Alex Samuels at Daily Kos:

Texas state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, a Democrat from South Texas, is jumping into the race for governor. She announced her campaign on Wednesday, setting up what could become a marquee matchup against Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in 2026. “Our fight right now is against the billionaires and the corporations who are driving up prices, closing our neighborhood schools and cheating Texans out of basic healthcare,” Hinojosa says in a video launching her campaign. “That’s who Greg Abbott works for. I’m running for governor to work for you.” Hinojosa will formally kick off her campaign in her hometown of Brownsville at a Blue Texas event—an intentional nod to the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where Democrats are trying to claw back ground after the recent GOP gains among Latino voters. A Latina attorney and former school board president, she’s positioning herself as a defender of public education and a foil to Abbott’s education agenda. She’s joining an already crowded Democratic primary field that includes Andrew White, a Houston businessman and son of a former governor, rancher Bobby Cole, and Benjamin Flores, a Bay City council member. Whoever emerges will face steep odds. Abbott has more than $87 million in his campaign account and has won three gubernatorial races by double digits.

In her launch video, Hinojosa leans heavily on her roots in the Valley, invoking her grandmother’s phrase—“No te dejes,” or “don’t let them push you around”—as a rallying cry. “Don’t mess with Texas moms,” she adds. Her message is as much about education as it is about taking on entrenched power. Hinojosa, whose district covers central Austin, has spent nearly a decade in the legislature making public schools her signature issue. She previously led the Austin ISD school board and says she decided to run for governor after her son’s elementary school faced potential closure because of state budget cuts.

That focus has put her squarely at odds with Abbott over private school vouchers, which she calls a “scam.” In the video, she contrasts her push to bolster school funding with Abbott’s pursuit of vouchers, which she argues would “devastate our schools.” She also calls out Abbott for accepting $10 million from Pennsylvania megadonor Jeff Yass, one of the country’s most prominent voucher proponents. “Abbott’s corruption runs deep. The billionaires he works for will not stop until they get what they want,” Hinojosa says. “As long as we have a governor that can be bought, we won’t have the Texas we deserve.”

Her campaign is also highlighting her legislative record: securing nearly $1 billion in federal funding for indigent health care in Travis County, reducing standardized testing, and boosting teacher pay. She also made headlines earlier this year when she joined dozens of Democrats in leaving the state to stall GOP redistricting plans.

State Rep. Gina Hinojosa (D) is the latest to join the crowded TX-Gov Democratic primary to take on incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott (R).

One Hundred Views of Reality by Kijitori Byu

Spring Tides by Andrew White

Here are two more from Glacier Bay Books that are just in at Copacetic.

One Hundred Views of Reality collects 300+ pages worth of Kijitori Byu’s short story manga for the first time, including their highly-regarded cult classic works A Long Stay, BYTE, A Country Called America, and many more. Glacier Bay sez: "A rare glimpse into the slightly surreal alternative Comitia doujin scene of the early 2010s." Translated from the Japanese by zhuchka

Spring Tides is an all-new, full-on graphic novel from longtime comics-poetry maestro and Copacetic fave, Andrew White. It's only just arrived here at Copacetic, and so haven't yet had the chance to dive in, but we'll be back with our take on it soon. For now, here's what publisher, Glacier Bay has to say about it: "Spring Tides depicts in subtle blue ink a two-part story narrating in images, sounds, and sighs as much as it does in text, the emotional landscapes and physical turmoil of a young couple isolated after a flood submerges the earth and then slowly recedes — but might return at any time."
