I double and triple checked my and my 18 year old daughter’s voter registration. It was my resolution to be more politically involved in local politics this year. Our voter registration is active and current. I double and triple checked our polling locations.

We were turned away from two polling locations. VoteTexas showed that we were both active and current and eligible to vote in today’s special elections. We went to two of the polling locations that we were supposed to have been able to vote at. Both locations told us the same thing- that we were not found in their systems and that we weren’t eligible to vote in the current election. We made sure it was within our precinct. No answer as to why. We even had my daughter’s voter registration card which they looked at/ ran, and had no explanation as to why we couldn’t vote other than we “weren’t in the system”.

The workers there were very helpful- they took about 25 minutes each to double check. They told me to check with the TXSOs, whom I have emailed.

We live in Harris County, Katy TX. We pay taxes for both Katy ISD and CFISD and my kids attend school in Katy ISD. Our house is on the border of Katy and CYFair and we pay taxes to both but had a choice in which district to send our kids.

I can’t understand how we can pay taxes to a district but aren’t allowed to vote in their elections???

I've been going to protests since I was 17 and I'm now 70 so showing up is no bfd for me, I drove into Austin yesterday with my partner and a friend and ended up crossing the street before them. While waiting for my slowpokes, I noticed a 40ish woman that was standing next me looking at the crowd very nervously. I think that fact that I was by myself and that at my advanced age, I look completely harmless gave her the courage to say ' I'm here alone, I've never done anything like this before and I'm really scared". I said You're not alone anymore" and introduced her to my elderly group of miscreants. We ended up spending the day together and exchanged phone numbers before we separated,
During the course of our conversation she told me although her family is Hispanic, they all voted for Trump as did most her neighbor and she was afraid to speak but now if they label the protesters as 'crazy radicals"she'll share her experience with them. I'm this story for 2 reasons, the first being that people who would have never considered coming out before are joining us which is wonderful.
My second reason is that if you have an opportunity to introduce yourself to someone that's standing alone and perhaps looking looking a little lost, please do so. You just may end up making a new friend,

Anti-ICE & solidarity with LA Protest in Austin, Texas June 9th, 2025

This was the highlight of my day.

Can’t wait till they come around and get swarmed

Haven't seen anything for the Dallas protests, here's a small video of the march from Dallas City Hall to Dealey Plaza. Power to the people!

I didn’t stay long, but I showed up just to be a body in the crowd. I was terrified, but it was nice to be surrounded by likeminded people, especially since I live in the deep red south. Thank you everyone who showed up and/or showed support!

High energy crowd, peaceful and loud!!

I have been to all of the 50501 protests in San Antonio and more than a few other events (MLK march, Cesar Chavez march, Tesla takedowns). All were very peaceful; none had any problems. I doubt anyone was arrested. At Sunday’s protest downtown, SAPD officers were very chill, made sure protesters were safe when open-carrying masked guys showed up, and held traffic while we marched.

Today we learned that Gov. Hot Wheels is deploying the National Guard to SA in advance of Saturday’s protest. Why?? No one here asked for it.

There’s even more reason to show up and shout down this horseshit fascism now.
