We Agree!

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

For some good fun I recommend following @texasreporter.bsky.social to see the grief they’re getting for sticking to the proper name of the Gulf of Mexico in their facebook posts. As might be expected there’s a lot of insanity and stupidity in some of the responses they get.

🧢 "The Gulf of Mexico is Already Great" / "¡El Golfo de México ya es grandioso!" 🧢 No need to fix what’s already incredible! From stunning beaches to diverse marine life, the Gulf’s greatness speaks for itself. 🌊💙

We’re so sorry. What we gotta do to make it right?

Intercoastal Waterway. On the Gulf of Mexico. Texas.

Guadalupe Mountains. Texas.

Just wow. Comments are gold. Weird and concerning as well.

5 things I did this week: 1. 🖕 every Wankkkpanzer & Swastikkkar (down low, because, open carry state). 2. 😂 at our weak FFOTUS every day. 3. Celebrated Black History Month at work. 4. Got 5 coworkers listening to The Daily Beans podcast. 5. Blocked red hats thanks to the Texas Reporter page.

I don't know why anyone would mind lol. I posted this the other day. Magats still respond angrily to the Texas Reporter because they always call it The Gulf Of Mexico. bsky.app/profile/turk...

Texas Reporter...............

Hard work. Right living. = Traditional, admirable conservative values. We think both traditional conservatives and progressives in the USA have valid, useful viewpoints. Populism and demagoguery packaged as “conservative,” is a whole ‘nother thing.

The comments on our Gulf of Mexico photos are GOLD! We’re laughing just like y’all. WOW! Seems like “they’re not sending their best people” to advocate their viewpoints on our page.

Corpus Christi. Texas. On the Gulf of Mexico.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity. I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking. Here are some of them:

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%. The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

Damn @sanders.senate.gov. Just when I compliment you, I looked for info on the event. NONE HERE. But multiple posts on X. WTF. You obviously don’t care to engage. Just look at the quality of replies you get over there.

Found the Gulf of America

What is he even talking about?

Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia. #travel

No Pufferry There. lol. Singapore.

KFC. Shenzhen. China. If anyone can broker world peace, we’re convinced it’s the Colonel. He’s everywhere!

Read The Bible Hill. Big Bend. Far West Texas.

Haneda Innovation City. Hotel Hallway. Tokyo Haneda Airport. #travel

Blanco. Texas.

Tranquilo. Golfo de Mexico. Tejas.

Posting this FB link because I love the Texas Reporter magazine. They put "The Gulf Of Mexico" in every post. This one in particular makes a great commentary. 💙💙👍 www.facebook.com/share/p/1BWq...

Shout out to the Texas Reporter: they have published news and photos of the Gulf of MEXICO every day for weeks in spite of MAGA pushback.

If you’re not following @texasreporter.bsky.social you’re missing out!

Trump won by a mere 0.15 percent of voters nationwide. I would like to point out that this was not a mandate and certainly not a cleaning of anyone’s clocks. I do think one could go to the library and find books that demonstrate how to clean clocks.

Fox News: Texas Rep Jasmine Crockett “slams” less educated voters by calling them less educated. It’s an empirical statement, not an ad hominem. Education levels are measurable facts, not insults. And guess what? It’s totally within their power to fix. Just turn off Fox News. Head to the library.

The comments are GOLD! They tryna send hate vibes. We just laugh. lol. Just wow.

1. Gulf of Murica 2. Ukraine Started It 3. ?????

Seven deputies at a South Florida sheriff’s office were placed on administrative leave after a “multitude of shortcomings” in a domestic violence case that led to three deaths, the sheriff said this week, making scathing remarks about the deputies’ performance.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

To all the hardworking people around the world putting their skills to good use every day—you know what’s up. We see you, we appreciate you, and we support you.

On the day they taught critical thinking skills, they thought it was critical race theory, and stayed home.

Gulf of Mexico

🇺🇸💥 When we use the term 'Murica, we're not just having a laugh—we're pointing out a serious issue. 'Murica often symbolizes a version of Americanism that leans heavily on jingoistic fervor and less on critical thought.
