West-texas blue dot #letsmakewesttexasblue #westtexasblue #texasblue #texasbluedot #westtexasbluedot I'm not on here much. Not an activist, influencer, or political figure, just a blue dot from "oil country" who is sick of this mess. That's all.

I had covid a couple of years back, and while I was not hospitalized, it did not feel great at all.

Okay, article is old (last year), but it's still a good idea to check your voter status, especially if you live in a major city. Thise tend to get hit with the purges. You can check your TX voter status here: teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do

He knocked 100 voters off the voter rolls shortly before the last presidential election. I would not put it past him for him to do it again, because he likely will.

For the life of me these prices! Where I live: Ground beef is now upwards to around $7 per pound. Sometimes higher. ($5 to $7 or higher) Pack of pre-seasoned ribs, normally $10, are now $20! (Double) There's no way I can live with this for the next few years. #lowerpricesplease

How about: Universal HC, or some form of it Dark money out of politics (limit the $$$ that businesses can give to election officials. Or better yet, ban corps from endorsing and contributing to political campaigns and PACS.) There's much more we could add to this.

Just read the whole article. Judge let him go, but he still has a court date in September. Though, I think he will likley have the charges against him either downgraded or dropped, because of how ridiculous it is.

Hi #Texas #bluebots Friendly reminder that the governor can basically call as many special sessions as they want to address specific issues. And I garentee you, Abbott will continue to call for special sessions in order to ram the map though. He did the same thing for school vouchers.

^you are spot on, it's true that democrats outnumber Republicans, sadly, alongside the gerrymandering (yes, our current map is also heavily gerrymandered, we have pretty lowish voter turnout. But, let's not also not forget the other tactics here in Texas to suppress the vote.

As a job seeker myself (as of a month ago), let me say it's tough out there. In the past month alone, I've applied to at least 8 different jobs and have not heard anything. No email, message, or requests for interview. Some apply to 100 jobs and only get a few or no responses at all. #jobhunting
