***** Houston Rally Thread*****

[nolabear]

As I start this, a whole crowd of Texas doctors are talking about the hazards of providing reproductive healthcare.

We need to STOP THIS!

[nolabear]

1. Someone needs medical assistance.

I think that might be possible.

[RussBLib]

16. When they paused for the medical situation....

....the doc says, "Texas needs some medical help!" and the crowd went wild.

(Didn't happen. Should have.)

[JohnSJ]

2. Powerful physician speaking. Now victims of the repeal of Roe are

speaking.

Watch it on CSPAN.

[nolabear]

3. Thanks. I'm on YouTube but yes it's there.

[orleans]

13. can you post the link? nt

[Wednesdays]

40. Here's a link to the ABC News feed

It's the one we're watching live, now.

[Wednesdays]

44. MSNBC feed has better audio, IMO.

[nolabear]

4. WILLIE!!

[Coexist]

8. Im watching on pbs newshour on YouTube

I haven't been online for much today 😕 feeling rough...

[JohnSJ]

15. Hope you feel better, this should help.

[JohnSJ]

9. Thanks for starting the thread nolabear. This is a significant event.

[nolabear]

10. It truly is. Concentrating on one issue is smart.

I hope she does a couple more. Economy and immigration.

[JohnSJ]

14. It has echos of the convention to me

[nolabear]

12. They're doing the ( Blue) Wave!

[JohnSJ]

17. The couple speaking is saying they met in preschool. That is

remarkable.

They are really slamming Texas draconian abortion law, explaining how she almost died, along with Ted Cruz and trump.

Every Texan needs to see this. Every American should see this.

Colin Allred just came out and hugged them.

[ananda]

18. Colin Allred is on!

Yay

[nolabear]

20. Beat Ted Cruz! Beat Ted Cruz!

[2 Meow Momma]

19. Colin!

[JohnSJ]

21. Crowd yelling Beat Ted Cruz

[JohnSJ]

22. Colin Allred, "everything is big in Texas except Ted Cruz, who was

hiding in a supply closet on January 6, and went to Cancun when the power went out.

To Ted Cruz, “lose your job”

“Beat Ted Cruz” crowd yelling.

[ananda]

23. Allred rocked it and gave a great speech!

Send Cruz packing!

[nolabear]

25. He did. It's been kind of a quiet rally so far though.

Or maybe I’ve seen so many I want a really big shoe. 😄

[ananda]

38. Well, reproductive freedom is a serious subject. However...

Allred really knocked it out of the park slamming
Ted Cruz.

24. LIVE stream on YouTube

[nolabear]

26. That's what I'm watching. It's on C-SPAN too.

[Wednesdays]

41. ABC New's live YouTube feed:

[wildflower]

27. Is this the same DJ as before?

From the DNC and other rallies?

[nolabear]

29. I suspect I'm not hearing the DJ in the crowd.

YouTube has several feeds and the music isn’t that exciting on mine.

I just switched to C-SPAN. Definitely better music!

[wildflower]

32. Oh! I'm watching the Kamala Harris feed

He's hyping up the crowd

[JohnSJ]

30. Democrats give better parties than republicans.

[orleans]

31. youtube link

[Deuxcents]

33. This intermission is too long 🤗 Maybe Beyonc is behind schedule

[ananda]

34. I've been wondering about that.

I hope they get back on track soon!

[JohnSJ]

35. The Shell Stadium has a capacity of around 22000, and it looks filled to me.

[Tribetime]

57. I wonder.If that includes the people on the field

[JohnSJ]

58. I don't think so, because I think I heard someone say something like 30000 people were there.

[nolabear]

36. Meanwhile 45 is three hours late to his Michigan rally.

[Deuxcents]

37. I just read that post! Delightful

He had a 3 hour interview n had to catch a plane to get 2 hours to his rally ?

[littlemissmartypants]

39. Maybe he woke up late from his earlier..

Nap rally at Mattress Mack's Gallery Furniture when he was in Houston today.

[bigtree]

42. these stories are heartbreaking

[Mersky]

43. Thanks for starting the thread

Have a multigenerational watch party of sorts happening in my house. It’s been wonderful.

[nolabear]

46. Oh yeah! I like having a central place to talk.

I’m nosy as hell and don’t want to miss anything. 🤣

[Deminpenn]

45. It feels like a mini-DNC convention

nt

[nolabear]

47. Beyonc is getting that crowd fired up!

What an opener, eh?

[awesomerwb1]

48. That Kelly lady is one powerful speaker

I was very impressed by her energetic and smooth delivery. Wow

[In It to Win It]

49. Beyonce! 😭😭😭

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

50. Beyonc isn't gonna sing? Makes me sad 😔

[nolabear]

54. I'm not sure about that yet.

It would be fitting to hear her do Freedom at the end.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

64. Both Beyonce' and Kelly came out with microphones and tried using them, but they weren't working.

I wonder if they were supposed to sing then. Regardless, it didn’t happen. Her speech was great. I assume Kelly sings as well? The Destiny comment leads me to believe so. Both Kelly and Beyonce’ gave great speeches.

[Coexist]

51. what did the heckler say?

[Tree Lady]

53. Don't know but she handles it

very well.

[nolabear]

55. I think there have been four now.

And yes, she’s in command!

[niyad]

70. Happy 16th DUnniversary!

[nolabear]

71. Oh my! I didn't know!

What a long, strange trip it’s been.

[niyad]

72. With still much more to come!!! Happy to share the trip with you!

[nolabear]

73. And I with you.

[niyad]

74. hugggggs Thank you!

[nolabear]

52. Multiple hecklers. Ignore them to death.

Boy that’s a great crowd though.

[angrychair]

56. They can't hear you boo

But they can hear you vote!

Or so I've been told by a very great man.

[LeftInTX]

59. Thank for the thread NolaBear!

Wish I could have gone, but so busy around here.

[RussBLib]

60. Good to hear Kamala mix it up

...some fresh material, heavy on reproductive freedom. Good stuff

[littlemissmartypants]

61. Best live stream comment...

T... supporters got nothing better to do on Friday night than to watch a Harris rally livestream and troll comments...

[electric_blue68]

65. Hahahaaa!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

62. I saw Congressman Al Green right behind Kamala

This made me smile.

[Talitha]

67. I saw him too but couldn't remember his name - thanks!

[Silver Gaia]

63. Damn! That was a powerful speech! Power WITH, not Power OVER...

such a clear difference between how she wields power, and how the wanna-be dictator wants to wield power.

Beautiful. All of it. Flawless. Pitch-perfect. 🥰

I am left with tears on my face. 🤧 🤗

VOTE, people, VOTE!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

66. These doctors were very effective

Link to tweet

[CapnSteve]

68. We were there!

Great criwd, great speech! About 30,000 Texans!

[blogslug]

69. It was great!

I started watching from when the doctors came on.

It was rousing, moving and packed with a joyous crowd. There was some kerfuffle with some disruptors but, VP Harris managed that nonsense and got them smoothly shuffled out. After that the room was all hers and she was phenomenal!
