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.

I keep hearing that Kirk's killer is a sharpshooter. But wouldn't a trained killer aim for the center of mass rather than the neck?

Quote from Texas A&M student that prices the religious right is trying to dismantle education and critical thinking: “I am not going to participate in this because it’s not legal, and I don’t want to promote something that is against our president’s laws as well as against my religious beliefs."

Let’s get this done. We all agree!

I'm frustrated. The Democratic Party in my central Texas county is struggling with in-fighting & a leadership that is shutting out all but a select small group. The chair is under investigation for misuse of funds by the state party. And meetings result in no useful action. We can't win this way.

Don't believe any politician who tells you they offer prayers because their heart is broken after a mass shooting. If these shootings broke their hearts, they would take action to address gun violence. Shootings are just a minor inconvenience for them, taking time away from grift and butt-kissing.

"I will not back down from defending the virtues and values that built this country" when referring to posting the 10 Commandments in schools is the epitome of irony coming from TX AG Ken Paxton, the man whose wife filled for divorce over his adultery. Or did Trump delete that commandment for him?

I get frustrated when people say the founding fathers' beliefs were based on the 10 Commandments. If they were, the commandments specifically noted or included?

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.

Here’s a fact that no one wants to face: We are NOT going to be able to wait until the election in 2026 to stop that asshole from a total authoritarian take over of this country. The TX capitulation is proof of that.

I'm really not aconspiracy type, but this does make me wonder. Perhaps moving #Ghislaine #Maxwell to alow-security prison camp in #Bryan, #Texas, was less about a pardon and more about making access from the outside to her easier?

So Ken Paxton has now got a judge to enjoin Beto from fundraising for the quorum breaking TX Dems ! Ken Paxton should have been disbarred years ago. He has become emboldened. He literally is now suppressing political speech. Texas has become a totalitarian state

At #Project2026 in #Killeen for panel discussions on the impact of Republican priorities and how they have damaged #Texas. Sure, I'd like to do other stuff with my day, but fixing Texas is more important.

An innocent President would simply release the Epstein Files and demand a full FBI investigation into every Epstein client. That’s it. That’s the whole ballgame summed up.

Good morning 🌞

People from both sides of the aisle need to understand what is happening. "“My Democratic colleagues and I have just left our beloved state to break quorum and stop Trump's redistricting power grab,” Texas state representative James Talarico said" heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-3-2...

Hey, @repjasmine.bsky.social, you can move to Central Texas and be our representative. We would love to have you in District 31, or 11, or whatever number we become.

Congratulations to Kellyanne Conway. She will be providing the new alternative job numbers.

"Walking Yelp review" is pretty accurate.

It's not just Trump attacking higher #education. The attack also comes from inside. This is more frightening than I realized. Only by dumbing down America can the #fascists cement their control.

"I completely agree with Nick Fuentes" is a sentence I never thought I'd write.

One of my favourite politicians 😉
