πŸ“Έ No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Familyβ€”but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.

Why? Because respect isn’t about clothesβ€”it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

Measles outbreak in Texas rises to at least 58 cases β€” the state's worst in over 30 years A measles outbreak in Texas​ has led to 58 confirmed cases, making it the state's worst in over 30 years β€” and local health officials say additional cases​ are likely to occur.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children.

We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread.

It is indeed a strange world when we find ourselves in agreement with Mitch McConnell πŸ‘‡

Does it make sense why they don't want their kids to learn about Japanese internment camps? They don't want their kids throwing their sins in their face.

β€œEnd racism” should be a universally accepted message, not one that is silenced to appease a select and divisive few.

If ever there was a day to take a knee, this is it.

We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Oh, so my taxes can pay for a White House Faith Office, but can’t fund universal healthcare or free school lunches?

And don't get me wrong I certainly hope many people step up to run for positions in Austin. It's desperately needed. I used to want to take on Abbott. Paxton and Abbott are about equal threats. Texas is exceptionally gerrymandered tho so it feels that a statewide seat is the best shot to take.

Also thank you for the constructive criticism, please always keep that coming. It's exactly what I need to hear. But yes I am totally serious about wanting to do this.

Tejas means Friend so my desire is that we return to that spirit. Actual community care. Conversely, a Lone Star leads to isolation and that's never good. I can remember when there were two stars. We need to be good relations to our neighbors. We're related not just in history but destiny too.

There's also a River and National Forest here that bear her name. I've a Grandfather resting under the Nacogdoches County Courthouse too. Right there with the founder of that City. So for me it's very personal how people treat this place and how the people are treated.

I'm probably one of the few actual American Indians of this region that could take them to task. I'm very mixed so my voice carries a lot of empathy across a wide ethnic spectrum. My roots go beyond the beginning of even Tejas. Our Grandma is the only woman with a Texas County named after her.

I def agree that it's a really weird political storm right now. I have nothing against Beto or Allred. It's just that both of them are way way too nice. The right took the gloves off a decade ago. Running nice guys is just asking to fail. What I bring is a different kind of energy.

I realize I'm aiming big here. Been compiling a list of aspects that are super important to me or that are revealing of the situation. What's the alternative? I don't even wanna be in politics but knowing how Paxton behaves I would never wish that terror on the nation. We have to at least try.
