I’ve done the Austin San Antonio Houston Dallas Triangle so many times this last decade.

Highways are definitely getting busier & busier. Having a high speed rail between the 4 cities would be absolutely incredible.

Call your senators & remind them that Project 2025 has very low approval, even for Republicans & this guy wrote the book. He is not fit nor a safe pick for this appointment.

Headlights have gotten SO bright that I can hardly see at night. I get a migraine every time I drive when it’s dark. What’s with the new trend where raised trucks not only drive with their high beams on even in the daylight, but are now also installing FOG LIGHTS on their bumpers and keeping them on too? 😭

I have had to drive at night with SUNGLASSES on to be able to see a few times this past week. What on earth is happening?

It should be extremely concerning to ALL Americans that our economy is about to be decimated again. I urge people to find and write their representatives in the House and Senate to voice these concerns. Further, I am deeply troubled by the Texas voucher programs. Education has been sliding for 2 decades - ever since charter schools and private schools have been on rapid growth. I’ve been on both side of the fence & have witnessed charter schools use taxpayer money to enrich investors rather than educate students to the highest standards.

He ran away from they hurraince as he was too strong for them as he would have easily shot it away. He also ran away for the freeze as he need to preserve his strength to fight Trump. Even though he lose. He care about us. Like letting us freeze or die of floods is because he need to make Texan be stronger.

Hi guys, I have to go to Dallas for a trade show next month, I want to visit a customer of mine down in Houston while I’m out that way. Would you just rent a car and make the drive or is the quick flight the better option? Thanks in advance for your help.

This is terrifying. Watch the video and read "On Tyranny"

"History does not repeat, but it does instruct. As the Founding Fathers debated our Constitution, they took instruction from the history they knew.Concerned that the democratic republic they envisioned would collapse, they contemplated the descent of ancient democracies and republics into oligarchy and empire. As they knew, Aristotle warned that inequality brought instability, while Plato believed that demagogues exploited free speech to install themselves as tyrants."

Just curious what the thoughts are from this sub on all the various points brought up during the speech and more specifically the emergency items? I wanted to lay it out in a list so people here could discuss any of these items that they wish.

"I regret to inform you that I intend to resign as your Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Thank you for the honor of appointing me as senior ranking officer. The events of the last couple weeks have caused me to do deep soul-searching, and I can no longer faithfully support and execute your orders as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is my belief that you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country. I believe that you have made a concerted effort over time to politicize the United States military. I thought that I could change that. I’ve come to the realization that I cannot, and I need to step aside and let someone else try to do that.

Second, you are using the military to create fear in the minds of the people—and we are trying to protect the American people. I cannot stand idly by and participate in that attack, verbally or otherwise, on the American people. The American people trust their military and they trust us to protect them against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and our military will do just that. We will not turn our back on the American people.

Third, I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States and embodied within that Constitution is the idea that says that all men and women are created equal. All men and women are created equal, no matter who you are, whether you are white or Black, Asian, Indian, no matter the color of your skin, no matter if you’re gay, straight or something in between. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jew, or choose not to believe. None of that matters. It doesn’t matter what country you came from, what your last name is—what matters is we’re Americans. We’re all Americans. That under these colors of red, white, and blue—the colors that my parents fought for in World War II—means something around the world. It’s obvious to me that you don’t think of those colors the same way I do. It’s obvious to me that you don’t hold those values dear and the cause that I serve.

And lastly it is my deeply held belief that you’re ruining the international order, and causing significant damage to our country overseas, that was fought for so hard by the Greatest Generation that they instituted in 1945. Between 1914 and 1945, 150 million people were slaughtered in the conduct of war. They were slaughtered because of tyrannies and dictatorships. That generation, like every generation, has fought against that, has fought against fascism, has fought against Nazism, has fought against extremism. It’s now obvious to me that you don’t understand that world order. You don’t understand what the war was all about. In fact, you subscribe to many of the principles that we fought against. And I cannot be a party to that. It is with deep regret that I hereby submit my letter of resignation.

But instead of resigning, Milley reportedly decided to fight his battle from inside the government, allegedly saying, “If they want to court-martial me, or put me in prison, have at it. But I will fight from the inside.”

Coming out to support our community, regardless of status.

Anyone know where to see live coverage of the protests happening today?
