Texas birthed populism and one of the largest socialist movements in the country. Excited to be reclaiming our radical history in San Antonio with Tom Alter next month!
Grateful that @LeftReckoning had me on to discuss the mayor of Houston, his balancing act with state Republicans and pressure from below, and why the "strong mayor" role in the US's fourth largest city is waning

Beto O'Rourke says on it's 'hard to square' supporting a candidate who won't acknowledge the genocide in Gaza and says AIPAC has become 'a toxic force in our democracy' that shouldn't shape US policy.
(From @LeftReckoning podcast)
Beto O'Rourke tells @LeftReckoning podcast he never hired a pollster in the 2018 Texas Senate campaign:
"When I ran for Senate in '18, we didn't hire a pollster, we never paid for a poll, we didn't look at them. I I never wanted to be constrained by what somebody else would tell me was possible"
Beto joins us to talk about Talarico, the centers war on Zohran and DSA, and whether the TX Dem party is big enough for the pro-Israel lobby. Premiering at 1:30 CT

Greg Abbott wants to have it both ways on data centers. It’s fitting for a governor who sometimes claim to have his hands tied and other times wants to be seen as all powerful. But people are seeing through it
Just recorded a great and open interview with @BetoORourke about winning Texas, immigration, how democrats lost their way, democratic socialism, Gaza and much more - premieres next week on @LeftReckoning
We talked about the pathetic David Pakman whose desire for access has him exposing himself as a total stooge for the right. While Trump ramps up attacks on free speech and democracy David Pakman is happy to answer the call!
Is the problem that we lose it for someone, or is it that our conditions are so precarious that losing it for someone might imply also losing all material safety?
