It's the guns 💯%

I stood in the rain today in Plano, TX, between two older ladies who had each come to their first demonstration, on their own. They were both so glad they came, and one was moved to tears by the experience.

You are not alone. Talk to your friends about this stuff. We’re in this together.

Yup.

I am the emotional support human for these two (Winston and Lucy), and some days that’s the only thing that keeps me sane. 😍

Happy National Dog Day to Trump’s most loyal bitches: Texas Republicans

Don't let these Republicans fool you guys.

Re-elect Mihaela Plesa sign in a yard

My rep’s a total badass and advocate for her constituents. And I don’t have an HOA, so. Thank you, @plesafortexas.bsky.social !!

Here, fixed it.

That medical debt is probably gonna stay on your credit report But you should know (and so should they) that debt collectors must follow rules and you have remedies

A Texas judge eliminates Biden-era rule on medical debt in credit reports, impacting Americans' credit scores and leaving Texas with some of the lowest scores.

Gov Abbott to announce flood relief funding in Kerrville tomorrow. He’s able to do this despite no flood legislation passing the lege because it’s always been something he could do by exec order. We didn’t need a special session, Republicans used flood victims to force their redistricting scam

May this be an albatross around the neck of the TX GOP through midterms. Amen. 🙏

Families who lost everything in the floods are still waiting for help. Yet the first bill Republicans rushed out of committee today wasn’t about flood relief—it was about racial redistricting for political power grabs.

6 hours after quorum, they chose Trump over Texans.

If only.

Aaaaaand that’s going right into the agenda for my team call tomorrow. Great advice.

Last night, chants of “FREE DC” echoed loud and clear through the Washington Spirit broadcast, absolutely incredible. Huge shoutout to everyone who made noise. Free DC is doing amazing work! ✊💚

We Have Your Back! — Texas Democratic Party

I hope every person who’s said over the past seven months, “I wish someone would stand up and fight!” is supporting the #txdems with their time, energy, likes, follows, and dollars. www.texasdemocrats.org/wehaveyourba...

We Have Your Back! — Texas Democratic Party

I hope that everyone who has said in the past seven months (omg it’s only been seven months 😩) “I wish someone would stand up to this fascist Cheeto”…is putting their energy, likes, follows, and dollars behind these #txdems right now. LFG.

Saving Democracy Comes at Cost Mihaela is ready to stay out of Texas “as long as it takes to save democracy” — but she can’t do it alone.

Wanna help our TX House Dems hold the line? Many members, like @plesafortexas.bsky.social, districts are being bombarded by oppo texts. They need $ to counter that & make sure their constituents know the truth about what & why they’re fighting. They’ve got our backs, time to have theirs!Donate here:

This really feels like a defining post of our time

On 60th anniversary of Voting Rights Act, Fort Worth residents decry attempts to redraw congressional lines “I feel like I’m going back to where my mother came from and my father came from,” said Pastor John Reed.

Proposed redistricting would put a Fort Worth community in a rural GOP district nearly 150 miles away — part of a redistricting push critics call a power grab. On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, leaders warned that this is "ground zero."

Has there ever been a bigger loser than Ken Paxton? How embarrassing for him.

I root for the plants that will outlive us all.

It would be so great to see Beto clean up the debris left over after Paxton v. Cornyn.

Ken Paxton is such a loser.

It is a FACT that I have a separate compartment for restaurant tortilla chips and salsa.

Morning, America.

This is what it looks like to have a President spend millions of taxpayer dollars to play golf in Scotland while his party guts healthcare and food programs.

(And on a point of golf etiquette, only a galactic piece of shit walks off & refuses to get his own ball from the hole)
