Film Review: 501 Not Out — The Definitive Tribute to Brian Lara’s Brilliance Every so often, a sports documentary comes along that just nails it — the emotion, the nostalgia, the legacy. Sam Lockyer’s 501 Not Out is exactly that. As a massive Brian Lara fan — my favourite cricketer of all time from a batting perspective — this film completely blew me away. Lockyer has poured an unbelievable amount of effort into this. The research, the detail, the people he’s managed to bring together — it shows in every frame. The interviews alone are world-class: Alan Donald, Curtly Ambrose, and so many other legends of the game offering real insight into Lara’s genius. It's not easy to get that calibre of cricket royalty together, but Lockyer’s pulled it off. The biopic element really captures just how far ahead of the game Lara was, even as a teenager. I didn’t realise he was that talented at football — best mates with Dwight Yorke, scoring overhead kicks for fun — he genuinely could’ve gone pro. That natural sporting ability just underlines how special he was. One thing that really stuck with me was the emotional side of Lara’s story. I never knew his father passed away before he made his Test debut. That’s the kind of detail that adds real depth and reminds you that behind the records and headlines, there’s personal pain and sacrifice. The film had some proper nostalgia moments too — the old-school cricket video games! As someone who spent hours glued to those games trying to recreate Lara’s iconic innings, that was a class touch. As a Birmingham-born lad, Warwickshire cricket has always played a huge part in my family life. I live round the corner, I grew up idolising Lara, especially watching him at Edgbaston for Warwickshire. For people like me, who saw him light up the domestic game as well as the international stage, this film hits different. The Warwickshire fans featured throughout bring humour, heart, and authenticity. Their love for Lara reflects exactly how we all felt growing up watching him — pure excitement and pride every time he walked to the crease. 501 Not Out is simply world-class. Sam Lockyer has proven himself a ridiculously talented filmmaker with a real gift for storytelling. He’s captured Lara’s impact perfectly — not just the stats, but the culture, the emotion, the magic. Rating: 10/10. This deserves to be on Netflix, Amazon Prime, all the major platforms. For cricket fans — especially those of us lucky enough to see Lara play for Warwickshire — it’s unmissable. 501 Not Out Iconic Productions

If we have yet to see a photo of Lance in a full-blown fursuit, why is he being referred to as a furry? Furthermore, why a "trans furry"? That term has been used so much that it's right up there with the usage of "grieving widow" 😒. What Lance is actually pictured wearing (in that one photo they keep circulating of him) is a kigurumi which happens to be a loose character onesie. Yes, some kigurumi are full mascot-style, but the overwhelming majority is comfort loungewear your niece owns in a Pikachu print. A fursuit is custom-built, plush, and represents an original "fursona." A full-fledged furry isn't calling themselves a furry while wearing a kigurumi. And for the record: not all furries, or kigurumi wearers, are LGBTQ+, though research shows many are. Slapping "trans furry" onto someone based on loungewear photos isn't identifying a pattern. It's inventing one. Also, where is the proof that Lance is transitioning? Has anyone seen evidence of this? Just curious. Like I said before, perhaps he's gay but that wouldn't have the same impact among conservatives as does labeling him as "trans". Did they think that people would just see that one photo of him in the onesie and say "yup, he's soooo trans that guy 👀." We all know that when an unverified label is released by the media, it doesn't stay contained. Once it's attached, it becomes the lens everything else gets filtered through. Sources start looking for things that confirm it instead of testing it & every downstream report inherits the error. We've seen this over & over. A label is supposed to be traceable back to verified fact. "Someone online said it" isn't a source. Mislabeling someone's hobby or identity isn't neutral. It reshapes public perception in ways that are extremely hard to walk back, even after a correction. The correction never travels as far as the original claim did. This was intentional, but sloppy (as I mentioned before). Also remember that they are doing this because they are hiding something bigger from us. Additionally, someone pointed out to me that just two weeks before Charlie was "deleted", there was another case involving a trans furry in Minneapolis. I might have heard this months ago & completely forgot about it, but it's worth mentioning it again. Robin Westman (who media outlets reported as trans & who had an ex-girlfriend who was a furry) killed 2 children & injured 17 adults at a Catholic Church. Robin then died from a self-inflicted wound. Some media outlets like CNN reported that anti-semitic messages were scrawled on the weapons. Interesting. 