For some reason I suddenly started getting sponsored ads on IG from Leigh Wambsganss, a Trump-endorsed candidate for TX senate district 9 (my district).

Am I reporting these ads to IG as promoting “organized crime”? Why, yes. Yes, I am. And it’s the truth at this point.

I’m so used to seeing insects in amber, it’s so nice to see a plant!
My favorite part is when Halligan tells Anna to write her own story and pursue her own leads and then when Halligan finds out Anna IS writing a piece and SHE is a source, she’s like WTF. 😅 These morons are doing this to themselves.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Absolutely this. None of them can keep their mouths shut or keep their cool when they encounter anything they consider mildly stressful. And it’s because they know they’re not qualified and have to compensate.
This is amazing.

My big takeaway is that a lot of these Trump appointees, and definitely Lindsey Halligan, are desperately insecure about how stupid/unqualified they are for the positions they hold.

Which just tells me we should talk about it more.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: they say protestors are paid because money is the only thing that MAGA values. Money and power are the most important things and they cannot comprehend any set of morals outside of that worth standing up for.
George Soros paying protesters is like Elon Musk paying voters, except the Elon Musk payments are real.
We ran into Bandelier & Painted Desert being closed (understandable as both are sensitive sites), but Utah and New Mexico seemed to be otherwise open. Glad y’all are getting some time away.
I have 3 hypotheses:

(1) No Repub actually knows who George Soros is.

(2) George Soros is an entirely fictional MAGA boogeyman. Possibly a cryptid.

(3) We are all George Soros.
Oh hell no. Spotify just keeps getting worse and worse. I guess I’m finally going to cancel.
credit to @wajali.bsky.social for telling the world about these ICE ads on Spotify and telling God to cancel.

I’m confused. Which crimes get you deported and which crimes get you elected president? No kings in Fort Worth.

Look, if they/we eat waffles that are not Texas-shaped they/we get indigestion, ok?

(I’m not from TX but they keep trying to claim me since I’ve been here 24 years now.)
From a month ago. SEE I KNEW IT. 😅 I had a really weird, uneasy, vague feeling right before this trip, but like in *addition* to my usual trip anxiety. My intuition is almost never wrong.
If there was a graph comparing my level of excitement for an upcoming road trip and my level of anxiety about all the things that could go wrong before/during said road trip, the line would be the same.

Annnyway, looking forward (?) to seeing Utah again soon after about 10 years away.
It needs a glass of ice water and some time in the shade to cool down. 😅

Thank you. Yes, definitely, they have never cared for any of us, only about amassing more power for themselves. Unbelievable how many people here still think Trump is on their side.
It was really gorgeous. I mean, it was foggy/rainy the whole time but still stunning!
We knew it was probably inevitable, but he was a few years from the option of early retirement and we were hoping he could hang on at least until then.
Just got back from a 10-day road trip. While on a trail in Bryce we found out my husband was one of the 4k+ federal employees laid off last week, making it simultaneously a great trip and a really horrible one.
Yes, even from a pure pragmatic standpoint, it’s absurd to expect anyone in an emergency situation to stop and make sure they have all necessary (whatever that will mean) paperwork.
This isn’t a problem for this administration, unfortunately. Those few (if any) who have any morality left don’t have to see it with their own eyes, and the rest of them it wouldn’t bother watching someone suffer anyway. Either way, not their problem. Only a problem for people with a conscience.
So Karoline if someone arrives at the hospital, bleeding out, how does this work? They must have their papers? Does this apply to everyone? Do nurses just stand there and watch people die unless they can prove immigration status? Which papers are acceptable? Seems like the ER will be quite busy.
Makes sense. She seems like she knows her audience well, and I think I’m probably just not it.
I don’t have strong feelings about Taylor Swift either way (she’s fine, but I don’t actively listen to her), but maybe I’m missing something b/c I keep seeing people proclaim she’s an incredible songwriter and I’ve just never gotten that impression from the stuff of hers that I’ve heard.
I feel like I might be the only other person on Bluesky to absolutely understand what you’re referring to. That’s one pretty niche reference!
