@3brothersbakery.bsky.social in Houston is running a cookie poll for our senate candidates. I got the last @jamestalarico.bsky.social cookie and they had 2 rows of Paxton cookies that no one wanted! 💙💙💙

More than 3 decades of republican control in Texas has led to this. I can verify that the lines at the food bank where I volunteer are getting longer.
Can anyone refresh my memory…do most authoritarians announce their coming coup on TV? Trying to make plans for Thursday night. 🤨
So when trump fabricates a national emergency and stops the elections in November, what’s the plan? I’m seriously asking. I mean, I can plan for 3 weeks without power (Houston…hurricanes) but honestly can’t even begin to figure this out.
His voice is bad enough without having to hear the giant gasps of air after every 3 words. 🙉
Wow, Ken Paxton’s defense attorney for his impeachment is now saying he is backing Talarico! 💙💙💙
Trump: I call all the shots. Netanyahu doesn’t call the shots. Israel: Literally shot missiles into Iran in response to trump’s delusional call.
I will save my celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence until the biggest foe of our independence is GONE. ❤️🤍💙
If Paxton is elected in November, I will give up all hope and leave Texas. I will not stay for the humiliation of being “represented” by this man.
So he didn’t go to junior’s wedding and didn’t go golfing and now we have shooting # 4. Who thinks any of these have been real? Tooth fairy, anyone???
Help me find it in the Bible: “Lord, raise up a conman to build a billion dollar ballroom!” Maybe it’s between welcoming immigrants and feeding the hungry??? 🤔
This is my 37th Mother’s Day without my beautiful, hilarious, passionate mom. She taught me early that fighting for justice was not an option, but a responsibility. Losing her in an accident created a forever longing in my heart to spend one more hour with her.
So now the TACO guy also serves NACHOs! *Not A Chance Hormuz Opens
Teachers, who have been practicing active shooter drills for 20 years, would have known what to do.
Trump just voted by mail…saying that voting by mail is one of main reasons for voter fraud. Did he just incriminate himself? 😂
Last day of early voting in Texas and the line at my polling place was out the door! GO BLUE!!! 💙💙💙
Just found out people are already putting together celebratory playlists for the big day when the whole world will be dancing in the streets.
Wait a minute, I’m a retired teacher and live in a very small home, but Scott Bessent thinks I have 10 homes? Who makes a comment like that regarding “mom and pop”? Help me understand.
This #CupOfJoe goes to Dave, of kris.and.dave (IG). He serving us some truth. ICE is a government sanctioned terrorist organization.
This morning I met a precious woman who will turn 65 in June. Until then, she has no medical insurance. 😔 We are two days into this “concepts of a plan” and folks are struggling.
To anyone in this administration: don’t you DARE call any of the people I respect to my deepest core the R word. Good grief. This should not have to be said.
I’ve taught middle/high school for 4 decades and when Pam asked, “Are you calling me a liar?” in that voice, I honestly laughed out loud.
“Mistaking cruelty for strength” is the summation of the republicans.

Can you imagine getting a postcard (and a cute one!!) from your teacher? I love Happy Dani!!!
When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.
ICE Agents Invade a Manhattan Little League Field
Youman Wilder has coached local kids for twenty-one years—including four who have gone pro. When masked agents tried to interrogate his players, he told them, “You don’t have more rights than they do....

I don’t know how many times Stephen Colbert has given me the only laugh of the day, and this is heartbreaking news to millions of us. I hope he will continue to be available, especially during the hard times, when his decent and truly good perspective is so needed. 💔