🤔 Question: What proof do we have that Robin died from a self-inflicted wound? I'm asking because it has been speculated that that is how Tyler Robinson was "expected" to go out, but we all know that it didn't play out that way. And now we recently learned that Charlie's medical examiner's wife is a furry with some very strange interests. Just when you think that things can’t get any weirder 🫪. I don't know that we will ever learn the whole truth about what truly happened to Charlie, but at least we know that we are being lied to & they know we know. Keep applying pressure. Don't let them silence us. (Thank you for your comment Fiona Nunya 🌷)

The Roki Sasaki situation is complicated, and it's not as simple as making it black and white. Sasaki, unquestionably, has NOT performed well enough as a starter to deserve a spot in the opening day rotation. But, he was KEY in the World Series title last year, AND, he took WAY less money to join the Dodgers. He did that because he believed in the Dodgers' developmental system, and he felt as if he could grow the most under the Dodgers instruction. He also wanted to play with Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Beyond that, I'm sure, as part of the sales pitch, the Dodgers assured him a spot in the rotation, because they were the only organization that could "logistically" implement a 6-man rotation. They can do that because Ohtani is a 2-way player, so, in essence, they can have 14 pitchers. So, to get Sasaki to sign, especially considering he was signing early, and thus, had to sign a Minor League contract, their HAD to be promises made. One could assume the Dodgers assured him a spot in the rotation, and, more importantly, a role as a starter. And, you have to understand, one of the secret sauces for the Dodgers with Free Agents is that they have developed a remarkable reputation for delivering on the promises they make. That alone is a MAJOR factor as to why the Dodgers are THE destination for Free Agents. And the ability to acquire the CORRECT Free Agents can NOT be understated as to the impact it's made in creating this dynasty. So, to move Sasaki either to the pen or to AAA, they would have to back out on a promise made, and one that was instrumental in his signing with the Dodgers instead of the Padres or any other organization. It's truly a "rock and a hard place" because you have everyone else on the "merit system" and pitchers being sent to OKC that deserve better, meanwhile, Sasaki is getting preferential treatment. Then, on top of all that, one of the LARGEST parts of this dynasty construction has been capturing the Asian market, specifically the Japanese market. The Dodgers have done such great work capturing that audience, and because of it, they are swimming in both money AND championships. It's been a 100% Win/Win, and surely NO ONE would want to upset that Apple Cart. Especially over a 6th starter, who has potential, as he showed in the playoffs last year? And on a team that could win 100+ games and win the Division by double digits? Even if he doesn't pitch well! Even if he pitches well in just 1/2 his outings, the Dodgers might win 110ish games if everything else plays out the way it should. That's the "rock and a hard place" that I see, and I can see both sides of it. For me, it just kind of "Is What It Is, and I trust the Front Office to massage this situation in a way that works for everyone in the long run. #dodgers

BAN HQ Medical Committee presents Diabetic Awareness - World Diabetes Day 2024. World Diabetes Day is observed every year on November 14th, marking an important opportunity to raise awareness about diabetes and advocate for better prevention, diagnosis, and management of the disease. The day became an official United Nations (UN) day in 2006. This year’s theme, "Access to Diabetes Education," underscores the need for better information and resources to help prevent and manage diabetes effectively. The Medical Team of Brothers across Nigeria (BAN) worldwide is proud to recognize World Diabetes Day by supporting the established framework for diabetes education, which includes: 1. Learning and Knowledge Sharing. 2. Prevention. 3. Identification and Treatment. UNDERSTANDING DIABETES Diabetes is a disease that results from excess sugar in the blood, causing serious health problems over time. The Types of Diabetes: 1. Type 2 Diabetes: The most common form, accounting for about 90% of cases. It occurs when the body doesn’t use insulin effectively or doesn’t produce enough. 2. Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition, usually diagnosed in childhood, where the body cannot produce insulin. 3. Gestational Diabetes: Occurs during pregnancy and usually goes away after childbirth, but it increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. 4. Prediabetes: A condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes. 1 in 3 adults has prediabetes, highlighting the need for early intervention and lifestyle changes. SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES The symptoms of diabetes vary, and some people (especially those with prediabetes, gestational diabetes, or type 2 diabetes) may not experience symptoms at all. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms usually appear quickly and are more severe. Common symptoms include: I. Increased thirst or urination II.Fatigue III. Blurry vision IV. Slow-healing sores or infections RISK FACTORS A variety of factors contribute to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, including: Age and genetics, Lifestyle factors:, poor diet, lack of physical activity, and smoking increase the likelihood of developing diabetes. Social factors: Access to healthy food, healthcare, and safe spaces for exercise also play a significant role in managing and preventing diabetes. Race and Ethnicity: People from certain racial or ethnic backgrounds, including Black, Hispanic, American Indian, and Asian American populations, are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes. Discrimination and stigma: These factors can exacerbate the challenges faced by marginalized communities in managing diabetes. COMPLICATIONS When diabetes is not properly controlled, it can cause serious and even life-threatening complications, including Heart disease and strokes, Nerve damage (neuropathy), Kidney damage, Eye problems, Foot issues, Skin and mouth infections, Hearing loss, Memory issues, Depression and Anxiety. PREVENTION Preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes is possible through early lifestyle changes. The following strategies can help reduce the risk of developing diabetes: 1. Eat a Healthy Diet 2. Get Active 3. Maintain a Healthy Weight 4. Quit Smoking 5. Limit Alcohol Intake 6. Get Regular Checkups 7. Manage Stress 8. Sleep Well CONCLUSION World Diabetes Day is an important reminder of the growing global impact of diabetes and the urgent need for education, awareness, and action. This year’s theme highlights the critical need for better information and resources to prevent and manage the disease. By focusing on education, early detection, and lifestyle changes, we can work together to reduce the burden of diabetes and create a healthier future for all. #BANWorldwide, #BrothersAcrossNigeria #WorldDiabetesDay, #WDD2024, #DiabetesAwareness, #KnowYourNumbers, #DiabetesPrevention, #14November, #AccesstoDiabetesCare

I just saw a post yesterday about protecting me but it eluded me before I could re-post it. I am not vain, I do not blow my trumpets even in competitions! I just move in my aura of grace. I am a #Virgo, a #FullMoonVirgo, and one of the powerful #Empaths you will ever encounter. I am that woman who walks into a room and every unconscious mind becomes conscious. The unconscious morons should study on the above hashtags first. Then I will go ahead to outline what my 'personalities' are about and who I am. They will write a full book on just one personality. My academic background and what I have achieved in my career journey over the years is not for show off. The things I do in my day to day life despite the challenges of not having my husband helping out in the family front, is what makes me a #Warrior. I work hard so I can look after widows and helpless children. I run an educational charity in the Sub-Sahara Africa for pupils from Nursery 1 - Primary 6 from my light-weight personal purse. Everyday, I lift one or two people out from a place of pain, oppression, darkness and confusion through coaching and guidance. People learn consciousness and #ArtofLiving from me, everyday. Thank you my brother for that post and thank you all for standing by me. That's the love you have for #NnamdiKanu. All my life, I've always fought for the oppressed & for myself. I am what 'you know as one man squad' - physically, psychologically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I fight for the oppressed women, men, and children especially. And all my life, no individual has ever fought me without gathering a group. Some would bring their cousins, their ancestors, even their own enemies to fight me yet, Uchechigeme Anyanwụụtụtụ Okwu-Kanu has always stood tall in the presence of her enemies!

