I was polled by them the week prior. My responses did not help Allred. I replied to his donation texts with "please don't run". I seem to have effectively blocked the texts now.

If you happen to have the ear of POTUS, will you please tell him that he will be a "hero" & win the Nobel Peace Prize if he just takes Putin into custody in Alaska and hands him over to the ICC? That's what tough leaders in movies do. Double-cross the other guy. That's strong. Cuck Putin. War over.
Canceled it back when he killed the Harris endorsement. It officially ended yesterday. I am Prime no more!
Sorry. Didn't read what the OP wrote. Obviously you were reacting to Mike Lee's stupidity and not believing the letter was real. My bad. But people are definitely seeing it and reacting.
Letter is fake! thehill.com/homenews/sen...
Years ago, I saw Ozzy shuffle through the bar at the Driskill Hotel. He was in Texas with his son, Jack, filming their travel show. He had just been to San Antonio to apologize for urinating on the Alamo.
Join the Cancel Paramount+ Club! Be sure to give them feedback about why you are canceling.
Colbert being cancelled should enrage everyone. Weāre witnessing the erosion of free speech and the free press. Trumpās billionaire oligarch friends already control much of the legacy media. Many orgs have taken a knee. If youāre waiting for your āoh shitā moment, this is it. This is fascism
When COVID meant they had to cancel, I got a refund instead of deferring. I wound up being very glad they didnāt end up there. Super white and wealthy. Pre-camp activities were held at country clubs. It was just all weird and off-putting. There was very little info online about it.
Insane take. Theyāre not necessarily wrong about some of these TX summer camps, though. My kids were supposed to go to one in 2020. The closer we got (before COVID canceled it), the less comfortable I was getting seeing all the people who were going. It seemed like a UT Greek system feeder.
You might like Ground News.
I was there, too. Lots of fun. I did discover that you cannot get me to participate in the YMCA at this time, though.
Exactly! I am into anything these days that shows adults - and especially men - being silly with their friends without being toxic to each other or others. Just let yourselves have some good, silly fun sometimes, yāall! I was at the game last night. It was a blast.
Lefty here. š Saw the Bananas play last night. Had a great time.
Me too
In our cel, they are overlapping a little, which I consider a hug. š¤
We have 3 original production cels: 1. A random Road Runner by Chuck Jones (not sure what it was a part of) 2. The Oscar-winning āThe Dot and the Lineā (also Chuck Jones) 3. Tinkerbell from 1953 Peter Pan
Trying to find time for joy. At #FenwayPark. Watching Bananaball! This is so fun!
If we donāt have a youngish, loud progressive with fight in them to turn people out in the primary, then thereās no chance. A low turnout in the primary will forecast doom.
Got another one. Trying again. Iām not sure this is going to work.
When I got his fundraising text today, I wrote back āplease donāt runā So Iām with you, sister.
Oh this is bad bad bad
Post your favorite Doctor Who. Wrong answers only.
During the fatal ice storm and power outages in TX in 2021, Beto OāRourke used his massive campaign machinery to have volunteers call as many elderly people as we could to check in on them and get them matched with help. And Ted Cruz went to Cancun.
ICE took my friend today. Please tell people not to go to their immigration hearings in Austin. They took my friend today.
Maybe we donāt need people whose job it is to connect businesspeople with elected officials. Maybe they should just pick up the damn phone like any other person would.
I would love for all big donors to be this blunt about it. In fact, be up-front about it. āI gave $1M to Trumpās inaugural because heās a petty asshole and for the sake of Amazon/Meta/Apple, I have to give a quid and hope for a quo, but I know weād all be better off with the other candidate.ā
I have a new favorite youTube channel. Sorry, @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social. Youāre still my favorite real person. š youtu.be/PaiJxx46CjA?...
It's like Margaritaville is about coming to terms with the shame he feels for proposing that he and this woman Get Drunk and Screw.
Self-aware smugness warning Iāve never been so happy to never watch news coverage on TV. Reading is best. Ok. Sorry about that.
Itās at the end of this recording. Hilarious. youtu.be/8ubUPXZJ3XI?...
Carlton Cuse read from it at a panel at ATX TV festival, I think. I was in the room and died. I found it as a podcast or something from the festival. Iāll see if I can dig it up.
Please tell me you know the story of HSTās spec script for an absolutely unairable episode of NASH BRIDGES. He lived next to Don Johnson in Aspen and went to his house all the time.
Do we even know if heās okay? Like, does he have his mental faculties? You never see him. Iāve just been curious about that. Also, his paintings arenāt great. But I guess theyāre better than I could do.
I remember stalking their event page on Facebook and just laughing, knowing that they were setting themselves up for an absolute disaster. They planned no logistics. Just āput your boat in on this dayā. It was hilarious to watch.
A reminder that this is YOUR social media experience. You don't owe anyone shit. Not your attention, your ideas, your debate, your brainspace. You can curate your Bluesky experience however you want and there is no intellectual inferiority to do so. This is not a public square; its a fucking app.
Honestly a perfect slogan
I think Beto for these reasons, and I think people are ready for a fighter. But we'd have to turn out soooo many non-voters to overcome the massive mobilization against him. The 2A crowd will not be pleased. Castro's probably my 2nd pick. Talarico is fine. Allred is a bore.
Ken Paxton is fugly. Abbott uses a wheelchair. Neither are the "straight from Central Casting" that Trump judges everyone by.
This is why I always tell my fellow Texans that Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton will never be invited into the Trump inner circle.
Jon Stewart tackles the GOP's refusal to address gun violence unless it's carried out by a non-citizen
Then why is she his DNI???
I have friends everywhere.
Watching this #NoKings debrief right NOW. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECEb...
Is that third photo from the home of the victims? Is he wearing an old man Halloween mask?
#NoKings in #BethanyBeach Delaware. Hard to get pics of the full crowd, but I am AMAZED at the turnout. Canāt wait to see this all across America today.

