This is my congressional representative. He is the same jerk who ripped the piece the paper out of Representative Stansbury’s hand at Trump’s first address after returning to the Oval Office.
These MAGA congressmen are DISGUSTING. Rep Lance Gooden Texas, CD05 #corruption

My youngest turned 19 today. Last week I got a request for a vegan BAKED chocolate “cheesecake” topped with vegan ganache. Baked it last night & let it rest in the fridge for 12 hrs. 19 y/o decorated it w/chocolate covered freeze dried raspberries, dark chocolate shaving and 4 fresh raspberries.

5 years ago today, the day after the state of Texas went into lockdown, COVID took my hubby, David from me. Our youngest was 13 and will graduate high school with honors in May. He should be here to see that! A few hours before he died, he told me, “I love our life, every single bit of it.”

Things COVID has proven:

1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely.

2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to.

3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury.

4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

"The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit." Thanks to Jasmine Mooney for speaking up for those who can't, and are still trapped in ICE detention www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Handmade mini caramel cups up top in the gold wrapper. Pecan, caramel, and nougat enrobed in dark chocolate in bronze wrapper. Caramel and nougat enrobed in semisweet and wrapped in purple foils and in the gold—caramel, nougat and peanuts enrobed in milk chocolate. 🍽️

We have a few mated pair of Bald Eagles in the rural SE TX county I live in but we have never seen them in trees on our road before today.

If being 'woke' means caring about other people, embracing diversity equity and inclusion, teaching real history, empowering women, supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and saving the planet, then hell yeah, I'm woke AF. 💫

Why is it called gerrymandering instead of cheating?

This could be an example of the type of lesson in the new bible based Texas k-6 curriculum recently approved by the TEA. It is currently voluntary but any ISD that incorporates it into their classrooms will get a $60 per student bonus from the state.