[KimSungSooTV] Misunderstandings and Truths About K-pop Demon Hunters!! What Should We Invest In Under the Changing Environment? Kim Sung-soo (current affairs and culture critic) and Kim Heon-sik (popular culture critic.) Praising K-DNA is just nationalistic hype (국뽕)? – An important case study analyzing the current state of industries related to K-DNA. Kim Heon-sik: No, that’s not it. Yes, so let me explain why the concept of “nationalistic pop” (국봉) came about. It was during the military regime that this idea was artificially pushed—basically to promote their own authority and propaganda. For example, under Park Chung-hee’s rule, there were forced attempts to instill pride in Korea through cultural support. But the truth is, there were also misunderstandings about Hallyu (the Korean Wave). For instance, I know someone who mistakenly presented this idea together with American scholars, and those papers are still circulating today. They argue that Hallyu was created by government support. And this keeps spreading overseas. So, people who study these things in an elite, academic context think they’re playing a decisive role—but the reality is, K-pop and K-content came about naturally as part of the market, in the private sector. To put it simply: it was made by fans. Fans created it. Fans are the most important part. As long as fans remain at the center, artists can keep creating content that fits the global environment. I’ve been asked the same question for 25 years: “How long will Hallyu last?” My answer is always that it’s not something forced or controlled from the top. It’s a cultural product born out of cultural democracy, with fans at the center. That’s why it has naturally earned respect. So to call it 국봉 (nationalistic pop)? That’s just not right. Then by that logic, is Britpop “nationalistic pop”? Honestly, what frustrates me is that people keep asking me questions like that… Kim Sung-soo: There were people who kept throwing questions at me and leaving nasty comments like that. Since I’ve been consistently defending NewJeans on broadcasts, they’d say things like, “Well, once NewJeans fades from memory, that’s it. That’s how pop culture works. Once they’re out of sight, they’re gone.” And they were saying that right in front of a cultural critic. Unbelievable. But look at reality now. Has NewJeans disappeared? No. The thirst for them has only grown stronger. Can a single capitalist suppress the massive yearning of so many fans? They can’t. It’s impossible. People still love The Beatles even now. Kim Heon-sik: Of course—that’s cultural DNA carrying on. Kim Sung-soo: If those people were right, The Beatles should have been forgotten long ago. Kim Heon-sik: But that’s just talking about the physical body. Cultural and artistic DNA endures, and NewJeans’ DNA is no different. Kim Sung-soo: NewJeans is a group that has completely changed the paradigm of Korean girl groups. If there are cultural critics who refuse to acknowledge that, you can just ignore them. Because before NewJeans, K-pop’s peak was defined by groups like KDH (K-pop Demon Hunters) and BLACKPINK, and even aespa can be counted at that summit. Idols used to be constructed as characters, tied to a fixed worldview and narrative, constantly producing music to match those characters. But NewJeans isn’t like that. They don’t come with a pre-packaged storyline. Instead, they build their stories out of everyday life. They’re lively, witty, talented teenagers you could easily find around you. So how can they be idols? Because in a prosumer society, if people around them think, “They’re cool,” society elevates them into idols. And that’s why those kinds of idols actually last longer—they were created by us, they resemble us, and they share our era. That’s why we can stay connected to them for longer. If idols are constructed as aliens or supernatural beings, eventually that feels unnatural. Kim Heon-sik: Ah, that connects back to what we could call the original SM model of K-pop. Idols who looked almost inhuman, like beings from the East, like gods, or like aespa—giving the feeling of aliens, even physically. That model still has its place, but it no longer dominates. New generations—especially Gen Alpha and Gen Z—align much more closely with the NewJeans paradigm. Now, if we connect this to the whole nationalistic hype (국뽕) debate: the funny thing is that there are actually more people overseas than in Korea who show respect (respec) for this culture. If it were just “nationalistic hype,” why would foreigners, who have no stake in Korean nationalism, be showing it? That would be contradictory, right? Kim Sung-soo: So, to put it simply, KDH (K-pop Demon Hunters) is an incredibly important case. It re-illuminates the cultural value