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.
My kids literally learned to read by navigating the TiVo menu to find PBS shows.
Trump's base is rural and suburban voters without college degrees, who have no recent first hand experience with major cities or college campuses, so they believe whatever Trump tells them about these places
Itās clearly true, because you donāt even have to wonder who she is talking about. The two worst people.
More of this. People in various fields talking about the attacks on science. The effects that are happening now and the long term degradation of systems. @standupforscience.bsky.social
U.S. agriculture officials are warning that packages of ground beef sold at Whole Foods markets may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.
Still very bad. Thanks for finding that. I was really just curious what the Ks would do to it. So the real number is probably somewhere in the 78% - 84% area. And I live in Texas, so now we get to do it here. yayš
Iām anti-voucher and clicked the link to see if it answered my question (a challenge to read on my phone). Is it possible the āstudents who never attended public schoolā could include a sizable number of kindergartners?
Probably should have tagged #txlege. I was just so excited for it to be over!
Happy Sine Die to all Texans who celebrate!
This feels like a safe space to say Iāve never seen any of them.
Why donāt more identical twins play fun time-traveler pranks on people?
I havenāt tried them yet, but my kid said theyāre meh.
Saturday morning in Dripping Springs, TX. Just some peri-menopausal women out here bringing down the average age of our local protestors. Go protest with the progressive Boomers. Theyāll call you a kid. Itās fun!
This is for other #DoctorWho fans: WHAT? š® Like, WHAT?š Thatās one crazy finale, yāall. Is there a #Whosky on here?
Iām close to turning this account into one that just shares cool new products from #HEB. For all the people who moved away, like @hlkfotos.com š

