Thou shalt not go on vacation every time your state has a natural disaster. This commandment is mostly for Ted Cruz.

I am truly blessed as I head into year 23 of teaching. Guiding kiddos to success and having the privilege to witness them blossom is what it’s all about! For anyone who feels led to donate, I am attaching our classroom wishlist with items that will help support and inspire our learning. 💚
And thank @mrjoncryer.bsky.social for bringing attention to the devastation taking place here in Texas.
My heart with all of the families affected here in Texas.
There is no longer a Republican Party. There is the cult of MAGA.
Well fuck! No prize now!
He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.
I feel icky agreeing with MTG! Gross!
Can’t stand Tucker Carlson AT ALL, but as a Texan, watching him crush Cancun Cruz brings me joy!
Good one!
The right wing claims that: 1. Both Trump assassination attempts were done by the left 2. The Minnesota assassin is a member of the left On both LIES we must push back HARD. Because the TRUTH IS: 1. Both Trump assassins were Trump voters 2. The Minnesota assassin is a right wing extremist
Love love LOVE this!!
Looked right at her and shot! OMG!
I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.
this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake
YES!! 🙌
Best show in years!
We are definitely in the upside down. 😔
Exactly!
It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
The last one I see is from 5 days ago March 26th. Hers raising concern that she can’t see them is gone now as well
Also, I’m no longer seeing the post she made about an hour or so ago discussing her previous posts vanishing.
This is scary and absolutely insane! I have no doubts that this was deliberate.
I frequently have to do that as well, being an educator! I love watching the vocabulary evolve, but it sure does make me feel old!
The Pentagon is apparently going to share its most sensitive war plans for China with Elon Musk I’m not sure that people have even noticed this So I will repeat it THE PENTAGON IS APPARENTLY GOING TO SHARE ITS MOST SENSITIVE WAR PLANS FOR CHINA WITH ELON MUSK Worried yet?
You did read where I said “I try to tell myself that they were good people at heart before the cult of Trump,” I said I TRY. It’s very hard to come to terms with the fact that your best friends voted for such a man. We are still having the conversation because it’s still relevant at this time, sadly
I feel this as well. I try to tell myself that they were good people at heart before the cult of Trump, If/when they see the truth, I will forgive them, but I will never forget what hate and prejudice they hold in their hearts to have allowed themselves to vote for someone so evil.
NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term. It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism, our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.
Good morning! #TaxDollars
Over the last three years, the head of a small charter school network that serves fewer than 1,000 students has taken home up to $870,000 annually, a startling amount that appears to be the highest for any public school superintendent in Texas. By @emsimani.bsky.social and Lexi Churchill
I can’t even bring myself to “❤️” this post. I’m a 23 year public education teacher in a low income Title 1 school in the state of Texas. It’s already hard enough as it is. I teach special education and am worried about what this means for all of us.
Thank you for your continued writings!
Not much to be proud of in Texas anymore, but Al Green is one to be proud of as is Jasmine Crockett
Hero indeed and a role model as well. Thank you Rep. Petterson
A huge mistake of the DNC was to invite her to speak. I’m a democrat through and through, and I cringed when I saw her on the stage and refused to listen to her speak.
I sure hope you’re right!
I just can’t do it!
These pictures are when Black Lives Matter came to the Capitol and protested. They were actually interested in having a conversation. Contrary to popular belief they didn't beat us with flag poles. Yes that's me in the pictures.
@kaylan.bsky.social @piperformissouri.bsky.social @keithedwards.bsky.social
Why is this not being reported on as we speak? @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social @atrupar.com @calltoactivism.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social @meidastouch.com
I can only shake my head anymore. How can people not see the blatantly obvious push for naziism? Oh wait, it’s because the racists have a pass now. My mama always told me that the south was just a hair’s breadth from rising again. Now they have permission.
YES YES YES!! Why? Why are they laying down and taking this? What does Trump have on them?
friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"
I call BS on the “mistake”
As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.
Jasmine Crockett is pretty fierce
I am literally afraid at this point. Literally effing terrified
Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.
This is an excellent read:
To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.
AOC and Crockett! That would be heaven!
Good point
In the face of darkness this community continues to be a beacon of light! $80k+ raised for the Humane Society Emergency Animal Relief Fund!! Shout-out to the Meidas Mighty!! open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
Might never happen, but it needs to be seen that people KNOW the dirty chit that is taking place!
All I am do is shake my damn head
Always the women who are strong! Sad that Obama showed up
Was about to post the same!
Trump literally broke TikTok so he could take credit for fixing it. It's disgusting. It's gaslighting. It's scamming & cheating. He's like a drug dealer who steals your stash and then helps you look for it. FUCK DJT!