we’re enjoying right now and proves just how many industries are possible under “K-DNA.” At the core of this, again, are the consumers — the fans. For example, from what I know, KDH was practically the only Netflix title that hit it big with almost no marketing. Kim Heon-sik: I’ll be honest: when they first announced it back in 2021 as a theatrical anime called K-pop Demon Hunters, and then no news followed, I thought it would be a flop. They barely promoted it, so I figured it wasn’t worth watching. But then, when it suddenly dropped in June, my phone was blowing up with messages, and I thought, “Fine, I’ll check it out.” And after watching — wow. It was a revolution. It was so well-made, completely unexpected. After that, a lot of things happened. Kim Sung-soo: In my case, I really felt how cut off from reality I’d become because of being blacklisted. Journalists only ever called me to talk about Korean dramas, never about K-pop or popular culture. It’s like the mainstream had erased my name. Nobody reached out to me about KDH (K-pop Demon Hunters). Then one day, my son just came out for dinner, turned on the TV, and started watching it. I knew the series had been released, but honestly, I thought, “That’s going to be a flop.” Still, since my son was watching, I sat with him. Eventually, he went back to his room to play games, but I stayed behind and watched until the end — then I even rewatched it by myself. I got choked up. That’s the kind of emotional impact it had. Kim Heon-sik: Even among my friends, I hear the same thing. Their kids enjoyed it so much, but when they themselves watched, they found it deeply moving too. That doesn’t mean the show itself is childish — it’s just that if you’re not usually paying attention, you won’t catch its layers. There’s a certain depth to it. Once you understand the broader context, it really clicks. Kim Sung-soo: K-pop, in fact, is a unique global genre. Yes, it was initially planned by producers, but it quickly grew beyond their control — maybe the first genre ever to do so. Kim Heon-sik: Today, it’s almost a living organism, self-sustaining. That’s why it’s dangerous to analyze it only from a producer’s perspective. When people say, “K-pop has problems,” yes, but the real issue lies with the capitalists — the management — not the artists or the content. That’s why now, more than ever, it’s important to support groups like NewJeans and works like KDH — they represent the healthier, fan-centered side of the culture. And KDH has something that speaks to all ages. Take Golden, sung by Huntrix — it reflects modern psychology precisely. Look at BTS’s message of “Love Yourself.” That’s not just a slogan; it’s rooted in psychology. Since the Renaissance, humans have emphasized the importance of selfhood. If you can’t love yourself, you can’t love others. If you love yourself, then you can love others, and from there you can love community, society, even humanity. Golden carries that exact same message. That’s why people who feel powerless or invisible in real life find healing through this work. Content like this isn’t just entertainment; it’s therapeutic. That’s why I don’t want people to see K-pop simply as “ours” or as nationalistic pride. At its core, cultural content is about healing, and that’s the perspective we need to adopt. Kim Sung-soo: For example — yes, spoiler here — Jinu could sacrifice himself in place of Rumi because he had already answered her question. Someone who doesn’t love themselves cannot sacrifice for another. Only someone who has achieved self-love can give themselves up. That’s why that scene hits so hard, especially for Western audiences. Sacrifice alone doesn’t move people; sacrifice rooted in self-understanding and love does. I even cried when Bada covered Golden ( At the end of her cover video, she says, “The person who wrote this really knows what despair is.” That’s why she cried too. And it’s the same for so many artists — S.E.S, Fin.K.L, and others — who endured hardships and pain yet remained. We shouldn’t objectify them just because they’re celebrities. Instead, we should recognize how the culture we share operates and heals us through those mechanisms. Kim Heon-sik: If I were to sum up K-pop’s worldview and identity: it’s centered on youth. It reflects their struggles and anxieties. Everyone was young once, and those feelings never completely disappear. Growth is key — growth through pain, through shortcomings, through personal and social struggles. Overcoming them and offering hope — that’s what K-pop tries to do. It doesn’t pretend the world is perfect; it says, “We can endure, and we can move forward together.” That’s why values like “we” and “togetherness” are always emphasized. So when music and content are created with that worldview — youth, growth, struggle, shared hope — that’s what makes it K-content, K-pop. It transcends nationality or ownership. It’s about establishing the identity of our content for what it is. Kim Sung-soo: Honestly, I hope these perspectives even reach our president. Kim Heon-sik: I was surprised when President Lee Jae-myung, unlike President Yoon’s administration which rushed to meet Netflix executives, instead chose to meet artists. The result of the meeting isn’t what matters — the signal it sends is. That’s the kind of precedent I hope continues. Kim Sung-soo: Our president must invest in people. Investments elsewhere are meaningless if not centered on people. Yet right now, there’s so little support for artists. So I’ll end with this: KDH is not “국뽕” (cheap nationalism). KDH is the culture itself — the culture we’re living and enjoying today. Watch the full video:

The District Attorney race in Travis County/Greater Austin is among the most important this cycle. Everyone able should vote by March 5th. Watch this video and read the following to understand why – and share with others. I don’t like to get directly involved in politics, and prefer to stick to building social enterprises that bring people together (i.e., KIND Snacks, Builders, SOMOS Foods, Empatico ), but the stakes are so high for Austin that I feel the need to share some facts: Austin is facing a rampant rise in crime. All the data demonstrates it. And all of Jose Garza’s policies point to it. Some specific examples: • Garza let Santos Celso-Flores, who was awaiting trial for participating in the gang rape of 13-year-old girl, out on a $40 bond. While out on bond, Celso-Flores molested two more young girls. • Hilario Adrian’s bond was lowered to just $1 after Garza failed to bring his aggravated assault case to a grand jury in time. Shortly after his release, he brutally attacked an innocent bystander in downtown Austin, stabbing him to death. • Richard Williams brutally raped his ex-girlfriend at knifepoint for two hours while strangling and beating her. Garza cut a deferred adjudication plea deal with Williams, meaning he was released after just 90 days in prison without anything on his record. • Garza released Dedreuain Reese, who had been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for pistol-whipping a woman, on a personal recognizance bond. Just weeks after he was released on bond, Reese committed a murder at the same house where he pistol whipped the woman. Friends have been telling me about the rise in crime in Austin. A family who lived downtown had their home burglarized. Another was held up. A friend who leads the Public Safety Commission shared the above examples. I assumed these were isolated cases and initially dismissed the issue. Eventually I did dozens of hours of research. The data is staggering: • 127% increase in the murder rate since Garza took over! • Car jackings more than doubled! • Convictions are down 61%! • Zero Jury Trials by Garza since he took over as DA! How is Garza responsible for this? Some examples: • When he took office, Garza abolished the DA division that sorted out cases. As a result, today there are over seven thousand unindicted felony crimes! Not 7. Not 70. Not 700. Seven THOUSAND pending cases that the DA’s office has failed to process. • In 2021, Garza released a bail reform plan that explicitly included releasing people on bail for just $1. Since then, Travis County has been plagued by crimes committed by people out on bonds. • Over 75 (out of a professional staff of around 95) experienced prosecutors have left the DA's Office since Garza took over in 2021. He has hired inexperienced and untested lawyers to handle the most serious and complicated cases in Travis County. • Here is testimony from a Mother whose children were sexually assaulted: These are not theoretical issues. And the people they affect are the most vulnerable members of our society. • Lynn Isaak survived a brutal attack while running in Travis Heights. She solved her own case through Nextdoor, trusted the DA's Office with the prosecution, and was then shocked when her attacker got probation with no jail time and no electronic monitoring. • Lashonda Lemons was beaten so badly by her partner that she lost her baby. The DA's Office got the case and lowered the charge from aggravated assault to a lesser offense and gave him deferred adjudication - a punishment that allows the offender to walk away without a conviction. This was all done over Lemons' objection. There is hope on the horizon: Jeremy Sylestine is a lifelong Democrat running in the Democratic Primary for Travis District Attorney. He is Native American member of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas. He went to