I’m asking the same question: Who are we?
When did America leave its balls in the bedroom closet?
Laws mean nothing.
Geneva Convention means nothing.
NATO means nothing.
Allies mean nothing.
Right & Wrong means nothing.
Murder means nothings.
Felonies mean nothing.
Insurrections mean nothing.

ICE agents are arresting more immigrants on the streets and at routine check-ins than under President Biden.
Most of them don’t have criminal convictions despite pledges to pursue “the worst of the worst.” www.texastribune.org/2025/11/03/t...

Yes, we’re doing the work.
About Red States on #NoKings:
Red State Dems often feel invisible. Unseen. But we are here. We’re doing the work. Often in hostile places. In the places nobody else dares to go. Despite gerrymanders, voter suppression, and without support.
But we keep showing up.
Don’t count us out.

She's running for governor of Texas.
She's running for us. She's not running to keep the billionaires in power. (Greg Abbott is, tho.)

I’m running for governor.
For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.
But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

Your right to read is being infringed upon, and librarians have become the first responders in the fight for democracy and First Amendment rights. Texas has become ground zero as sweeping book bans are adopted at an unprecedented rate.

I was a reference librarian in Texas during the census. That means I was to promote participation. It was like Abbott didn’t want a true count.
Ah yes, the famous Biden census of 2020… when Donald Trump was President.

I am heartbroken over the tragic event that occurred in Texas. People on here ditch Texas but so many people are donating money to help. Others are delivering supplies. Texans are such good people. That’s why I am perplexed by why we keep voting in evil people in office.

Can he just shut up already? Just stop talking. Canada is not going to stop their tariffs (nor should they) just because you threaten higher tariffs, and we all know that on April 2, you'll just push the tariffs back another month.
Nobody fears you. Nobody respects you.
