It’s actually really funny when FOB’s We Didn’t Start The Fire comes on and you hear the “Texas Failed Electric Grid” line.

Not visible to the public is the fact that this administration has alienated some of the strongest organizers I know. And here I mean those who focus on electoral organizing.

It would be nice if the aging president stopped funding a genocide and stopped being coddled by white people who can apparently only perceive one problem at a time.

With almost as much uncertainty as humidity in the air, the Houston area should be prepared for possible severe weather from #Beryl on Monday, depending on which way Beryl goes in the next day and a half. Minor winds or hurricane gusts. A few inches of rain to 5-10 inches - or more. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You’re so persuasive! I’m sure since your actual goal is to engage potential voters, you’ve found condescension to be an effective strategy. I wish you well in your endeavors. May you receive everything you deserve.

If they’re comfortable killing other people, they will eventually be comfortable killing you. You can learn that lesson the easy way or the hard way.

The administration could use Netanyahu's visit to announce that it will no longer send arms to Israel and could stop running interference for genocidal Israel.

It's almost like millions of people had it right about policing in the U.S. a few years ago before they were fearmongered and demagogued into the status quo.

As my comrade Cheryl Rivera has correctly written: “There is no resistance to capitalism that has not been met with batons.” If you don't deal with policing, policing will deal with you.

I'm not trying to be flip here but is Doggett also planning to step aside? I think this is a good time for a lot of these folks to retire from office.

As July begins with a hot week, rain chances are on the low side but isolated showers and thunderstorms will still be possible. Hurricane Beryl should remain in the southern Gulf of Mexico this weekend, so it’s unlikely to affect our area. 🎉

reminder that there was a time when they were literally selling radium soft drinks in the USA that were so toxic that the biggest fan of the brand had to be buried in a lead coffin because of how much radiation poisoning he got from them and this death led to the FDA regulations that exist now

Beryl has intensified into a major Category 4 hurricane and will move into the Windward Islands tonight, approaching Jamaica by Wednesday, then head for the Yucatan. After that, its future is uncertain.
Invest 96L could bring more misery to areas already impacted by Beryl.

Human beings were not intended to be subjected to unfiltered constant commentary about everything they do or don't do. Yet this is the age of uninterrupted comments as humans are called "content" and "accounts". It's good to actively ignore 99% of them especially from strangers.

There are so many ways to do politics. If electoralism isn't your thing, there are other ways to struggle. Find some people to struggle alongside.

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you

And it's absolutely insane that this is even up for discussion because BEFORE Covid, plenty of people wore masks. Just not a large portion of the population. And no one cared. Mask bans are 100% a culture war bullshit stance, because masks work.

We have to boil our tap water before we use it for several days at a time, several times a year, minimally. If this is news to you, it’s time to start paying closer attention to how conservative politics are entrenched and spreading. We are not “red” - we are voter suppressed.
