@erikgomeztx @salinasforhtx Yeah, so what if you break a few eggs to make a deportation omelette? It’s for our safety! (ICE has killed citizens & violated the shit out of our rights & all to do a piss poor job of carrying out their responsibilities)

@salinasforhtx It’s incredibly sad that locally elected leaders would rather defend and represent illegal aliens over the public safety of their own constituents.

Governor Abbott’s threat to strip $110 million in public safety funding from Houston is an attempt to bully our city for doing what is right, what is legal, and what upholds the Constitution. The premise that Houston must either repeal this ordinance or lose funding is a false choice designed to force compliance through fear. Those are not the only options. Houston has a clear legal path forward. I sent a letter to urge the Mayor and the City Attorney to immediately file a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to prevent the State from withdrawing funds and seek a declaratory judgment affirming that this ordinance is lawful. If we act now and file, the court will issue an opinion as early as today, providing City Council with critical guidance before any rushed decision is made regarding repeal. There is no funding that will be put at risk by seeking this emergency relief ahead of the State’s April 20th deadline. Houstonians deserve a city that will stand up for them, defend its laws, and protect its residents. I respectfully urge the Mayor to take immediate legal action.

@emi_305 @actsmaniac

@actsmaniac shapiro, i like that guy id vote for him and i lean right

If Hungarian leftists can manage to vote for Peter Magyar, then american leftists should also be able to vote for Newsom or Shapiro or whoever

Apparently people are mad HEB is offering halal meats to target a customer base and pricing those meats based on their supplier costs and as it turns out the halal meats are less expensive than the standard meat offering. They think it’s unfair. Just buy the halal meats.

I always see tweets like this and a lot of people with ADHD rightly say this is just their way of conversing/connecting. But as someone with ADHD I want to make it clear when I’m telling a story immediately after yours it’s because I think mine is better and more interesting

@hdhsyevz422181 @PsudoPlays @CryptoGeorgist @Wilson__Valdez He was trying to help Dems. He criticized them because he wants them to beat Republicans!

@coryballs @PsudoPlays @CryptoGeorgist @Wilson__Valdez It really doesn't matter if harris lost because of Hasan or not. The point is Hasan helped trump, even if it ended up not mattering. Telling his audience that wasn't going to vote for Trump not to vote for Trump and never endorsing to vote for harris helps trump

One of my major beefs with Hasan and the people in his orbit is they just say shit. They make zero effort to tie it to reality. This statement does not even slightly square with his actual behavior one bit. We had a chance to crush the fascist Republicans last election. Donald Trump would have finally been held accountable for his crimes. The country would not have embraced fascism. Millions of vulnerable people would not be harmed. And what did Hasan do? He spent all of his time attacking Democrats and demotivating people from voting for the anti-fascist party. And now that the fascist one and we have a "Nazi" President, he wants to say "oh well Democrats are not doing enough to fight the fascists." It's peak gaslighting. People begged him to stop lying about Kamala and Democrats before the election and he refused.

@shadowsmythe @Wilson__Valdez @kai__meadows Check. Mate.

@coryballs @Wilson__Valdez @kai__meadows Your first question was a strawman, so instantly invalid. Try again.

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career. The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams. My "bad days" are his wildest dreams. My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive. It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away

@PsudoPlays @CryptoGeorgist @Wilson__Valdez it's extremely unlikely Hasan "Twitch Streamer" Piker's endorsement and support for Kamala was the linchpin around which the outcome of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin EC votes were determined.

@coryballs @CryptoGeorgist @Wilson__Valdez How so? Every swing and flipped state Trump won was by a less than 2 point margin

@JeremiahDJohns the most tedious shit in a sea of tedium on the hell site, impressive work

There's something missing from the Hasan Piker discourse. Hasan's fans and critics often overlook the most troubling fact about him. The core problem with Hasan Piker is that, on a fundamental level, he doesn't believe in liberal democracy. x.com/CNLiberalism/s…

@allmight2077 @Wilson__Valdez "we had a chance to crush the fascist Republicans" is the key. Hasan's whole deal was begging Democrats to alter course, shift their messaging, target a different demographic than disaffected Rs who were a longshot at best. He was right to do so! Who exactly is ignoring reality?

