Instead of creating revenue, like my home state of CO, my adopted TX has a $23b surplus from starving its people, figuratively and literally www.fox7austin.com/news/texas-d...

You know your cat doesn’t feel well when they willingly get into the carrier to go to the vet. Tilda Kitten has something going on in her mouth.

If I had 20 bajillion people to tell and I was getting laid good, I’d tell them too. Get it, Blondie.

There's been a lot of confusion about which states could redraw their House maps before the midterms, so we've put together a definitive guide to every state that could actually do so—16 in all. We explain the likelihood of new maps, probable targeted districts, and any obstacles to passage.

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

There was no Tilda Time™️ for all of Fantastic Fest. It was a long fest for Tilda Kitten who thinks I should only watch movies from the big chair.

I just saw 26 movies in a week. There is no fest like Fantastic Fest. I saw my friends and made new ones. See Body Blow! It’s queer and wonderful

It’s so good!!!!! Secret screening comes through!

Movie Number 10 is BULK

Many children I love were dropped off at Barton Hills El. because APD said it was safe, all while a gunman was across the street. I want to know how this happened and how it never happens again. www.kut.org/crime-justic...

I am a little teary to have a candidate I believe in and am excited to support. I truly believe that if he wins the primary, we flip the seat.

I learned that if I invite my friends to a rally instead of a protest, they’re more likely to say yes. They’re engaged and want to participate, but protests sound dangerous and rallies sound fun.

The content of the note is not great news, but I’m officially Merle’s mom to my neighbors. I’ll take it.

Merle’s not here for my nonsense

Happy Caturday from Tilda Kitten and her one remaining tooth.

There’s a lot going on in Austin and life rn, so it took me a minute to get around to painting my nails #lifeofashowgirl. I also got sunscreen in my eye doing it. #swiftie

I’m privileged. In middle school, I saw Rosa Parks speak. In college, I saw Maya Angelou sing “this little of mine” intertwined with words of power and empathy. Yesterday, in Austin, I saw Dolores Huerta. These women of color, super heroes in human shape, have made the world. Si se puede!!

I’ll be there!

I love a quiet announcement of an entire new album whilst on sabbatical. Let’s go bitch. #swiftie #taylorswift

So, we’re getting a 12-track fiery AF love album with one featuring Sabrina Carpenter. And she’s announcing it on her man’s podcast on Wednesday. The 13th. Of August. Right? What else? #swiftie #taylorswift

Boooo Paramount made me take these off Et$y but they can still be yours!!!! Who wants a Lower Decker on their head? (I'm beyond broke at the moment so an order would help me out enormously 🙏) #StarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #crochet #cosplay

I didn’t get a job I really wanted. As a career nanny, it’s hard because it’s such an intimate relationship. Every family should have the nanny that’s right for them. I just really liked them.

Weapons is great. Go see Weapons then come talk to me about it cuz I wanna talk about it!

Sometimes I’m good with $ and sometimes the Garyl plushie is on sale, and as a middle aged woman, I need it. #theadventurezone #TAZ

Seems like a good time to give.

Schadenfreude is amazing and reserved for the power hungry and billionaires. FAFO too. I take no pleasure in an everyday person losing healthcare. They were sold a lie. Let’s offer them a better future

Texas Dems are paying a high price to defend democracy in Texas. I’d like to hear from the “flood victims get what they deserve for voting for him” crowd

Members of the Texas legislature have a salary of $7200 a year. Staying away and running out the session will cost each of them $8000.

This is what we want. We deserve to be fought for! We know Abbott won’t stop and we know what it costs TX Dems to do this. May it help others find their courage as well. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex... Texas House Democrats leave state to block Republican redistricting

My roach trap caught a scorpion. I’m afraid the entire building must go. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is a new pose

I’ve been waiting my entire career for one of my charges to show interest in Star Trek. It’s here and I’m woefully unprepared. Help! What’s the best 1st ep to show a 9 yo?

Not a care between them

@repjasmine.bsky.social is the future of the Dems and TX. We’ve had it with the greedy liars. Too many Texans suffer and die under them while they get richer. Please join me in asking her to run for senate. She will win the primary and defeat Cornyn or Paxton. Let’s go! source @newsweek.com

It’s been wildly busy all day, but I’m finally getting my fries. Thank you, P. Terry’s!

Thank you Mexico 🇲🇽

What would Trump do if this song went viral today?

Heartless monster trying to deflect to cling to power. Even now, he’s thinking about himself

Once again.

A friend told me about her friend. What she’d endured to survive the flood and her unspeakable loss. I had to call my best friend and cry just knowing this happened. I can’t imagine the pain of the survivors and the families who lost people. There’s so much pain in Central Texas rn.

"The Nazis... imagined their targets would self-deport. Once the myth of self-deportation collapsed, they turned to more punitive measures. On Tuesday, Noem similarly noted the Everglades camp was meant to frighten immigrants into self-deporting. 'If you don’t,' she said, 'you may end up here.'"

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?

Just saw Bring Her Back. That is a wild role for a kid to play. He does a great job, but Jesus.

For days, I’ve had “There are No Cats in America” from “An American Tail” in my head, except it’s “There are No Kings in America”. #NoKings
