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

Sadly, yes, we do have a bunch of idiots running our state.

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
Gsmith1030 (@gsmith1030.bsky.social) reply parent
Not again. I'm checking right now.

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

Tax the rich! Corporations too. De-monomplize large media corps (break them up) Ban company mergers. Require Media, civic, and financial literacy at HS level. Tech literacy too. Love is love. No governmental entity may deny the right to a union between willing participants

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.

Okay, but i feel that I'm the only #texas #bluedot from the Odessa/Midland area that's even on this platform. Most of them seem to be on Facebook and Instagram (which i refuse to go on for obvious reasons.)

#TexasBlue I'll say this one more time Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick need to go! These pieces of ๐ฉ have bent the knee to fascism! To the surprise of no one that is.

There's no way he posted that(compares to the other all caps things he normally posts). Did someone hack into his account to post that? ๐คฃ Or am I seeing things at 2 AM?

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.

This means that the Texas Democrats may be in this for quite the longhual until at least the end of the year.

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.

Remember the amount of times that they would make it really hard for people in Houston to vote?

^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.

Ugh, of course this has to happen in my state. This state is so freaking backwards. My heart goes out to this woman, who not only lost her child, but is also facing jail time on top of this.
Gsmith1030 (@gsmith1030.bsky.social) reply parent
As a Texas woman myself, I'm glad I'm not planning to have any kids. I would love to move to a blue state, but I can't because it's financially infeasible at the moment.

Even as a U.S citizen, afraid to travel out of the country, and trying to come back. And that saying something. I'm very afraid of getting on a plane right now due to all of the back to back plane crashes that's been happening as of late.

Okay, correction to above line, since i can't edit it, the line is supposed to be: But we will not just survive But thrive.

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
