I used to find Texas amusing but after 50+ years living here ... I no longer do.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Texans: Make sure you are registered to vote. Being on the voter suspense list does not mean your voter registration has been purged. It simply means that local officials need an updated address before October 5th – the voter registration deadline in Texas.

Woke this morning with the phrase 'GOP is a Death Cult' on the forefront of my mind. Without listing all the exemplars that support this label, here are a few: 1. the citizenry are exposed to widely available tainted food and more expensive food of any kind; 1)

6. the Cult encourages illiteracy and a slavish acceptance of Cult doctrine; 7. the Cult assigns brood-mare status to all women of child-bearing age and abandons any others to medical mistreatment, domestic and corporate abuse, and death; 6)

8. the Cult places military contingents in communities and authorizes/encourages them to imprison and/or kill community members without repercussion; 9. the Cult reveres its leaders, the highest of which are either already dead or actively dying. End)

This is a chance Texans may not see again for a long time. Talarico will serve the state. He will honor the office and his oath. Service means something to him. He is a leader in ushering in new and better candidates. Texas, come on, vote this man into office.

Maybe it's just where I am in my many-years life right now, but I really enjoy Bluesky. I get all kinds of interesting, new stuff to learn about, to be sad for, and to laugh at. Wouldn't give that up for less online exposure. I also read hundreds of library books a year and am grateful for it all.

Phone just presented CNN news clip " ... recent poll indicates Republicans hold a significant lead over Democrats on voter trust regarding critical issues such as the economy, immigration, and crime... suggests a challenging outlook for Dem in upcoming elections." How can I tell if this is accurate?
