Ambassador Arthur Louis Schechter always treated me and others so kindly. I have so many fond memories of him. Always seemed ready with the biggest smile whenever he locked eyes with you.  Always took my call when I needed something. What a kind man. RIP

Trump announced he is going to start putting his name on money because… of course he is.

1st Nick & now Audrey w/ shameful misdirects. Vote for Patrick Oathout. She has already taken down her original post.

Patrick Oathout is worthy of your consideration. Excellent candidate.

Patrick Oathout, a gay candidate with deep roots in District C, is seeking the open Houston City Council seat in the upcoming special election. The Houston native says his experiences growing up in the district and coming out as a teenager shaped his commitment to inclusive leadership. If elected, he would become the third openly LGBTQ member of the City Council. Link in comments.

Rep. Al Green is seen here speaking truth to power. What do you see the woman behind him doing?

U.S. Rep. Al Green was removed from the House Chamber just minutes into President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech to Congress — the second year in a row the Houston Democrat was ejected.

As Trump began his speech, Green held up an apparently hand-written sign reading "Black people aren't apes!" He was swiftly escorted out of the chamber.

In an interview outside the House chamber, Green said he didn't think the president had "really received the message" about a video he posted on social media earlier this month that portrayed former President Barack Obama and the former first lady Michelle Obama as apes.

"He seems to think he can do these dastardly things with impunity," Green said. "Tonight I wanted to have a person confront him and let him know that black people aren't apes, that black people aren't going to tolerate this sort of behavior."

"Perfidy" is a war crime because it deliberately abuses the trust and protections afforded by International Humanitarian Law (IHL), such as feigning civilian status, injury, or surrender, to betray an enemy's confidence, causing them to lower their guard, leading to death, injury, or capture, thereby eroding the rules meant to protect everyone and making conflict more savage. It undermines the fundamental distinction between combatants and civilians, blurring lines and increasing risks for non-combatants and surrendering soldiers.

Question is ... whether or not anyone anywhere will hold Republicans accountable.

Join Rep. Al Green tomorrow night.
