  5. #Tesla may finally debut a flying car today, after testing fans’ patience for nearly a decade and…

    "…scheduled a launch event for the Roadster 2.0, an all-electric sports car, to kick off at 8:55 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday. The invite-only event will be held in #Texas and will also be livestreamed, according to the company" but if it's "all-electric" then "possibly equipped with SpaceX thrusters" means, 'kaboom'?

  8. As an individual of varied ancestry (½ Japanese & White) raised in US military household, I have a "bloom where you're planted" sort of mentality. In our kitchen growing up, we had a half-joking wooden wreath that read: "Home is where the Air Force sends us."

    We were constantly meeting people from different walks of life. All of whom were in the same relative situation. It was not uncommon to uproot and relocate to a new school and work environment. Moving across the nation was normal. All told, I went to 5 high schools in 4 years. As a rule of thumb, if a new family moved in their neighbors would make them a casserole.

    As such, it has always perplexed and saddened me when people paint with too broad a brush. Lately, that means backlash against folks who are simply doing their level-best to achieve the American dream of unalienable rights.

    > "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

    Nobody is disputing there are paperwork loopholes to fix in our govt processes. But to assume the worst about anyone simply because of how they look, or where they are from, seems a narrow-minded way of viewing the world.

    Maybe because I am of mixed race myself — and implicitly so are my children (my wife is from Europe) — I am pretty chill about the diversity in Frisco, TX and surrounding areas.

    Anywho. I do not really have some grand takeaway here. Everyone is human. Treat each other accordingly, I suppose.

    😅 Aside: As a soccer dad with a semi-tan complexion and black hair in the DFW area, I occasionally find myself saying…

  10. Okay! We have $479 left to fundraise.

    Breakdown:

    So far, we've received $200 in donations from volunteer members of Space City Medics. <3
    We received $6 through TeePublic earnings via ProgressHive donations.
    The $67.34 taxes & fees will be covered by one of our organizers and was not included on our fundraising request.

    Note:
    ALL EARNINGS from the sale of merchandise at the ProgressHive shop on TeePublic are donated to the grassroots volunteer-led activism and community projects by 50501-Houston, Communities at Work (CAW)-Houston, and HTX Coalition. teepublic.com/user/progresshive So shopping here also helps fund these resources for our actions and skill-share events for the community.

    Thank you

  11. NEW: Since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott first declared an emergency at the border in 2021, he’s renewed or amended the proclamation at least 69 times.

    The proclamation has greatly expanded his powers without going through the state Legislature.

  13. Texas Democrat James Talarico faces grilling from voters at town hall in tight Senate race
    By Ariana Baio and Uwa Ede-Osifo

    Talarico casts himself as a moderate who would put Texans’ needs over party allegiances amid close contest against Republican Ken Paxton

  14. JD Vance couldn't beat James Talarico on the record, so at a Tyler rally he reached for a "totally platonic" gay joke and a wink about Talarico's internet search history. It's the same innuendo he has used since September, and it lands the week before early voting. That's not hardball. It's a whisper campaign with a microphone.

  15. Vance Talarico Smear Shows a Disgusting Campaign Out of Arguments

    The Vance Talarico smear in Tyler swapped arguments for innuendo. It’s an old, ugly tactic, and Texas voters deserve better before early voting starts.
