But cracker representation is DEI
I need to see ALL of these
I think for a lot of us this is our Sweetwater guy
Today I wrote about a general tendency to accept atrocious premises, and the need to reject fascism's false choices in order to find expansive and imaginative paths forward. Breaking the premise, embracing the obstacles, pursing everything. www.the-reframe.com/there-is-no-...

Not sure where you got this number, but it's more like $7200/year. The Texas legislature only meets every other year, January through May, so legislators are expected to have other jobs to support themselves. It's insane.
But did anyone tell @tedleo.bsky.social ?
I truly don't care how
Let's speed it up, please
Solar and wind production of electricity has improved so much in recent years, it’s hard to believe, but this recent article by Rebecca Solnit is a short, but good overview. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Never buying bake sale cookies again, thanks Republicans
That's badass
Charles Expecteditallalong Cheese
Wait, Mike Waltz as in the Signalgate dude? What are these people doing?
Tell me again that it's not a genocide www.npr.org/2025/07/20/n...
Since Midge is just his actual name, Jim, pronounced backward, their birth certificates would say Tsoym, Tpar, and Tned. They'd be triplets, of course
WWJK: Who would Jesus kidnap?
"I'm coming up against a spiritual struggle today, something people less privileged than me have had to deal with for their whole lives, which is how to live among millions of evil people. I should define what I mean by that." www.the-reframe.com/so-shines-a-...
The Budget Reconciliation Bill currently being debated in the Senate would throw 11.8 million Americans off their healthcare coverage and increase the national debt by $3.8 trillion, according to CBO estimates. For what? Tax breaks for billionaires and increased costs for the poorest Americans.
I hate calling my trash senators, but if I can do it, you can. Talking points are in the comments, and you can leave them a voicemail.
Roe v. Wade was overturned 3 years ago today. Everyone should have access to abortion care, no matter who is in power in your state, the federal government, or the courts. Get pills if you need them. We aren’t going away. We are here to help. www.plancpills.org
You all know who I mean
JUST DIE ALREADY
Drinking from the wrong side of a glass works for me every time.
Not just your hair, you have a whole look going 😊
Really fucking tired of being surrounded by people who find fighting for democracy too cringe and/or inconvenient or who show up for the party atmo and then get themselves back to serving the whims of this administration
"It was apropos to drive tanks over an avenue named for the Constitution. It's a perfect metaphor for what the birthday boy and his gang of thugs do every day." www.the-reframe.com/shows-of-wea...
See y'all out there
Good way to get trampled 🤷♀️
They already do this in Texas
Thousands of Austinites now know where ICE HQ is
Too long, they just read Anthem
Also, Drake can kill everyone you love
This is one way to wish folks a happy Pride Month, I guess
This wasn't some bleeding-heart policy. These are people who earned in-state tuition because they pay taxes in the state. This bullshit defies basic math.
I'd go with "Buddy" or "Kiddo"
Today's the last day to leave a comment about the proposed restrictions on COVID boosters! If you can, please let the FDA know that everyone should be able to protect themselves and their communities.
I'm dealing with everybody's crises today, but a kind listener just compared my music -- which I did not perform well -- to Judee Sill, Joni Mitchell, and Laura Nyro and so I'm just going to hook myself to that zipline for a li'l bit, thanks
He is the BEST
You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).
Hey ATX, come join me at the weekly Songwriter Happy Hour at The Hole in the Wall this Wednesday! • Headful of Bees at 6 • Rich Russell at 6:45 • Ethan Azarian & Francis Knight at 7:30
And watch Republicans pivot from crying about a burning plantation to cheering for cancer in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1
Finally saw Sinners and am honestly just curious to see DJ Khaled's review 😂
Hey TX friends, please take a minute right now to let lawmakers know you support the right of trans Texans to exist. It's easy and quick! secure.everyaction.com/Wds42l7BI0uL...
It's lime sherbet farts, isn't it
We know the thief is probably a weightlifter if her makeup bag was in there
You guys, I kind of love being on incorrect texting lists
And THAT'S Numberwang!
Since statins are manufactured in China, maybe the rest of us can hang on somehow while natural consequences take care of a certain someone
I love the Malta controversy but am all in for Latvia youtu.be/RKw0OCgPV3s?...
Weird that the only thing that might save the economy is the fact that Congresspeople own stocks, which they of course should not
ATX organizers: For Saturday, I'm seeing announcements that say noon, announcements that say 2 pm, and announcements that say 2:30. Which is it???
These motherfuckers . . .
What he might not say out loud yet but absolutely means is that nearly every country with 2+% population growth is in Africa www.cia.gov/the-world-fa...
I sometimes think I hallucinated Wonderland. Two absolute gut punch episodes and then the network pulled the plug.
King gets to play whoever he wants
This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...
It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!
Are you fucking kidding me? I'm disappointed in them for NOT violating decorum.
I want to see @jamestalarico.bsky.social , @julieoliver.bsky.social , or Chito Vela taking a good look at running for TX-37 next year. I am #DoneWithDoggett
To be fair, some of the IPAs there will punch you in the nose
Au contraire, it's indicative of how familiar you are with the dominant culture
Following, they better not fuck with Haitians
Bombard these quislings, please
Can somebody please just give me a heads up when Kendrick is about to go on
It's like distracting your toddler with the car keys because there's no chance the kid can drive
JK, I know he's too busy looting our tax dollars and spreading his seed like a twerpy Genghis Khan
Shouldn't Musk be rejecting the fire department's socialist help? cbsaustin.com/amp/news/loc...
Now THAT'S a headline
This sounds amazing
Remember when we were all mad at Dave Grohl? I miss that
Huh.
RATS.
Highly recommend the surgery to open up his urethra
Fascists love to tell us that their numbers are great. They hate hearing that our numbers are also great. They want us to think we have a them problem, and we do. But we should not forget to give them an us problem. www.the-reframe.com/fighting-in-...
Just leaving this classic here www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45118/...
Pachycephalosaurus ftw
Is this satire?
Don't give up, get to work. This awesome thread is a great starting point.
I missed you by a month! Mine will be in January 😊
My fave lit term memory aid, "It's synecdoche, asshole!" never gets old
