Against the backdrop of ongoing conversations about police funding in Austin and the rest of the country, the topic has become the biggest talking point in the final days.
as “along the lines of taking a position of defunding the police.” He and other state Republicans have sought to paint her as an opponent of law enforcement.While Peoples’ campaign platform calls for reallocation of funds from law enforcement to community policing initiatives, she has eschewed the term “defund the police.”
Peoples, who has stressed racial inclusion as part of her platform, has referred to herself as a “progressive change-maker.”
You obviously don't know Fort Worth, Politico 🤣
You were wrong
Nope. Fort Worth will always remain Republican. We still have Carswell AFB and oil barrons in FuNkYToWN
All those shithole failures rest squarely on the shoulders of the collectivists.
Now let's make GOP politicians extinct on other county levels, state and congressional as well.
If a mayor's interest does not represent the needs of the ppl within that city they don't deserve to work in that capacity.
🤦♂️ because cities like Chicago, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Detroit, etc etc, are run so well. Said no one ever with a brain
Too bad they’re not yet extinct in State & National level Politics!! EVERYONE should ensure they do whatever is required…no matter the difficulty or inconvenience, to make sure they vote to GET RID of RepubliKLANs across the board! In spite of them trying to FIX the elections!
Republican is a brand that is getting close to extinction.
Have they tried having a less utterly toxic brand

Texas high school valedictorian switches speech to speak out on state's abortion law'I cannot give up this platform to promote complacency and peace, when there is a war on my body and a war on my rights.' This valedictorian gave a different graduation speech than the one her school approved to stand against an abortion law in Texas. Still trying to figure why abortion is anyone’s decision except the woman who is making it. 2021 and people still can’t mind their own business !!! Her parents and educators should be in prisons for this brainwashing. Sad that she has been raised to believe she can have unprotected sex with out consequences...she can just murder the baby and move on without ever having any personal responsibility! Delusional drivel.

Abbott. According to a Google search about the John Birch Society, Texas has a lot of members. Thought it had died out. Apparently not. Was given literature by a landlord in the 60's. Thought it was silly stuff then. Now I'm not so sure how it's evolved. But some GOP talking points......
