Texas rural doc, former mayor, Democrat ran (lost) for Congress/state lege. Loves animals, the Earth, public schools, my hubby, honor & kindness. Fighting the Republican Russian mafia machine wherever I can.
Texas voter numbers on L2 data. Inquiring minds want to know. People who want to change things freaking vote.
It’s hot in East Texas. My dog Lila is no fool. An air-conditioning vent is a dog‘s best friend. Nothing like cool wind in your hair.
Happy Fourth of July! Prepping for the parade in Palestine. The Democratic group is always up for a parade!🇺🇸
BerdieMae’s got something to say about the Southern Baptist Convention. May it die the death it deserves.
I’m at the Sam Houston State Olsen Auditorium on 6.16.26 to honor Minnie Fisher Cunningham and the scholarship endowment to honor her. She ran for Texas Senate and Governor and got women the right to vote in Texas primaries. Founder of the League of Women voters. She changed the world.
While Jeff Bezos could not think of any better use to put his excess money than firing phallic symbols into space and yachting, his ex-wife is making a real difference in the world. She really was his better half.
Sylvia Collins was an Oakcliffe activist who died in an apartment explosion. Did Republicans “Charlie Kirk” her? My deepest sympathies to the family and my deep hope that this is investigated to the fullest extent of the law.
Here in Trinity County, Coty of Trinity at the Community Center hearing Holly Taylor, candidate for Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. She’s listened to the problems of the people that Trinity county and the obstacles they face living in a rural area. Bobby Tillman is next.
My grandcat Bailey is about to be euthanized in a city 100 miles away. I’ve taken care of her so many times while my son is away. She’s 18. I know it’s time but it’s still sad and I will miss her. This is her outside last night enjoying her last sunset.
Bobby Tillman for Texas State Senate District 3 just joined us. He went to the Houston County Commissioners court to speak out against giving the data center already approved there a tax abatement for 10 years. Thank you, Bobby. You won’t hear that from Republicans.
The whistle stop tour is working polling places today, which is the primary runoff. Go for Chelsea Hockett, Vikki Goodwin, and Joe Jaworski if you live in Anderson County
I don’t usually post religious things. But I just found out that a friend died in a car accident and then another friend sent this to me. I thought it meaningful to share. Stay safe in these troubled times, my Bluesky friends.
We had a great Whistlestop in Kaufman, Terrell and Forney Sat 5.23. We had an actual caboose to use in Forney. I’ll be posting videos. But you know I’m not great at this social media stuff so I’m doing my best Lieutenant Governor Candidate. Vikki Goodwin came. Please go vote for her on Tuesday.
We had our first Whistlestop last night in Waxahachie Texas. Our showcase Candidate spoke and she was wonderful, Holly Taylor, Candidate, Court of Criminal Appeals. Today we’re going to the veterans memorial in Kaufman at 10 o’clock. Then Terrell then Forney. Www.whistlestopeasttx.us Join us!
OK, one more post. I’m telling you this Bluesky is addictive. If you can get to Waxahachie on Friday, come by.
I was in DC earlier this week. I was reminded of what I believe in and why. Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights shown at their sanctuary in the National Archives. At least for now.
I failed to post in the last few days because I’m working on a Whistlestop tour across East Texas for democratic candidates to stop in every county starting next Friday. Please like, repost & share when it comes live. I’m actually terrible at social media, but I’m trying to learn.
My dog is cuter than yours and the average of my 3 cat’s is probably about the same. (My black cat spoils the average of my smart ones). (The middle girl princess)
Just visited Jasmine Crockett’s in DC. No luck seeing her. Sent a message to Zackary her scheduler. Hope to speak with her soon. I hope she’s doing well. It’s going to be a challenging year. I have only Republican representatives in Congress and my district in Anderson County Texas. No voice for me.
I never, ever thought I’d agree with Bill Kristol on anything. But here we are.
VOTE! in Texas. Early voting starts in 10 days for the primary runoff on the 18th. Election days the 26th. Get everybody you know who’s a democrat to vote in the primary run off. Or even if they’re not! If they didn’t vote in the Republican primary, they can vote in this. We need big numbers.
This a Florida Republican Instagram. Republican voters don’t like data centers. Republican donors DO love them, however. If Republicans are in power, you’re getting data centers and they’re gonna destroy the world. It’s not AI directly, it’s the technology behind it. Voters vs donors? Who wins?
Wonder what the Big Pharma return on investment is for this Republican vote? Wonder how much it cost to pay off the Republicans to betray their own constituents? Or maybe they just use the currency of blackmail. I can’t figure out why they hate Americans so much.
Connecticut has the most reps with five; New Mexico has three. The rest have two or one. They have the same number of US Senators or more as congressional representative. Tell me how you gerrymander that? Arc Search also gives me a different set of numbers for Republican voters. MAGA liars.
Please be concerned. We cannot lose to Republicans this midterm. They cannot steal this election like they did in 2016 and 2024. The Earth hangs in the balance.
