Often snarky, unfiltered Blue dot in Texas, climate, fur babies, cooking, gardening, genealogy, & junk sales. I care deeply about the world I live in and everyone I share it with. Everyone has the right to live their best life. Love is love.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday

Do it scared, say it even if your voice shakes, just don't give up.

Courage isn’t loud; it’s the act of not giving up.

I bet you see real people like me, who love their country and all their neighbors, singing, marching, coming together, exercising our Constitutional Rights to express our outrage over the tyranny that has overwhelmed our nation. You will witness an amazing number of people peacefully protesting 🇺🇸

Mike Johnson on the No Kings Protests: “The Hate America rally that'll happen Saturday…I bet you see pro-Hamas supporters. I bet you you see Antifa types. I bet you see the Marxist in full display, the people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic.”

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.