I kept thinking to myself, "That's impossible!" Then I would recall the name of the franchise, shrug, and continue enjoying quite impossible things.
Quadruplets
In the last session, they at least had a hearing for a bill to Raise the Age to buy long guns from 18 to 21, bc the shooter bought his rifle as soon as he turned 18. This year, they didnāt hear it, but they did have a hearing to Lower the Age to buy handguns TO 18. Shameful #txlege
I'll be honest. I've thought about the Sneetches a lot the last few years.
Don't forget people who didn't vote.
It's not like Dan Patrick is going to be able to claim he didn't want THC out of Texas. He's "never been more passionate about anything"? Seriously. Why? Did weed steal his lunch money or beat up his sister. Like, WTF is your deal, Dan? I'm passionate about ending gun violence. Whatevs.
I've got a campaign strategy for Vikki Goodwin as she seeks to oust Dan Patrick as Lt. Governor in Texas. THC. That's it. (Texas just voted to essentially ban our legal hemp industry, rather than have a legal, regulated, and taxed industry.) Texas Hates Chillaxin' I'm 100% serious. #txlege
Should #marijuana/cannabis laws in Texas be more or less strict, or left as they are? Results from April UT/Texas Politics Project Poll. More strict: D, 18%; R, 40% I, 29% Less strict: D, 61%; R, 32%; I, 38% Status quo: D 15%, R 23%, I, 13% More: texaspolitics.utexas.edu/set/should-m... #txlege
Yāall watch your state legislature debate bills late into the night, right? Iām gonna have to call it soon, though. Itās almost time for my bedtime (currently legal in TX) hemp. Iām a law-abiding adult. Why does that mean you can do anything you want with guns, but I canāt use cannabis? #txlege
When Trump started talking about his own medical exam, has anyone asked him if it included a PSA blood test, given that test isnāt recommended after age 70?
If you have a name twin, get to know them! Then you can send gifts to each other! Thank you, @hlkfotos.com for the goodies from Oregon! I wonder if my social media screams, āI love tea and condiments!ā Because you nailed it. š (Itās okay to create joy for each other right now. Imperative, really.)

My husband and I were born six months apart. My titer test was fine. His was barely there, so he got the jab.
The amount my family will just say, āWut are dis?ā is keeping her in our thoughts daily.

"I hate that the thanks I get for donating to a Democratic candidate is having my phone number sold on a list to a hundred other campaigns, all of whom send me passive-aggressive texts asking for my donation, often weirdly attempting a guilt trip, as though I knew them."
Let them see how well Heart Eyes will do on Netflix. Thereās a whole audience of people like me, who donāt really like to watch horror movies unless they are also very funny.
Americans need to understand that gorillas arenāt actually as big as you think they are.
Are we telling young boys theyāll be better off if they only get one gun?
Tariffs will work this time. Nobody needs vaccines. Private industry will make sure their products are safe. Russiaās not so bad. It wonāt burn ME. They just canāt NOT Touch the Stove.
This is the āTouch the Stoveā administration. You can explain and/or demonstrate that there is a reason why we donāt touch the stove. But they are ALWAYS going to touch the stove, because maybe theyāre special. Maybe youāre wrong. Maybe you lied. Maybe theyāre smarter than you are.
Now that Texas law enforcement agencies are getting better at tracking the number of guns stolen from vehicles, I would love to see it broken down by parking style. I have a hypothesis.
Doesnāt this just identify which cars are being driven by women, thereby winnowing down the vehicles to stalk? Once youāre in the car and locked the doors, what is the difference. The danger is on the way to the car.
He has no idea itās a National Historic Site run by the National Parks, does he? It probably makes a bunch of money for the US, because you have to plan ahead and book a reservation way ahead of time.
Itās not. But donāt worry. The āRod of Ironā Moonie church is near Waco. Theyāre the ones who literally worship guns.
The taxation of trade routes is in dispute and turmoil has engulfed our Republic. But there is a new hope. We must band together and resist the dark side. Do or do not. There is no try. #StarWarsDay
