More than 1.2 million Texans' voter registrations were suspended. Check here to make sure you are still registered to vote in Texas: www.texas.gov/living-in-te... If you have been removed here is what you need to do: www.kxan.com/news/texas/w...

What to do if you’ve been wrongfully removed from voter rolls in Texas

An investigation from our media partners at the Texas Tribune highlights why all voters should confirm their voter registration status while there’s still time. The Texas Tribune, in partners…

Very important for Texans to stay up on their voting status and the dates to register.

Texans check your voter registration, especially those in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties. From the article: Suspended voter registrations span the whole state, but these Blue/Blue leaning counties are targets: Dallas: +129,000 Collin: 56,000 Denton: 56,000 Tarrant: + 73,000

Americans have been seduced by capitalism & brainwashed by “exceptionalism”. Keeping us numb to anything that doesn’t make us personally uncomfortable & keeps us hoping, not fighting, for the best to materialize. While the daily lives of most remain relatively the same, nothing changes. We are lazy.

Every word! We should be in the streets every day - boycotting - striking - getting arrested. Every MF day. We’re putting ALL our hopes in the midterms - will people rouse themselves to vote? Will T allow a fair vote and honor the outcome. Not bloody likely. We better be ready - for what comes 🗽🇺🇸

. The people of the original 13 states of the USA were fearful of a hateful demagogue rising one day to rule over them. They invented a Congress and Judiciary to check gross overreach of a tyrannical criminal Executive. In cowardice and self-interest, both have abandoned that sacred role. .

So much more than a Country Music Superstar. Philanthropist, humanitarian, defender of diversity & fierce advocate for the working class, she helped fund the Moderna Covid vaccine & donated 332+ million books to children. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.♥️ #RIP

She was not perfect but she had smarts, spine & grit; it showed in the outcomes Texas enjoyed under her leadership. The 34 years of complete GOP control at the state level since have brought us here. Texas, like the USA, is allergic to education if it doesn’t feed ignorance, racism & bigotry.

This is just amazing. You would think that Texans would want to get back to that level.

She was not perfect but she had humor, spine and grit and it showed in the state Texas was at that time. Our public outcomes have only declined under Republican leadership for the past 34 years.

Tasia Fortune, a 29-year-old Black woman was found dead hanging from a tree in Jackson 2 weeks ago. Racism in this country has reached a fever pitch! It's not okay & we must all speak out passionately against it! It's 2026 & we're seeing an epidemic of racial violence & murders. Lynchings, FFS!

This is absolutely wild. USPS is defending new restrictions on mail voting by comparing ballots to other types of “sensitive mail,” including replica explosives and cremated remains. The new rule would require states to use specific ballot markings and unique barcodes,

"I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents

I might be going out on a hunch, but maybe the employer should pay a living wage to their staff.

I haven’t seen this mentioned yet: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has a bilingual English-Spanish option. She supported the literacy of young Spanish-language readers at a time when Spanish and Spanish-speakers were increasingly being demonized in politics. imaginationlibrary.com/bilingual-pr...

They are literally taking away our ability to voice anything they don’t like.

Well, the Trump administration’s EPA found a simple way to stop hearing from the public just eliminate the requirement to ask them. The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.

More evidence for the "everything he touches dies" argument.

Yes, it should have been him over Dolly. But let’s be real, it should have been him over LITERALLY anyone. Him over the guy who died from fentanyl on the street. Him over 103 year old Ethel passing away in the nursing home. Him over that squirrel that got hit by a car.

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

remember: its not a data center its a surveillance data processing complex

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

It really is beyond disgusting that Infantino tried to sell International Football to Donald Trump and his mates, so he could cash in for millions for himself. And FIFA are just continuing on like nothing happened. Disgraceful, boycott FIFA.

Instead of fighting senseless wars, we should be fighting climate change. Instead of building data centers, we should be building housing. Instead of corporate welfare give us universal healthcare.

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels

More lying per the usual. In this case, grifting credit for things done by others.

We’re all getting screwed—Democrats and Republicans alike. The billionaires who run this country don’t care about your politics, they only care about their profits. They don’t see Red or Blue—they see Green. They see us as one opposing team. So we might as well act like one.

NEW: Internal National Park Service records obtained by MeidasTouch’s Scott MacFarlane reveal more than $400 MILLION has been steered toward Trump’s White House and D.C. projects, while funding for major national parks is being slashed.
