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war.
Both houses of Congress have now passed bipartisan resolutions demanding the war end.
The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, power to declare war.
Trump must end this war now.
Texas is now #1 in the nation....in our rate of uninsured toddlers and infants.
This is a Republican POLICY CHOICE. And it's time to clean house.
