We need flood relief, not voter suppression.
Warning systems. Emergency funding.
Instead, they gave us a redistricting circus.
We deserve a government that gives a damn.

This is the supply list for the Stormy Weather K9 SAR Supply Hub Rescue Dog Teams in Kerrville. There is a list of items they need, some things as little as $10, that Amazon will deliver to them this weekend for their search and rescue efforts. #KerrvilleFloods

When tragedy strikes, music becomes our lifeline. I wrote "Flooded" from the heart for Kerrville's flood survivors - those wrestling with unimaginable loss. Latest report says 129 souls lost, 150+ still missing. #KerrvilleFloods #TexasStrong #MusicHeals

His neighbors had the signs removed because their presence lowered property values.
Kerrville and the surrounding counties are bright red, fiscally very conservative, and very conservative in various ways.

My mom has a friend who owns property in #CentralTexas, the same area that has experienced recent catastrophic flooding.
My mom's friend told her that his area used to have “Flood Zone” signs.

Oh lawd.
What the hell is going on here?
Evidently, the mayor of #Kerrville was unaware that the #TexasDivisionofEmergencyManagement “activated” state emergency response resources across #WestTexas and the #TexasHillCountry Wednesday morning, July 2, 2025.
