Strong turnout at the protest in Belton, TX, this afternoon. Lots of passersby shouting support to the 200-ish of us gathered out here.

This is not the news I wanted to wake up to this morning. www.texastribune.org/2025/12/08/t...

I'm finding it hard to watch anything on CBS since they have been kowtowing to Trump, but I think I will have to go on a full-out boycott over them asking him to host the Kennedy Center honors.

Texas lost a great crusader for workers rights and human decency last month. Most people know more about his wife, the late Gov. Ann Richards, or daughter, the late Cecile Richrads of Planned Parenthood, David was equally ardent about fighting the good fight. www.texasobserver.org/remembering-...

I feel pretty sure I failed Pastor Webbon's requirements for what a woman should bring to marriage--beauty, fertility, submission--yet my husband of nearly 29 years seems content. He even does the dishes, which seems like a good requirement for the groom. www.chron.com/politics/art...

If you are near Salado, TX, and have time in Dec. 1, please come to the library board meeting to help fight a book banning effort. 5:00 at the library. We need to pack the place with library supporters!

Apparently she needs all three blankets in order to have a Hapoy Caterday.

Our local Dem party had to oust the chair for misuse of funds, and the Repubs are gloating. I keep pointing out that we need to say loudly that we don't tolerate misdeeds and have handled it. Others want to bury it so "we don't look bad." Trying to hide this makes us look like Republicans.

MEANWHILE….release the files.

Every few days I get a text from WinRed begging me to donate to the campaign of Winsome Earle-Sears. I sincerely hope it is true that without my help, he will lose his race. I've been a Dem for 20+ years and getting frequent texts from WinRed only makes me madder.

"nearly half..." ??? it's an open book test. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Bravo, Oak Lawn Methodist Church for finding a way to show acceptance AND thumb your nose at Greg Abbott. Well done!

Trump ordered Treasury employees not to share any more images of his demolition of The White House.

Repost Pls

If you can spare the time, please tune in and listen. Dr. Hotez is the one we need to be listening to, not RFK Jr.

I enjoyed the incredible sense of community at the #Belton No Kings protest so much that I have decided to decline the payment that George Soros didn't offer me.

C'mon KCEN, KWTX, & KXXV. The day after #NoKings and you've moved on, highlighting Friday night football scores and information from earlier in the week. Do your conglomerate owners want you to ignore how many people are against what is happening to our government?

As seen at No Kings Atlanta:

Oh no, the dancing has started in #BeltonTX! It's getting...peaceful.

It takes a special type of delusion to look at the turnout for No Kings rallies and think, "More people think Republicans are right." If people really felt that way, Republicans wouldn't need to use underhanded tactics to hang on to power.

Dinosaurs showed up 30 minutes ago. Now the axlotls have shown up. This is how you protest!

Just 6 more minutes until all of us Central Texas antifa types engage in a radically peaceful protest in #BeltonTX. Organizers say we will be singing and dancing, so you can see we are incredibly radical and subversive. In a display of true blueness, we are even singing Lean On Me. Such radicalism!

The Republicans may think older white people are their base, but looking at the crowd growing around me...yeah, they need to rethink that. At least half of the crowd who showed up early in very red Belton, TX, is white and 50+. Could a blue wave be growing? #NoKings

Belton ,TX, crowd has been gathering since about 2:00. Our protest starts at 3:00, so it's great to see all of the early birds. #NoKings #Belton

After a playful morning, it is time to nap on her favorite mouse toy.

I can't wait to see how mad the MAGA crowd gets when they realize Bad Bunny isn't a rabbit. They are going to be even more upset than they are about him playing the Super Bowl halftime show.

When you suddenly run out of steam during playtime.

Funny how the MAGA crowd thinks the Super Bowl is about patriotism rather than about profit. Even if it were a patriotic event, Bad Bunny is a US citizen. It's time to make Puerto Rico a state. They deserve the full representation due to citizens.

Enjoyed a great chat with Justin Early about social media, billionaire owners, and censorship at tonight's Blue Hour Social. @bellcountytdw.bsky.social @estherg-wve.bsky.social

This woman is a hero. I hope that I will be as brave as her if I find myself in the same situation.

Reflecting on all that is wrong with Trump, it seems to me that his bluster, grandstanding, and executive orders show that he fears death and being forgotten. His fake hair, orange varnish, and hand makeup prove he fears the march of time.

This is perfect!

TYSM Maureen!..🙏🦋💙

Why is anyone willing to be a teacher in Texas anymore? They are vilified by our legislators and the far right for doing the work of teaching children simply because the far right hates the idea of a future where people have at least some critical thinking skills.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

True Story. 👇

Release the Epstein files!!!!

I beg to differ. If you for Christ, you would know Kirk was not a real Christian. “You can’t be a follower of Charlie and not be a follower of Jesus Christ. They go hand in hand and so that’s why we’re doing this,” said Aide Barrientos, a supporter of Kirk’s. From a story on KWTX.com out of Waco.

So true

This should be getting more coverage the Kirk, but since school shootings have become “normal”, it is no longer front page, especially when a political assassination occurred at roughly the same time.

Respectfully Senator, he was not an elected official. It could have been a mentally ill fan for all we know. Please do not parrot what the right is saying about it being political. It is simply gun violence which is quite American and something the victim was really in support of.

I hereby declare that the Republican Party shall henceforth called the Regressive Party since taking us backward is their goal.
