Doomed to see the future and not be believed. A leftist in Texas. Hoping to meet my demise through petting a bear. Feral and petty.

Congressman Al Green Invites Students in the Ninth Congressional District of Texas to Participate in the 2025 Congressional Art Competition. The deadline to enter is April 17, 2025.

Going through a divorce is not for the faint of heart.

Republicans: [hands giant piece of their constitutional authority and dignity to Trump] Trump: [cackling, starts to walk off] A DOOR SLAMS OPEN. The DEMOCRATS are standing tall in the door, their shadows cast long and defiant. Chuck Schumer: STOP! Trump: ? Schumer: you forgot this piece

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

My dog barked herself hoarse while we were gone. I feel awful, but she would be an awful camping dog.

I really thought Brexit was going to be the defining act of national self-sabotage of our times, but I spoke too soon

A couple days in the woods without modern amenities and I'm ready to rejoin the fight.

I am surrounded by so many people who have notified their cars, trucks, and motorcycles to be loud AF and that's why I understand that "a quiet place" is a horror movie to some.

It's not about "saving money".

I would love to support sane, empathetic, and living Texans who own HipCamp sites or are on VRBO, etc. If this is you or you know someone, send me the deets and I'll compile a list to share.

Our media is complicit. They simply say that Al Green was telling, but NOT that he was telling about cuts to SS and Medicaid.

This is very efficient and a great use of taxpayer money, unlike the FDA, which is only keeping our food safe.

They removed images of the Enola Gay because it had the word "gay" in it. That's utterly insane these insecure fascists are.

The erasure makes me livid. I see you, I hear you, you exist, you are valid, you are worthy and wonderful.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

I'd wager that most Americans (the colloquial term for the country as well as the residents of the continent) feel the same.

@coolzonemedia.bsky.social I want Andrew Ti to be a more frequent guest!

It's time to elect folks who are going to bring this kind of energy against the Nazis in power.

@algreen.house.gov thank you for being a brave voice last night and for representing Texas so well! I'm so proud of you and thankful for your service.

They’re forcing federal workers back to offices that are going to disappear. Why? Because they’re shutting the government down. Permanently. People made fun of me for saying this a month ago. But here we are. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Once people are tired of asking nicely, shit starts getting done.

With mutual aid, anything we can do is a positive thing. This means we ALWAYS succeed when we are doing mutual aid.

Fuck yes, Texas! So proud of Al Green!

This is all you'll be missing when you boycott the SOTU.

The IRS manages 3,000 returns per employee, and collects $57m per employee. It's a hyper-efficient benefits administrator; its budget is 67 times smaller than the military budget. What are we doing here. (I mean, I know what we are doing here.) apnews.com/article/irs-...

As always, the cruelty is the point. This means you don't have to be civil to trump cult members.

It’s like we’re living in a fucked up modern day Oregon Trail. Ricky has polio Tommy was shot in school Bandits have run off with your social security Susan has died from an ectopic pregnancy You have died from a preventable disease Nazis have vandalized your grave

The horrors persist, but so do I.

Holy fuck. This is awful. I'm ready to wake up from this nightmare.

Y'all, I cannot express the guffaw I guffawed.

The response of AARP is quite surprising — they’re a 501(c)(4) with plenty of leeway on advocacy, and they’re sitting on more than $2.5 billion in net assets & annual revenues over $1.5 billion. If they’re not the prominent voice on this topic, who is?

I know a woman who is CONSTANTLY "embarking on a new [MLM] journey", and I guarantee she'd stick with one of she got paid, so yeah, social security is not a ponzi scheme, except for the fact that I've paid in and likely won't collect. But that's not new news.

So, apparently the rich people casino aka the stock market is taking a hit ahead of the tariffs. I'd feel bad but the money I have in that game (due to index funds from my retirement account because we demolished pensions) is negligible compared to the damage they are inflicting daily.
