We canceled hulu,and along with that, also cancelled Disney+, espn+ and ABC streaming network. Trump and Kirk, RIP, allies must be stopped.

This Trump congress doesn't care about ALL of us. Note that Trump did not call the Minnesota Gov when Melissa Hortman (Minnestora Speaker Emerita) was assassinated June 14th. Trump did call the Utah Gov when Charlie Kirk was killed. Melissa Hortman, Rest in Peace. Charlie Kirk, Rest in Peace.

I disagreed with Charlie Kirk, RIP, when he said this in April, 2023. And I still do.

Dinner. Love baked cod on whipped celeriac, grilled gulf camarón ajillo

The release date is today. ----Debuting at #1---- Thank You, friends.

Guess what's for lunch midweek!

Saw South Park skewer Kristi Noem for shooting her dog. Thought it was a joke--until I looked it up. She really wrote in her memoir: “I hated that dog," so she shot it! Says her wirehaired pointer, Cricket, was “less than worthless as a hunting dog.” So she took the dog to a gravel pit and shot it.

This is obscene, abuse of women, of people, but must share its ugliness because,,,I recall that this man is president right now because people in the USA want him. Billy Bush, was fired by NBC after this tape. We must resist: volunteer, donate, demonstrate. organize. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhsS...

The same people who spent the last decade whining about the “woke mob” and “liberal snowflakes” are now melting down over a cartoon! youtu.be/NLvNJYUdWW4?...

omg. did you see the premiere of Southpark?

LIVE, Thursday, 24th 4 pm, I'll go DEEP DIVE into my new book: Native Mexican American Communities "Plant-Based Cooking Traditions" with Longevity & Health Expert @danbuettner @ttupress @utsa.mas @utsalibraries

“Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life. We know that's a nightmare shared by those on the forecasting front line --and by the people who depend on their efforts.” Nat'l Weather Svc www.theinvadingsea.com/2025/05/06/n...

All are praying for the safety of the missing girls, and all the community. I'm praying heartily that we will vote out the MAGA, Trump supporters who are making these dangerous decisions on our behalf. Pray that steps are taken to provide adequate warning to us. SOURCE: www.ft.com/.../d2674431...

This morning's news of Trump lashing out at Israel & Iran for not adhering to his triumphant cease-fire announcement of yesterday after he entered the war on our behalf, dropping dozens of bombs.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

too corny?

Make Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca. Make it often.

Trump shows his shallowness and indecency. His comment about Pope Francis: "I thought he was a fantastic kind of a guy."

RESTAURANT SIGNS tell the roots & radical animus driving Abbot/Republican-driven immigration policy and actions. The Library of Congress documents that the Lonestar Restaurant Association, based in Dallas, distributed these signs stating “NO DOGS, NEGROES, MEXICANS” to its member establishments.

"Ya Pá Qué?" Latinx Pro-Trump Fresno, TX, voters who put him in office are now protesting and angry because their neighbors and family are being deported en masse. I say: "Hey, you voted for this.... "Ya pa' qué?"

FIRE Donald Trump!

I'm in a grateful space.2 things: 1) I got the first flyer/promotion from the publisher about my new book and the sense of justice and our community's strength jumps out in the book. In food and cooking we make meaning 2) flying to NYC to tape TV show, opportunity to tell our story. Am so grateful

The index is the final element. It's a roadmap, a careful guide through the pages of "The Texas Mexican Plant-Based Cookbook," --release: July! @ttupress

What do the Cubans in Miami think of Marco Rubio joining Trump in relationship with Putin and Russia?

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

Am in my new place in #SanAntonio, and finally the herbs are all IN! Community Parade of: Yerbaniz, Cedrón, Orégano Mexicano, Epazote, Aloe Vera, etc. etc. etc.!! Love talking to my friends, doesn't everybody.

In plain view, rich republican politicians getting richer through government contracts, Musk being a prime example. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/u...
