Texas is a war zone. GOP’s jamming through a mid‑decade map to grab 5 more U.S. House seats. Dems fled the state, Abbott’s threatening arrests. This isn’t politics...it’s raw power. The side that blinks first loses America’s future.

Finally, a united nation.

Dr. Rebecca Helm is amazing. I've followed her for several years. I have a thread she posted several years ago relating to humans and gender related to chromosomal anomalies.
I will try to post that soon.

Yes

Whoomp....There it is!

Republicans are rigging the rules to gerrymander Texas to steal FIVE congressional seats. If they're going to cheat the system, Democrats shouldn't be afraid to do the same.

💯.

They didn't stop raping children because Epstein died. Release the Epstein files!!!

BREAKING QUORUM: “We’re not walking out on our responsibilities; we’re walking out on a rigged system that refuses to listen to the people we represent. As of today, this corrupt special session is over.” — House Minority Leader Gene Wu @thewuwu.bsky.social

Corporations Cozy up to the government. The government Cozy up to corporations. Whatever beneficial tax laws are born.

Maximize profits, regardless of the social or environmental cost.

This is important to talk about, incl where it’s more about Jewish trauma & where it’s got an understandable basis (Protest chants of “burn down Tel Aviv!” have been heard, perhaps less unreasonably, as calls for the mass murder of Jews.)

Accountability must include safety for *all* civilians. +

The plight of women in America.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

Connecticut: Breakout of ACA individual market policy enrollment by congressional district

Nearly ALL of them are looking at MASSIVE rate hikes starting LESS THAN FIVE MONTHS FROM NOW...due *specifically* to Congressional Republicans & the Trump Administration.

Six years ago, a gunman in El Paso murdered 23 innocent people and wounded 22 others in the worst targeted attack against Latinos in U.S. history.

A photo of Willie Nelson, beloved by both the Left and the Right, with the quote: "AUSTIN CITY LIMITS AND PBS WERE AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF EDUCATION, UNDERSTANDING, CURIOSITY AND EMPATHY, WHICH ARE THE ESSENTIALS AND BUILDING BLOCKS OF HUMANITY." - WILLIE NELSON

I find myself wondering how the Corporation for Public Broadcasting shutting down will affect Red State favorite “Austin City Limits.”

Yet again, another Trump executive order has been struck down in federal court because it’s unconstitutional. Last week, federal judges invoked the 10th Amendment when dismissing Trump’s hateful lawsuit against sanctuary cities.

Texas Republicans voted to pass the rigged congressional maps through the redistricting committee.

When Republicans can’t win, they cheat.
