Both Lauren Ashley Simmons, who trounced four-term incumbent Shawn Thierry, and Molly Cook, who narrowly beat House Representative Jarvis Johnson, drew upon the community they helped organize to turn out votes leading up to yesterday’s runoff election. It paid off.
Ejemplo curioso de la cultura tejana, supuestamente chicana: “Mexicans and Cappin’". La última palabra es una jerga que podría decir lanzando balas o insultando. Del #Houston de 2002, los tres raperos son Slinkey, Pranksta y Big Deuce. Dan pocas señas de #mexicanidad. No usan casi ninguna palabra española (y claro que nada indígena fuera del título), aunque “varrio,” “locs” y “loced” [loc'ed] aparecen en los nombres de canciones.
Last week, I and millions of #Houston residents experienced a violent up-close demonstration of the damaging winds of a #derecho (pronounced “deh-REY-cho.”)
Luckily, my condominium unit did not sustain any direct damage. However, my wife and I along with our immediate neighbors were trapped until the next morning due to fallen tree limbs blocking our immediate entrance. (See attached photos.) We were also without electrical power until yesterday.
Although power is returning, just eyeballing Houston's temps right now (88F, 66% humidity, 75F dewpoint, 98F heat index) makes me hope all those other folks without power are staying cool. (note: it's May). #Houston#TXwx

I'd bet that a lot of that inefficiency was built in as a precondition of its passage. That's how it works in red states. Let blue islands implement "woke" policies, but only in ways that kneecap them from the beginning, so you can campaign against their "failure" in a few years.
Cycling isn't legitimate transportation...apparently (sh.itjust.works)