@coryballs @Wilson__Valdez Everything. Every single thing. Does not have to be an exaggeration He famously did not support Kamala Harris it’s that simple. And not a single person is saying he has no influence To OP’s point… just saying shit and ignoring reality

@Frasier67Blank @AugustCohen4 @treeaston lmao pointing to Bernie as a demonstration of the Dems greater wisdom about how to select candidates & run a campaign, very nice

@coryballs @AugustCohen4 @treeaston Bernie lost twice What lessons has he learnt?

“The Democratic Party is so right wing that Liz Cheney didn’t need to ask Kamala Harris to change her positions in order to endorse her” is something you say after smoking crack.

@Frasier67Blank @AugustCohen4 @treeaston The person who lost their campaign & the leadership that refuses to heed any lessons from that defeat. Oh, & their sycophantic defenders.

@coryballs @AugustCohen4 @treeaston By the sound of it, you are not in the tent And obsessing about 2 events So who is the problem here?

@Legal_Fil Impressive string of inaccuracies & straight up incorrect statements, hope you didn’t sprain your bullshit muscle

Klein's declaration that Piker—an antisemite who also is a racist, defends terrorism, and shocks a dog so that it remains as a prop during his streams—is "not the enemy" was so outrageous that even the Times felt the need to change the title of the op-ed to hide the ball.

Rich nepo baby who wears $1400 dollar glasses and $500+ dollar sweaters to Cuba wants to teach you about class consciousness from a room in his mansion. Please spare me you fake, grifting, old ass queer baiting bitch.

@BasketCasePA @jonfavs this whining bs sucks so hard. His refusal to endorse wasn’t what cost her the election & no matter how much you screech about it you can’t make him responsible. If Dems would spend a fraction of this energy on improving their appeal we might make some progress

This "interview" is absolute trash. @jonfavs not only refuses to challenge Hasan on any of his insane statements, but he let's him get away with saying he is a "lesser evil voter" even though he famously refused to endorse Kamala over Trump in 2024 and still stands by it.

@Abrashke @Wilson__Valdez @kai__meadows Ok Mr Serious, you cut down my rhetorical flourish of exaggerated language & recited a logical fallacy label & still managed to not actually say anything

@coryballs @Wilson__Valdez @kai__meadows The answer is neither. Both options presented in your first question are disingenuous strawmen of positions exaggerated to the point that no one actually would argue one of them alone, let alone together. Because you aren't a serious person.

@JonDillonger @Wilson__Valdez Nope. People frame his refusal to kowtow to Democrats as tacit support for Trump; it’s like screeching for a band-aid when your arm is ripped off & when the dr. insists you need something stronger, you accuse them of murder for refusing to give you a band-aid

@coryballs @Wilson__Valdez Missing the point entirely. If you want to talk about the real reason Harris lost in 2024, that's a different conversation. The post you replied to was just pointing out that Hasan's words and actions in 2024 don't line up with what he's saying now, which is correct.

@CryptoGeorgist @Wilson__Valdez Theoretically, sure. That was not the case in 2024 according to anyone’s analysis

@coryballs @Wilson__Valdez These aren't contradictory? He can represent a low single digit percentage of the electorate, and that can decide close elections.

@GeraldG42 @JonDillonger @Wilson__Valdez “Every vote counts” sounds like a criticism you should direct at a Democratic party that alienates their base and loses 3 ostensibly liberal votes to chase 1 center leaning conservative

@JonDillonger @coryballs @Wilson__Valdez He's partially responsible for people deciding not to vote for Harris and putting us in this mess. Every vote counts.

@JonDillonger @Wilson__Valdez Never said he’s beyond reproach, just saying the ones who ran the losing campaign are ultimately responsible for their loss. And here we are, still dancing around them taking accountability for that loss, go figure

@coryballs @Wilson__Valdez The second one is a pure strawman. Hasan isn't swinging elections one way or the other, but that doesn't mean he's above criticism for saying/doing stupid things.
