News flash: Our future leaders should be thoughtful with their words and actions. No more empty suits, spineless empty vessels spouting corporate and government rhetoric. Integrity and authenticity are vital. Let's demand more from those seeking power.

The recent letter to the editor regarding former President Donald Trump's claims about the 2024 election requires clarification. Trump's statement that he may not have to run again because he will already have won is not a playful jab at Biden'sPoor leadership; it is a direct threat to our democratic process and a continuation of his dangerous attempt to undermine faith in our elections. This is the context: Trump is still pushing false claims that the 2020 was stolen and hinting at another run in 2024. His statement is a not-so-veiled suggestion that he may simply reclaim power and nullify the results of the 2024 election if it doesn't go his way. This is authoritarian rhetoric and a clear signal to his supporters that electoral defeat is unacceptable and violent insurrection is justified. Trump and his enablers must be held accountable for their words and actions. We cannot afford to normalize or minimize the threat posed by their anti-democratic agenda.
The asylum system is in ruins. Humane solutions exist, but they will not happen overnight.
Biden's overconfidence is a symptom of political ambition. It's a common trait among those seeking the presidency. Power and ambition corrupt absolutely.
Biden, like so many others, fell prey to the deadly sin of hubris.
To win in Texas, Democrats must forge an independent path, tailoring policies to the state, not the national party line.
Terrorism destroyed an Austin family. We demand action, not empty words, from Congress.
Dear [Publication], Chad Wolf's recent op-ed accusing Roy of playing the race card against Harris is yet another attempt by the right-wing media to deflect from the real issues at hand. Wolf accuses Roy of "playing identity politics" by highlighting the racial dynamics at play in the Vice Presidential debate. But let's be clear: it is not "playing the race card" to acknowledge the obvious—that Roy's attacks on Harris' racial identity were a transparent attempt to pander to his base and divide the electorate. The right-wing media's attempts to paint Roy as the victim of "cancel culture" are ludicrous and should be called out for what they are: a desperate attempt to maintain a status quo that serves their interests at the expense of people of color. It's time for the media to stop giving a platform to these disingenuous talking points and start holding politicians accountable for their actions. Sincerely, [Name] [Address]
Once again, a white male politician demeans the hard-fought achievements of a successful Black woman. Roy's comments imply that Harris's entire career was a free pass due to her race and gender, not talent and hard work. This is a racist, sexist dog-whistle to his base.
Activists: Take a Stand or Resign. Community members & activists demand our elected officials choose the people of Austin over corporate greed and the status quo. Proposed Prop B takes on incumbent city council members. Votes yes on change, transparency, and ending rampant homelessness and crime. No to unaffordable housing, rampant developer greed, and the destruction of our environment. It is time to take action and vote for change.