Friends we are at an inflection point, oligarchy can only exist if they have control of media. This is what Felon47 is proposing here, he wants to use tax dollars to take over TikTok, pay attention. In T-24 hours you are going to see something we’ve never seen just remember #WeAreTheOpposition
I see they’re getting the Capitol ready for tomorrow’s inauguration ceremony of Felon47🎪🤡
I swear I just read that as “Smelania!”
I swear I just read that as Smelania! Pretty fitting!
If anyone can help us get through the next four years, it is @hcrichardson.bsky.social Please sign up for the @redwineblueusa.bsky.social event on Monday, Dr. Martin Luther King Day at 7:30pm. Thank you, Heather, and thank you RW&B!
Yes! Yes! YES!!
Exactly!
New: Seven state employees have been fired for improperly accessing — and in some cases, stealing money from — accounts of thousands of Texans who receive Medicaid, food stamps and other public assistance, The Texas Tribune has confirmed. www.texastribune.org/2025/01/17/t...
Ewwww
🤣🤣
My thoughts exactly!
If any other site had posted this, I would have 100% thought it true! Sad that it wouldn’t surprise anyone if it was facts!
Who here agrees? 🖐🏾
Danish news is reporting that many of the people wearing MAGA hats in Don Jr & Charlie Kirk’s Greenland videos were homeless rounded up from the area, including one man they found under a bridge, to come into the restaurant for a photo op & a free meal. meidasnews.com/news/busted-...
I see people making jokes and laughing it off, but I think he’s serious. And that scares me!
I know hell would freeze over first, but please take Texas too! 🙏
🤣🤣 Me too!
I admit that it’s very hard for the average American to wrap our heads around this. It’s hard not to feel defeated already. What we older American’s need to remember that our time here is limited. We must stand up to the regime for our children’s future.
Yep! Never fails, as soon as I sit down and get comfy! I gripe the whole time, but I love it and wouldn’t have it any other way.
Much needed happy news!
@claireberlinski.bsky.social shares the authoritarian upstart's step-by-step guide to reach the throne. In his rise to power, Donald Trump follows the instructions to a tee. #DonaldTrump #authoritarianism #DemocracyAtRisk #TrumpThreat
According to MAGA, carrying a Confederate flag into the rotunda is “patriotic”, but lowering our flags to honor the passing of a former President, is not.
Just unfollowed Washington Post, followed Ann Telnaes on here abs subscribed to her Substack. I’m a nobody in this big political mess of our country, but I’m doing my part!
🤔CARTOONIST LEAVES the @washingtonpost for spiking her cartoon depicting tech billionaires/BEZOS groveling before Trump: “My job is to hold powerful people & institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job.“ anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...
Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.
Literally buy any electric vehicle but a Tesla. There’s no longer justification for funding a man who wears his white supremacy on his sleeve and is the author of a massive H-1B visa scam—firing American workers by the thousands so he can get cheap captive labor from abroad. Time to boycott Tesla.

Ugh! Now I’m crying tears of both outrage and joy. We could learn a lot from sweet Eve and her rescuers!
And what I want, right now, as a Democrat, is a scorched earth strategy. I don’t want any cooperation with these fucking traitors. I want Sherman through South Carolina energy. I want Republicans to regret ever hearing the name Donald Trump, let alone nominating him.
Over at Dame Magazine I wrote about how America's right wing propaganda problem--and our bipartisan refusal to take media reform seriously--might very well be terminal:
Good to know! I’ll be looking at that today. I’d rather not give Amazon or Walmart anymore of my money!
I wish I had one close to me as well. We have a Walmart, HEB, Kroger, and Albertsons. I’ve looked at where Charles Butt stands, and he at least donated to republicans who voted to remove vouchers from the education bill. As a 22 year public school teacher in Texas, I’ll support HEB.
I just can’t! What an idiot!
Enter the year you turned 10ish into the gif bar and see what was popular back then…
Fun!!
