A 20-year-old man from El Salvador who says he has permission to work in the U.S. has been released on bond after he was arrested at a Houston-area job site and detained for nearly a month. ICE accuses him of being in the country illegally.
From the @texastribune: Two people have been arrested and charged with performing illegal abortions at a Houston-area health clinic, the first criminal charges brought under the state’s near-total #abortion ban. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-first-abortion-arrests-attorney-general-investigation/
“Friends, we indicated that if we had the House, the Senate and the presidency, there were certain things that we would do. Well in 2021, we had the House, the Senate, and the presidency.”
During his #Austin visit on Wednesday, Congressman Al Green was sharply critical of the failures of the #Democrats and called for mass protest in Washington, D.C. in response to #Trump and #DOGE's attack of vital social services and government agencies. https://austinfreepress.org/no-capitulation/
New today from me at Austin Free Press: Congressman Al Green visited #Austin on Wednesday afternoon, to talk about getting kicked out of the House and censured for protesting Donald #Trump.
He called for millions of people to march on Washington, D.C. to protest cuts to vital services, #DOGE, and our current constitutional crisis. https://austinfreepress.org/no-capitulation/
Yes, there are more important issues unfolding across our nation. (I don't mean March Madness) But how unseemly, that some rich dude in #Texas thinks he can bring an #NHL team to #Houston. No offense to #hockey fans in Houston. I have extended fam in #Minnesota and Texas who follow the #DallasStars - who used to be the Minnesota North Stars. But before any more teams set up shop in the US South, how about restore a team to #Quebec City?

It may be hard to believe based on how consistently #Republicans win in #Texas, but it is the most purple state in the Deep South.
#Houston is an enormous blue dot. Every major city in the state has a #Democratic mayor.
