Our entire state is a dumpster fire 😒.

She made fruit filled Kolaches, and sausage ones will always be “pigs in a blanket” to me 💗. She used the Czech word too but mostly “pigs in a blanket” lol.

Also if you comment back with some blowhard bullshit I’m going to just block you because it’s obvious you are a troll.
People get to enjoy life, a tv show, a book without constant stupid crap like this.

Oh for sure. It’s totally broken in Texas. Mine is insane now, also car insurance and home insurance.

What exactly have YOU done? Because I am fully confident in the actions I have taken in the real world. It’s all documented and you can probably find my name in some local news articles, although it’s been a few years on that.
How about you? List your actions.

My grandma was pure Czech and used to cook from scratch so I know what real kolaches are 💗. Still have a lot of Schlitzkus and Hejl family members here in Texas.

💯. And how these right wing billionaires took over it’s Wilks and Dunn in Texas.
They started funding extremists in all these locals. School boards, SBOE, MUD districts, local city councils. Then moved to House and State reps, and now half our elected officials are batshit crazy.

It’s exhausting and stressful, but also brings some joy when you can give these folks a really bad day by publicly speaking at a board meeting about their hate filled, and very vocal, wives 😂.
Also CF gets a lot of local media attention that these trustees do not like.
comment in response to
post
I and and my advocate friends these garbage trustees are on a first name basis 😂. Lots of digging into their personal lives/jobs/backgrounds now and exposing. They are truly some horrible people - no mercy.
comment in response to
post
💯. And being done by tons of people.
CyFair was picked to be taken over by the extremists with money. Harris County R party officially endorsed, so did Ted Cruz. And they ran in non-partisan elections as Republicans.
But lots of media attention now and the heat is on these trustees. Good.

I live in CyFair ISD. $140 million dollars deficit, and we have also been taken over by Christian Nationalists sitting on our school board. Big win for them since it’s the 3rd largest in Texas with 118k kiddos 😢.

Same in Texas. Want to lower and/or do completely away with property taxes which, among other things, is used to fund public schools.

Notice how they keep bringing up Biden but it’s not landing like it used to 😂

Have managed to leave some messages with Cornyn. Hard to find a voice mail box that isn’t full. Cruz is always full. And Wesley Hunt phone answerer is an asshole.

Also lots of religion with some weird value system. So the dictatorship, king stuff isn’t going over well.
And paranoia about privacy. People don’t like Elon having their social security number. Conservative people really don’t like invasions into THEIR privacy.
comment in response to
post
Nah. It’s not about them growing a conscience.
It’s about the fact that their R politicians are about to vote to cut Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, cancer treatments, medical trials they are in, job losses.
And these R voters are mean - and they will eat their own.
comment in response to
post
Not talking about if they will change their votes to D right now. But the Rs are losing jobs too now, and their healthcare, and their SPED accommodations for their children. They are loud and will show to yell at their Reps. And hopefully put some fear into these R politicians.
comment in response to
post
Yes. And they are doing it right now in town halls across red states in red districts.
comment in response to
post
My head will explode if I hear one more D rep talk about the midterms.
They need to focus on today.
comment in response to
post
And the D politicians but not in such a threatening way. We just have to yell at them to freak them out, and it is slowly pushing these Ds to more action.
The Rs voters will take care of their own R politicians.
comment in response to
post
The goal right now is the make the Republican politicians afraid of their own R constituents. Forcing them to change their ways and do what’s good for the people - mostly in fear for their own lives.
They need to be scared of We the People, not Trump and musk. And there are a lot more of us.

lol. All good and cannot wait for the new book 😊.
comment in response to

We have a window where we all agree billionaires aren’t good, and the Rs are starting to distrust their Reps. Need to use it 😂.

👆. Also I’d be fine without a cell phone so my family couldn’t reach and track me 24/7 😂.

Also I’m watching Reacher right now because it’s a good show to pump you up for this fight for our country.
We need to fight - loudly and publicly. Actions, not just comments on social. Calling reps, showing to protests, talking to people. Make some “Good Trouble” out in the world.
comment in response to

FYI - y’all are pontificating to a mom who’s been called a “groomer” in public (multiple times) for standing up against book bans. I also live in Texas and have minority/LGBTQ kiddos.
Real world - we are allowed to find joy in all this insanity, or else we will lose our minds 😊.

Same 😂. Glad I never got around to reading any Gaiman.
comment in response to

I’m a super progressive woman and I’ve read all of the Lee Child Reacher books. They are very entertaining and it’s a huge dude kicking butt all over the place lol.
People get to enjoy life and everything isn’t political.
Except JK Rowling. Big fat nope on that hateful garbage person.

💯. I have biracial kiddos and one is LGBTQ, and I’ll fight for all of these kids. Don’t mess with us mama bears 💗💗.

He’s still alive? Dang it. Thought he wasn’t and that’s how I justify enjoying his books that I’ve owned forever. Guess I need to wait a bit.

Exactly 😂😂. And Rs are mean, instead of being scared of Trump/musk attacks they need to start being scared of their many constituents.

Still so amazed by the “looking over the shoulder”. Great investigative reporting 💗. Putting NYT/WAPO to shame.

Thank you. I had to skip to the end for the good stuff because too much bad stuff right now :(.
Would love to see a debate between Talarico and Abbott 😁.

Also prone to conspiracies and say they want govt out of their business (sure don’t practice this one in reality).
Elon having their social security number isn’t going over well 😁.

That’s good. The more the local news picks up all of this insanity the better, cause people really do trust their local news.

Yep. It’s impacting them directly now, not just the brown people 🙄. I’ll take it …. Sigh.
