I have a high school diploma from 1969. Here's what I know. In Texas there are roughly 29,145,505 people per the 2020 Census and 38 Congressional seats. Each seat should be representing about 767,000 people.
I'm pretty sure with a good demographics map, I could draw up 38 sections of the state...

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

President @barackobama.bsky.social is back on the campaign trail and it’s a reminder of how much leadership grounded in hope and decency still matters today.

I worked for him during some of his toughest fights, and the lessons I learned about public service & perseverance are still with me today.

I remember hearing this trickle-down bullshit too often in the ‘80s.

I also heard @brucespringsteen.net
during his Born in the USA Tour speak out against Reagan’s policies. Some people booed, some left. No matter, Bruce knew he had to speak out.

1. Teaching history with integrity means asking honest and difficult questions. I framed my lesson with the question: “was President Woodrow Wilson a racist”. A lesson of deep engagement where my students answer for themselves. It is called “teaching”! So proud of my students. 👨🏽‍🏫✊🏾🇺🇸

The problem seems to be that these fuckers DON'T actually know the law. Following and recording isn't interfering in any way, shape or form. She's just observing.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes

“Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans are set to stop amid the shutdown—while the Trump administration refuses to use contingency funds already approved by Congress. Trump also gave up key concessions to China at the APEC Summit. And four GOP senators broke ranks to limit his trade powers.

SNAP benefits set to run out. China gets better of Trump on trade. Senate Republicans rebuke Trump's tariff authority.

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.

Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 2d

In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.

No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.

We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.

NEW: More than 100 federal judges have now rejected the Trump administration’s new policy to lock up nearly everyone facing deportation — including 12 judges appointed by Trump, according to a POLITICO analysis.

Only 2 judges have sided with ICE.
