Thank you to @atotbinc and @walkrollhouston for inviting me to this morning’s active transportation forum. I enjoyed discussing the ways we can make a Houston a smarter, safer city. As a City Councilmember, I will fight to achieve vision zero and improve public safety for all

The new political map of NYC shows some stark divides: Very wealthy, very white and very Hasidic parts of the city went for Cuomo. Young, Black and Hispanic voters went for Mamdani. But the biggest divide? Transit vs. cars. https://t.co/vKjN2i7JDk

There's a serial killer in Houston and the City should be doing more about it.

The main reason I want to colonize Mars is the lower gravity will allow us to grow pumpkins to grotesque and unthinkable dimensions. 10,000 lb (earth weight) jack-o-lanterns are within reach. Dream big.

The Rainbow Sidewalk in Montrose is the very definition of "Infrastructure for People."

A @METROHouston audit found its micro transit contract with Evolve Houston had rates that were unsupported, unsubstantiated, and outside of the competitive range, but they never told anyone, not even city council? And they’re asking @KenPaxtonTX office to conceal more records.

Eight years ago I wrote a piece that went semi-viral (for me) arguing that the US was becoming a third-world nation (think Brazil, Venezuela, or Nigeria), a part of the world I was very familiar with. I charted a four-stage sequence of dysfunction that defined the politics and

City Hall is spending over 100% of project costs to rip up safe infrastructure, planting lobbyists in between community and TIRZ boards, fabricating reasons to the public for their infrastructure decisions, and appointing people without degrees in their fields to make it happen.

Dear Houston, We are capable of so much more than the short-sighted path being taken by City Hall's top brass. I'm running for City Council to lead our city into a different future.

thanks for nothing, Mayor Whitmire
Yesterday the Harrisburg Redevelopment Authority (TIRZ23) delayed voting on a telephone road project that the mayor's office redesigned that stripped it of a center turn lane, bike lanes, and other pedestrian safety infrastructure https://t.co/4OHJU1Qirv via @houstonchron

TxDOT displaced 160 homes, 433 apartments, 486 public housing units, 5 churches, and 344 businesses in Downtown Houston, costing up to $310M in annual tax revenue, for a $1.1 BILLION-per-mile highway expansion. But somehow, the U.S. “can’t afford” trains?

You're a Houstonian the moment you claim it. That's it. That's all it takes. Because you gotta want to be here to be here. There are other places people go because of the place - the verdant mountains, the tranquil lakes with cool water, the white sand beaches...

Can’t believe I’m rooting on, Tucker Carlson?
Turns out the @TuckerCarlson interview of @tedcruz gets WAY nastier. Tucker “it's interesting that you’re trying to derail my questions by calling me an antisemite…and rather than be honorable enough to say it right to my face you are in a sleazy, feline way implying it”

Selling the largest chunk of public land in modern history for 5 billion is the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals
