Mersky's JournalI chipped in!
Will keep tabs on this race and mention it to a friend that lives close to, but not in the district - which contains the wealthy enclave of Fulshear.
Just listened to this for the tenth time since yesterday
Shared with a couple of people this afternoon. Am journaling to listen again later to his distinctively Texan drawl, eloquently speaking truth to power.
Maybe because it's been a day
Maybe because the mayor of NYC on 9/11/01, ugh, sigh, gag, tweeted a fascist propaganda video this morning.
Maybe because the tweeter-in-chief doesn't see me as a human because money never equated time in his upbringing.
Maybe because Deb Butler did what shouldn't have to be done in a governing body in the United States on the anniversary of the day we were simply trying to get out the door and stopped.
Maybe just because I saw the texture of the edge on the nearly full moon, I remain heartful.
Nonetheless, my blood boiled, too.
I am outraged by this stunt
This fraud the republicans in the North Carolina General Assembly pulled on 9/11.
Thank you, Deb Butler, for standing up for democracy.
To Speaker tim moore and the meatheaded, good ol' boy, frat scene fuckfaces that voted, aye, y'all are officially on my shit list.
I will donate against them and some companies shall hear from me:

Cannot get enough of this guy. Recommended.
All of his videos are information packed with belly laughs included. His description of tRump is not to be missed. I'd repeat it here, but would rather not be a spoiler.
I'll be on the lookout for those
Will share this with a few people in areas more likely to receive such ads.
I still like it.
I don't find him insincere. Jabs of truth elicit thought, and I'm fine with that. Sometimes, I have to laugh to get through something hard, and onto actionable knowledge. I don't have to agree with everything in a presentation to get something out of it.
Didn't really strike me as stand up, but to each their own.
I think the David Hogg segment is profound. I'll be sure to rewatch it with my inner circle.
Soph, you've made the stakes very real
Thank you for sharing your insight and perspective. I'm gonna contemplate how to overcome my news blindspots. There's so many plates spinning these days, that it isn't enough to only stare at the ones closest to my navel.
Helps to steel myself against those, foreign and domestic, who are working to upend peaceful order.
I'm looking up and out, and the view is not normal.
Gotta share one of my go to hurricane prep items
Walkie Talkies
Can be indispensable when the power goes out/cell service drops or if your family evacuates in more than one vehicle (which I do not recommend if you can avoid it).
Used such after Ike, and while driving in tandem to my SO for the 8 hour long, 50 mile trek before Rita. We got separated by a couple miles for some of those hours, but could communicate despite the pegged cell service.
Keep your wits, prepare, do things methodically, know the evacuation plan, and do not panic evacuate like we did for Rita. I'll be in contact with a good friend in Florida, will share his takes on the situation later today/tomorrow. He's, eh, seasoned in dealing with FL hurricanes.
Best wishes for y'all, hang in there, and stay safe.
Was trying to remember who had a questionable connection to DB
The firehosing of corrupt entanglement salad that defines the tRumpian years is a bit much for one person to track.
Thanks for posting this, Snarkopleptic. As has been the case countless times for me over the years, I'm better informed for reading DU.
