I often get the sense that quite a few people do not actually know what I write about and instead make assumptions about what I must write about based on another set of assumptions about who I must be.

Today marks the 83rd anniversary of the first-ever #SocialSecurity check, and Republicans are celebrating by trying to cut this vital program.

I will keep fighting to protect and expand Social Security benefits for San Antonio's seniors and people with disabilities.

I mean, it's probably not going to be fingernails.

But DeSantis has already very publicly thrown black people in prison over fake voting charges. Later reversed, but that's not the point. He's about to conduct a very cruel and very public purge of New College. He is operating an illegal refugee trafficking scheme, soley for political optics.

His intentional cruelty will only escalate in the coming months.

And watching Floridians tolerate this? Genocide is coming.
