What starts here changes the world
ALT A meme based on the "Domino Effect" is shown. On the right, a person in a blue shirt is pushing the first, tiny domino in a long sequence of dominoes that grow exponentially in size. The small domino has the caption "Austin passes single-stair reform". The last, largest domino in the distance has the caption "Blexas".

When you listen to James Talarico, you realize that last night's results were not just a rejection of Trump and Israel's Iran war, but also a rejection of a Democratic Party led by people like Biden, Blinken, and Sullivan:
"I've never taken money from AIPAC, and I'm not taking money from AIPAC in this campaign. Seeing what's happening in Gaza makes me sick to my stomach as a teacher, as a Christian, as a human being"
This is his message, and he won in Texas!

A left-NIMBY told me renters keep being renovicted; I asked how he deals with population growth and he said he opposes all developments that aren't affordable so I said it sounds like he’s just renovating old rental homes for rich people and then his tenants union started crying.

Austin has long req’d 25’ of clear fire access, the standard fire code requires 20’. Wider streets encourage dangerous speeds
We need to build fire trucks around the city we want, not build our city around fire trucks

Early voting is open! Go vote now for pro-housing, pro-transit candidates!
Plenty of candidates claim to want an affordable, walkable Austin, but our endorsement goes only to candidates who will actually fight to build the homes and transit needed to make it happen!

The poster features photos of five endorsed candidates against a purple background, labeled as Pro-Housing / Pro-Transit: Amber Goodwin for District 1, José Velásquez for District 3, Ryan Alter for District 5, Selena Xie for District 8, and Zo Qadri for District 9.

Proposition I is a Trojan horse that is campaigning on a (redundant) efficiency audit but is actually a new legal entitlement that allows extremists to hijack the City’s budget. Chaotic and bad for public safety. Analysis:

We want to se affordable mixed use development, but we don’t like projects like Dog’s Head.
That’s why we’re endorsing against the council member who supports affordable mixed use development and voted against Dog’s Head.
@AustinChronicle has done it again!
