If the GOP didn't feel those who don't subscribe to their ideology—in Texas—breathing down their necks, they wouldn't be this desperate. People need to remember that after Gov. Ann Richards, the GOP took over via cheating, & the Corp-DNC hasn't invested tangiblly in Texas since; they've forgone us.

America didn’t win its independence on ideals alone — it won it on credit, foreign loans, and the financial rivalries of Europe.
The Revolution wasn’t just a war. It was an investment — and empires were the ones buying in... 👍

At Oak Lawn United Methodist Church’s nativity, Mary and Joseph are silhouettes, surrounded by a chain link fence topped with razor wire. Their halos are old bicycle wheels. A shopping cart and two metal bins, frequently used by the unhoused as firepits, flank the scene.
Dallas church’s nativity evokes immigration detention centers, homelessness
“If telling the Christmas story honestly feels political, that says more about our moment than it does about the gospel,” Rev. Rachel Griffin-Allison, senior pastor at Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, said.

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.

Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.

He continues to be a national embarrassment.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

The idea is as old as western civilization: “The morbidly rich are born to rule the rest of us.”

And now, with a billionaire as president, 13 billionaires in his cabinet, and rightwing billionaires installing and spiffing
Is the Morbidly Rich’s “Brilliance” Just a Threat to the Republic?
In 11 months, we’ll have an opportunity to retrieve our democracy from the clutches of the morbidly rich, the ideologues who deify them (and have for millennia), & their bought-&-paid-for politicians…

Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.

The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies he’s telling about it.
