Today the John Cornyn Houston Office Protest was out for our 405th week. This was our first time out since the election last week. Above is our team today. We are at 5300 Memorial Dr. each Tuesday from 11:30 to 1. Please join us. Even though the election did not go our way, we did not storm the building where the Cornyn office is located. A few police cars went by. We did not attack them. What a contrast from how Trump partisans handled defeat last time around. We are not going to storm any building or attack anybody. We are not going to do those things even though Senator Cornyn told King Trump the Senate will not be an obstacle or a check and balance on his horrible appointments. Senator Cornyn is content to easily toss away our freedoms and Constitutional protections. Today reports say King Trump wants to set up a panel that would have the capacity to purge generals. The Cornyn Protest will stay on the streets each Tuesday. It's important that people see others like themselves willing to be on the streets. A central premise of the Cornyn Protest is that voting is not enough to keep us safe from the authoritarianism of the right. We've seen nothing of late that contradicts our view. We fully expect our rights will be under constant attack over the next four years. We'll fight back to the best of our abilities. Please consider your role in the fight ahead. I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later on Egberto's YouTube channel. Here is a fundraising pitch for Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways. Please help the effort.
