For some good fun I recommend following @texasreporter.bsky.social to see the grief they’re getting for sticking to the proper name of the Gulf of Mexico in their facebook posts. As might be expected there’s a lot of insanity and stupidity in some of the responses they get.

Hard work. Right living. = Traditional, admirable conservative values.

We think both traditional conservatives and progressives in the USA have valid, useful viewpoints.

Populism and demagoguery packaged as β€œconservative,” is a whole β€˜nother thing.

Ockham would just cross out β€œthe Bible.” Reading anything would help lots of folks in the USA.

The comments on our Gulf of Mexico photos are GOLD! We’re laughing just like y’all. WOW!

Seems like β€œthey’re not sending their best people” to advocate their viewpoints on our page.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.”

Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity.

I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking.

Here are some of them:

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%.

The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

You obviously don’t care to engage. Just look at the quality of replies you get over there.