UT, served as a Public Defender, and then for 15 years as a highly respected member of the DA’s office in Travis County. Meet Jeremy: He is among the highest integrity people you can meet. He is sacrificing a very good job and risking a lot for the sake of Austin and Travis County. Jeremy is compassionate, but he understands the duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our community from violent criminals. It’s quite a contrast: It took me months to understand why, in contrast, Jose Garza would allow a violent criminal who drugged and raped a 13 year old girl to get off without anything on his record. Why would he plea down everything to misdemeanor, including when a violent felon beat his pregnant girlfriend so brutally that she lost her baby? Even the most kindhearted also want justice and public safety. But Garza has a radical ideology that ANY prosecution ever is evil. When he was a public defender, that position was acceptable. But as DA in charge of enforcing the law, he is subverting his duties and violating his oath. Under Garza’s simplistic ideology, everyone is a victim or an oppressor based on their background and position in society rather than based on their actions and behavior. For Garza, the criminals that commit violent crimes are the victims so even if they committed rape or murder they cannot be at fault. It’s the system’s fault. For Garza, the DA’s office he presides over is the oppressor and so he is slowly dismantling it (not just reform it, but dismantling it, which is why he disbanded the division that processes cases, resulting in over seven thousand unindicted criminal felonies thus far). It’s so extreme it’s illogical. But that is what radical extremism does. In terms of financial backing, virtually all support for Jeremy comes from people that live in Travis County. Garza came into power with $1 million from out of state money. The people that put Garza in power do not need to live with the consequences of his actions. Jeremy’s supporters are locals whose families and loved ones live in Travis County. Our only agenda is to protect the community. For us teachers, entrepreneurs and parents it’s uncomfortable to get drawn into politically divisive issues. But the stakes are so high that everyone is stepping in. It’s very unusual for other elected politicians to stand up against an incumbent from their party. The amount of Democratic leaders that I’ve met and have told me how much they dislike Garza but can’t speak up is stunning. And even then, you have icons of the Democratic establishment speaking up: • David Butts and Alfred Stanley are among the most highly respected Austinites and life-long liberals helping Jeremy’s campaign. • Former Austin City Councilwoman Ora Houston, former Travis County Commissioner Karen Huber, as well as the Austin Bar Association Preference Poll, the South Asian Bar Association of Austin, and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas have all endorsed Jeremy. • Even former State Senator Gonzalo Barrientos & Travis County Commissioner Margaret Gomez, fellow Hispanics, are so shocked by Jose Garza’s actions and so impressed with Jeremy’s integrity that they have endorsed Jeremy Sylestine. Extremism seems to be taking over our country. But the proper response to rigidity and dehumanization from one side is not denial of facts and “us vs them” dehumanization from the opposite extreme. Personally, I identify as independent because I find political parties hyperpartisan. I support moderate candidates on both sides. It’s high time for builders to transcend these labels and all join together. It doesn’t matter if you are Democrat or Independent or Republican. You are a human being. You are a citizen. When it comes to public safety, it’s not about politics.Your children should be able to walk downtown without fear for their safety. Your spouse should be able to go for a run in the park without fear of being assaulted or raped. It’s about enforcing the law to protect victims while showing compassion wherever justice guides us to. It’s about all of us being together to BUILD a better community for all. Everyone in Travis County should go out and vote for Jeremy - not just to keep our community safe - but to break the shackles of extremism from either side and show that the people in Austin are ONE and refuse to play divisive games from extremist ideological politicians from either side. Regardless of political affiliation, anyone in #TravisCounty / Greater #AustinTx can go into a voting location, request a #DemocraticPrimary Ballot, and vote for #JeremySylestine in the most consequential election to the community. Where and How to Vote: Vote for @Jeremy4DA during Early Voting today through March 1 or on Election Day March 5.
