"[F]irst time the government has ever filed terrorism charges against 'antifa.'"

"[T]his case could shape 'the future of American civil liberties' and set a precedent that results in 'people facing terrorism charges for doing [..] mainstream activism.'"

@shoq I support legislation to return #Texas to #Mexico, if they’d have it.

James Talarico: “The real fight in this country is not left versus right. It is top versus bottom.”

Congrats to everyone in #Texas for having such a nuanced and insightful political candidate for the US Senate in the midterms.

November is coming! ❄️

James Talarico is currently a Texas state house representative. You may have heard his name before bc he was the leading voice against the Fox News fueled hoax that Texas schools were "required to add litter boxes for students who identify as furries".

Talarico was on the right committee at the right time and made the hoax believers pushing anti-litterbox laws look like idoits.

I heard Donald Trump doesn't want anyone to see this interview of a Texas Democrat.

The Trump FCC has threatened every show State Rep. James Talarico goes on and this week it was The Late Show's turn in the hot seat. The FCC forced this interview off the airwaves.

We probably should watch it if Trump hates this politician so much.

So there‘s this interview with James Talarico from #Texas, one that wasn’t allowed to air on TV, and the dude‘s seems to have his heart on the right spot. So if you can vote in Texas, and don’t vote for him I can only assume that your candidate is pretty effin good, or you’re a professionally qualified nut case.
