Wise words from Michelle H. Davis of @lonestarleft.com: “You want the national party to change? Stop doom-posting and start filling state chairs.” AMEN! Precinct (neighborhood) chairs are essential for distributing info. Contact your Democratic Party’s county office and offer to help. #ShrinkThePink

It’s a replica of the famous Rose Window at Mission San José, one of our five Spanish colonial missions, which includes the Alamo. (The five are a UNESCO site.) It’s a quatrefoil, an ornamental design of four lobes. Learned while training to become a professional tour guide here in San Antonio!

Just called and left a voicemail for my rep, Chip Roy (TX-21). Doubt it will do any good, but I hope the young female staff member whose voice was used to give directions asks the congressman to do the right thing and vote YES on House Resolution 581. #WomenUnited

Democratic hoax, my eye! More than 100 survivors showed up to dispute the 🍊🍕💩’s claim. (Less than 10% of the total number of survivors.) Release the list, Republicans! End the cover up now.

The TOGETHER WE RISE march today in downtown San Antonio was the shot in the arm that I needed! Americans coming together to peacefully protest the sad state of our country and to demand adherence to our laws made getting out in the sweltering heat completely worth it. @bexardems.bsky.social #50501

I will be at Paper Trail tomorrow (Sunday, July 20) with my prima, @atelierredbud, from 11-7 at The Rock Box, 1223 E. Houston. FREE admission! Bring money, though, to buy fabulous art (and my book) from talented regional artists. One day only! DO NOT MISS IT. Always blown away by the art/artists.

Henry Cuellar represents TX-28, from San Antonio to Roma, a four-hour, 240-mile drive. Cuellar is a Democrat in name only. Republicans have him bending the knee. I hope his cowardice backfires in 2026. www.kut.org/politics/202...

That he uses his mug shot as his official portrait that’s hung in every federal building tells you all you need to know about him. He’s proud of his criminality.

I have a sticker on our @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social that reads, “Any book worth banning is a book worth reading.” I bought it at @nowherebookshop.bsky.social in San Antonio, Texas. As Oscar Wilde's said, "The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame." #AMEN

Early voting starts on Tuesday. I finished assembling all of my door hangers, courtesy @bexardems.bsky.social, to distribute to my precinct tomorrow. Local (municipal) elections have BIG impact. Do not sit them out! #VOTE

Sage advice from the @angrystaffer.bsky.social. I would also add: Volunteer to be a precinct chair. We are the foot soldiers who give our 💙neighbors voting information! Great way to meet like-minded folks and get your steps.
