Why this obsession with expansion? Can’t a small business just stay small, do what it does well, and share increased revenues with its employees- or drop prices to better support its customers in hard times?

I voted in the Texas Amendment election here in Bastrop. Some stuff you might want to vote against there if you are pro checks-and-balances and against corporate greed and racism. If you want a cheat sheet, here is mine, being as progressive as I could with the knowledge I had. #Texas #Elections

Pray for my family, among the lawless terrorists in the #Austin #NoKings rally. (Sarcasm)

I once lived in Carrboro! Now in a smaller Texas small town. We too rallied! Good to see smaller communities doing their part.

Pretty good turn out for #NoKings in #Bastrop Texas. More people trickling in to rally point. Exciting to have a new candidate Clayton Tucker for Texas Ag Commissioner here with us.

My somewhat bad punny signs for Bastrop, TX No Kings day (context: we are known as the “Lost Pines” area due to being in an area with pines normally only seen in Eastern Texas.)

One of many great Bob Dylan songs from that era. Also this one resonates with the current era:

“The Who”? You mean this one? Apt!

Dear Western World,

A bit slow to respond- but I’ll take it.

Oh and these absolutely dictatorial, racist/LGBTQ+phobic nuggets.

Wow. 😮 Everyone needs to read the WH statement- not just the summary. It is truly awful and aims more to punish anyone whose funding is not expressly in line with MAGA worldview. The irony in this part is quite painful.

I was today years old when I found out I share a birthday with JD Vance. 😬

Does also sharing a birthday with James Baldwin negate this in any way?

Because racism before humanitarianism before bipartisanism. Welcome to Texas, even the corruption’s bigger here.

Also, this open corruption/racism seems viscerally worse than the usual hidden stuff. I have my ideas, but what are your thoughts on why that is?

I love that Brazil is all like, “Yeah, no” to Trump. But what’s up with this “defying” BS? Since when does the Trumpyre have the right to exert power over other nation’s justice systems? Let’s try language like: “the Brazilian courts held firm in the face of Trump’s unwarranted demands.” Do better!

And yet again they have enabled the continued destruction. Even if not “final” it allows a dismantling that will be hard to fix once we get these awful, heartless people out of office.

Yet another really bad decision. As a former teacher, I worked with parents as best I could to allow options for kids who were allowed to celebrate certain holidays. That was difficult enough. Now they’ve opened the door to any reason to “opt out”! Believe me: teaching is hard enough already.

I can’t even! So now we will now have how many thousands of people without a nationality? So will you have to be born light skinned to be a citizen, or will vowing your undying love to the Orange King be enough?

We need enough of these whistleblowers to make a FIFA referee want to cover their ears - Bravo Mr. Reuveni!

From NYT article about Reuveni’s claims: “Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order,”

Like…if you like sign your name with your title like at the bottom of the tweet - it like TOTALLY makes like EVERYONE respect you. Duh!

Cowards. I think they didn’t want the world to see how unpopular this administration is in Abbott run Texas. I hope people take to the streets around the Capitol, anyway.

@indivisible.org So proud of Bastrop, TX, population 10,500, for showing up for #nokings! I wish I could have gone, but we both have Covid.
