Often snarky, unfiltered Blue dot in Texas, climate, fur babies, cooking, gardening, genealogy, & junk sales. I care deeply about the world I live in and everyone I share it with. Everyone has the right to live their best life. Love is love.

Missing 15-year-old autistic child found detained by ICE since the 5th of October. He was helping his mother and had just gone to the restroom when ICE abducted him. Seems like a nonverbal autistic kid. 😠

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a Missing Person. It Was an Abortion Investigation.

They searched 83,345 cameras to find the woman so they could arrest her and prosecute her self-managed abortion as a potential homicide.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

⚡️ UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Rep. Justin J. Pearson & Rep. Gabby Salinas send letter putting Gov. Bill Lee on notice that his deployment of the National Guard to Memphis violates the TN Constitution.

Lawmakers ask Governor for community investments to eradicate poverty instead of military occupation.

I think Halligan is failing to give all the info. Which is why Comey has said he’s filing a motion to dismiss on abuse of the grand jury process. I’m guessing though.

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.

But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭
