@DrZedZha My experience as an elected official/candidate has been mainstream Dr groups do not support Ds or folks that feel healthcare, expanding Medicare, etc, is important. Clearly you do, but as a group they do not. I have thought often that they vote against their own self-interest.

HISD. Well. Indeed. Been mulling over the article from a day or so ago, calling a long list of principals to account. Some of the Districtโ€™s best. Carnegie? DeBakey? Really?? If you were trying to break the largest school district in Texas, this is how you would do itโ€ฆ 1/

Ok. A few notes: Houston is designed to fill w water. Go where you need to be & hunker down. Stay put after you get there. ๐Ÿ’ฆ Itโ€™s not flooding if the streets are full; itโ€™s the designed runoff system doing its job. Itโ€™s flooding if your carpet gets wet. Or your drywall.

I drove through a lot of small Iowa towns this weekend, and one of the unifying threads was the pride folks have in their public schools. Beyond that, the school is often the #1 employer there. With our steady population decline, those schools are vital to these towns surviving.

Itโ€™s not easy, being a Texan. You have to really want it. Canโ€™t take things for granted. Voting rights. Clean, running water. Electricity. Public health. You have to tend yourself when the government is trying to kill you. ๐Ÿคจ

Letโ€™s talk some more: One of the most powerful lessons I ever received was from Bill White, before he was Mayor of Houston. We flew to West Texas w him, I was making small talk, asked him what was the most important thing he learned as the head of the Texas Democratic Party.

Nobody in their right mind can possibly argue this is good for children. Yet again, @GovAbbott is failing Texas children at the behest of non-Texan billionaires seeking to financially benefit from vouchers and ideologues seeking to destroy our democratic institutions. Texans

Lots of folks in prison deserve a second chance. Life is hard & more folks are just one arrest or one errant teen away than youโ€™d think. Buy a copy, follow โฆ @keribla โฉ. Support second chance programs. via @NYTimes

If you vote anywhere in Harris County, you have 3 new elected positions on the HCAD board. EV is going on now, election is Sat May 4. If you are in Houston, unless you are in SD 15, itโ€™s likely the only thing on the ballot. These are at large, you can & should vote for all 3.

@inspiredjen @audendum We spent a weekend in Fredericksburg, Tx years ago & walked around an old cemetery. It was filled w families of children who all died at the same time. One series of headstones was 9 kids who died in a row, starting w the baby. I was quite shocked; it was new to me. No longer.

Soโ€ฆthen stay put. Pull in your trash cans, park your car up, if you can, let the streets do their thing & convey the water to the bayous & away. Folks get into trouble in the dark when they canโ€™t see the depth if the water. The deep underpasses are particularly treacherous.
