Dallas residents say they oppose library closures as city considers a regional model ๐

Running on faith: The message powering James Talaricoโs Democratic win
"There is an element of compassion that is entirely missed from this world of walls and razor wire and ICE raids we've seen in Minneapolis and across the country. We still need to see how this plays out in November, but I think this would resonate in border counties among Tejanos who have this rich Catholic tradition of social justice."
Joseph Locke, author of "One State Under God: A History of Religion in Texas," discusses how politics and religion have long been intertwined in the Lone Star state, why Talarico's messaging was so effective in the primary, and how it could impact the general Election in November.
Here's what Dallas residents have to say about their City Hall
Ahead of a Dallas City Council vote on the direction of City Hall, residents are speaking up about their opinions over the future of the building.
"The rush to make a decision includes lots of opportunity for oversights, miscalculations. I've seen nothing that says what the truly allocated cost of relocating a city hall to another building would be."
UPDATE: The spare ticket is taken! Thx for your boosts, all.
