Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Thank you for the beautiful pic!
The moon shines on the just and the unjust.
There is comfort in knowing she will shine long after the struggles of today are forgotten as the dusts of history.

Just a reminder: if you’re a chronically ill or disabled voice actor, I see how hard you’re working and you’re awesome.

It is a hard road, but make no mistake that your perspective and experience is valuable and needed.

Take care of yourselves, and keep going.

Personally I think it’s bad that the man exercising the powers of the presidency was a deranged lunatic before he began obviously suffering some sort of dementia and being fed false and outdated information by scheming advisers. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me.

I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

MAGA version of taking the ball and going home to seethe alone in the basement about how unfair the world is to you and you alone because everybody hates you but it's not your fault, nothing is your fault, EVER and why do they all laugh at me and call me a chud?
IT'S NOT FAIR, MOMMY!!!

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Gov. Pritzker has a real opportunity here. He can continue to resist, and protect his citizens. Or he can cave.
If he resists he can be the center of a real resistance movement in the US to fight back this tide of madness.

I think Democrats quickly sound a lot less vague and a lot more compelling when they fight for all the people of a particular area, as opposed to appealing to the national neoliberal concept of order -- one that many people have learned will sell them out when convenient
