It’s been a day. So I’m reading inappropriate memes on Pinterest. So far, this is my favorite: In 20 years when kids ask about the 2020 toilet paper shortage, I’m telling them we had to drag our butts across the lawn. In the snow. Uphill. Both ways. Dodging murder hornets.

Bait and switch politics a la Abbott. Say you want to work on flood reform and relief. Then push redistricting and only redistricting.
slmorrow (@slmorrow.bsky.social) reply parent
If you “needed” to, could you drop everything, leave the state, hole up somewhere, indefinitely? Do you not have responsibilities to your family, job, home? Originally you said “as long as possible.” For the ones who returned, other priorities brought them back. Responsibilities other than politics.
slmorrow (@slmorrow.bsky.social) reply parent
Abbott has up to $70 million in emergency budget authority. He can release the funding no matter what Dems are doing. He doesn’t need approval. But he can’t hand Trump five more districts on his own. Flood relief should have been the first and only item.
