No content yet, the cowards. Once they post I will make sure to report them ceaselessly for hate speech and any other category of reportable behavior that I can. Probably not useful in the big picture, but satisfying, nonetheless.

I’m not an economist, but it seems like inflation also might save some a small money if you have a fixed rate loan, or if you are renting under a long term contract… since the amount you pay has less value? Curious what those in the know think…

Why this obsession with expansion? Can’t a small business just stay small, do what it does well, and share increased revenues with its employees- or drop prices to better support its customers in hard times?

Rather see an investment in actually usable public transportation…

I voted in the Texas Amendment election here in Bastrop. Some stuff you might want to vote against there if you are pro checks-and-balances and against corporate greed and racism. If you want a cheat sheet, here is mine, being as progressive as I could with the knowledge I had. #Texas #Elections

What strikes me about your summary is “big sugar” “big tobacco.” Are we returning to the age of mercantilism with all its nasty accoutrements…

Very cool indeed. This makes me think of the “cabezudos” during Carnival from my time in Uruguay. I looked it up and it seems to be a tradition of Spanish/European origin with different countries doing their own take.

Austin No Kings rally demonstrators. Several people, one in an inflatable squirrel suit, another in an inflatable sea horse suit.

Pray for my family, among the lawless terrorists in the #Austin #NoKings rally. (Sarcasm)

No Kings-Austin,TX

Go Austin!

I once lived in Carrboro! Now in a smaller Texas small town. We too rallied! Good to see smaller communities doing their part.

Pretty good turn out for #NoKings in #Bastrop Texas. More people trickling in to rally point. Exciting to have a new candidate Clayton Tucker for Texas Ag Commissioner here with us.

My somewhat bad punny signs for Bastrop, TX No Kings day (context: we are known as the “Lost Pines” area due to being in an area with pines normally only seen in Eastern Texas.)

Oregon Trail v. 2025?

“In another unconstitutional and systemically racist move, FEMA halts preparedness grant money, orders states to recount their populations excluding deported migrants.” Fixed it!

You could be ny long list twin 🥰. I commit!

“And boots” makes it even better, especially if they are rubber, mud stained, and chewed up by a dog.

This! My idea of a good weekend is putzing around in the garden (aka engaging in horticultural Darwinism) and maybe cooking a few things from scratch, only because I don’t like all packaging. I’d do it every day of the week if I weren’t required to be gainfully employed until I take my last breath.

Proud washed-up hag here!

One of those mornings when even turkey wattles can be inspiring 😀!

…and then they will still try to convince you that you haven’t done enough, and you just to need to adjust some magical mindset and read a few more inspirational quotes to get there. Whatever the f “there” is. (Let’s normalize being okay just “being”… no extra adjectives attached.)

This is the only thing giving me hope. Once a country goes through a dictatorship/facism, it takes a good generation or two before the horrors are forgotten. Maybe we will emerge better, and if I don’t get to see it, perhaps the younger generations will.

Seeing a theme here… and, it’s all sleight of hand, isn’t it?

But don’t you know it’s not “socialism” if it benefits the ruling class?! It’s “protecting economic interests” or some other BS. It’s only socialism if it’s actually done to help marginalized people.

Valid point!

Came here to say this. I’m pretty sure it happened, too. I mean how do you pardon people in jail for something that never happened?🤷🏻‍♀️Were they ever even there? This is like bad science-fi!

A South politician preaches to the poor white man “You got more than the blacks, don’t complain You’re better than them, you been born with white skin,” they explain. And the Negro’s name Is used it is plain For the politician’s gain As he rises to fame And the poor white remains On the caboose of the train But it ain’t him to blame He’s only a pawn in their game The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid And the marshals and cops get the same But the poor white man’s used in the hands of them all like a tool

One of many great Bob Dylan songs from that era. Also this one resonates with the current era:

Exactly! When do we start worrying as much about the rights of all the people improperly detained and killed by this regime as much as we worry about entertainers rights?

Came here to say that. From them, it’s always the woman’s fault.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
