It's important to read Trump's executive order about compiling lists of eligible voters, messing with the vote-by-mail process & threatening prosecution of local officials. Read it and be able to speak to it.

There is every reason to believe there will be interference in Harris County 2026 elections. I know this order will be challenged in court & we'll see. But the State of Texas will also be attacking us. Greg Abbott has already said that the state should take over Harris County elections.

What state law will John Whitmire cite as making us unable to offer a meaningful reply to election interference from Abbott/Paxton? That's often what he does when he says we can't do anything about at all about ICE in Houston.

Let's continue to organize, connect and show up for ourselves. Let's show each other grace as we each follow the path(s) we see as best to advocate for freedom.

My view is that circumstances will in time compel us to act in unity. There is a lot of trouble ahead.

I'm a rank & file Houstonian. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as staff for multiple campaigns. My work for Democratic campaigns has involved communications and strategy.

I’m an organizer of the Weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. The Cornyn Protest team has been outside Senator Cornyn’s office each Tuesday for eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct.

I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every 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.
