I voted for Crockett. It’ll be interesting to see who wins this Primary.

Shouldn’t we be fighting the enemy instead of each other?

Politics Girl has a gift for laying it all out there. My exception to spending will be subscribing to her today and I’m pretty sure that’s an appropriate exception. @politicsgirl.bsky.social

For those of you who know how to reduce fractions….

Happy 4/20

It also happens to be the anniversary of my legal marriage to my husband in the State of Texas. We had an illegal same-sex wedding before it was legal, but after the USSC ruled for marriage equality we were legally married.

Someone should ask Meghan if she would leave one of her children with Trump.

Crenshaw is blind in one eye.
From Wiki: In April 2021, Crenshaw suffered a detached retina in his functional left eye, undergoing emergency surgery. As he recovered, he expected to be virtually blind for about a month. He said, "I don't have a 'good eye,' but half a good eye."

In 2016, Ken Paxton had the audacity to sit at my table and break bread with my family knowing full well that my son is trans, then SIX YEARS LATER wrote an opinion stating that families like mine shouldn't exist. Within days, a CPS investigator was in our home threatening to remove our children.🧡

Texas was able to find 3 billion dollars for the border wall (that is only 8% finished) but can’t get money for emergency sirens?

Republicans have been in charge here in Texas for over 30 years.

1988, I was hanging over the edge of the balcony waving my leather vest at Debbie as she exited the stage and she asked: "Are you giving me your vest?" and I said, "No I just want you to touch it!" She reached up and slapped it with both hands and away she went.
I should have given the vest to her.

In Project2025 they talk about how they need many thousands (25000) officers to help man the concentration camps. I’ll try to remember to send the exact working I found from P2025 when I get home from vacation if you’d like.
