Side note: I heard a couple of hundred people at a beer garden boo a Trump commercial aired during the game. The times they are a changing.

On Bedford Euless Rd off 121, what is this silliness.

Pretty wild times. It's mostly just bored angry old people calling all day

I've been old enough to vote for the last two election cycles and I participated but it always felt like choosing between maintaining the current rate of decline or accelerating it.

After following James Talarico's campaign for a while and doing some research on him, I feel like I unlocked a new emotion. This is the first time in my life that I've felt like my vote has the ability to make a positive change in my life and the lives of the people of texas. Is this what politics used to be like? It's so exciting now. I'm gonna go vote on Friday and I can't wait. I've never felt so hopeful and energized at the thought of participating in an election.

Wondering if any other new voters are experiencing this. The options prior to now have almost exclusively been establishment corporate democrats that will fold to PAC donations or culture war-obsessed republicans that will also fold to PAC donations. Maybe the low voter turnout among gen Z has been at least partially due to a crushing feeling of hopelessness that I didn't even know was there until it was lifted off my chest. I just thought that was normal. It's been that way since I showed up.

Just wanted to talk a bit about it because it's been positive and encouraging for me. Thanks for reading.

Its about that time of Year

Governor Elect Gina Hinojosa and Senator Elect James Talarico celebrate victory at Whataburger.

Tonight, I have never been prouder to be a Texan. We rejected hate, corruption, the Paxton scandals, and the politics of division. But this is only the beginning. We keep building grassroots movements, organizing our communities, and showing up election after election. We are moving toward a Texas where politicians have to WORK to earn our votes, where they listen to the people instead of taking us for granted. The GOP cannot take Texas, or Texans, for granted anymore. Our votes are not guaranteed, our voices are not disposable, and our loyalty belongs to the people of this state, not to any political party. Texas is changing, and we are part of that change. Tonight gives me hope, but tomorrow we get back to work. Proud to be a Texan. Proud to believe in a better Texas.
