Michelle, you just dropped a holy gospel hotter than asphalt in August. Let the people say: We don’t wait for miracles. We make them.

This ain’t the season for saviors or cultish cosplay candidates. It’s for kitchen table prophets, parking lot philosophers, and TikTok truth-slingers with receipts and rage. Texas doesn’t need another hero—it needs a thousand pissed-off saints with clipboards and a Wi-Fi connection.

Beto is beautiful, but salvation doesn’t wear skinny jeans. It shows up in school board meetings and precinct maps, armed with facts, spite, and voter registration forms.

As for KP George? That ain’t a party switch. That’s a roach scurrying for the shadows when the kitchen light of accountability flips on.

So let’s bless the grifters as they flee. May they find exactly the level of spiritual warmth they deserve. 🔥

speaking of PL speakers, there is a small group of grizzled old men, picketing at Hulen and Bellaire in FTW ........"No kings, down with fascits,"..... no assist from anybody..

I suggested to TCDP we send picketer's to every Walmart with signs "Trump did this' . To do this u need an org that can manage 20 people and half dozen Walmarts....TCDP told me to drop dead.....so there u go.................

I hope you fully recover soon. I've learned the hard way that rest is vitally important to stay in the fight long-term. You can't do any good if you are laid up sick.

And about your friend who switched parties, I would suggest to Texas Democrats to hammer his corruption and party switching as a typical GOP thing to - "Democrats clean up GOP corruption while Repubs clean up with taxpayer money"

I think you're right about that. There are other "party switchers" who have ties to corruption. Perhaps tie all of them to GOP corruption and make it a point.

Also, thank you. 💙

Thank you for the shout out, Michelle! 🥺

And as I read this, I am contemplating how to cut down on this activism assignment because it is very hard work. I don’t regret it, no one does, but it’s very important to try to balance life, heath, work and relationships. Take care. Rest up. It’s ok if you don’t write for a little while. Hasta pronto!

1. I love Beto. But he has not shown he can win a statewide election.

2. You are a hero for talking to low-information Texans. Keep it up. I wish I had your patience and ability to educate them.

OMG! I have been so busy that I didn’t get to read this yesterday! Girl, you need to take “You” time! I told you that I do that. Learn from this older, wiser and balanced person. I give a lot to the BCDP but when it’s time for ME, I watch The View (taped) a taped Hallmark movie or meet friends for lunch. Or hangout with my grand children. Please put YOU first!

Don’t end up in the hospital, please. That first paragraph had me so sad and devastated. I would rather wait a week than have you get so sick and end up in the hospital. Capeesh? 🙏🏼 and good thoughts to you. Be well.

I read about this bastard with money laundering. Of course this fucking bastard decides to escape to the republican party to escape accountability cause of his disgusting actions of money laundering. I just got into contact with someone from the South Dakota Democratic Party. The same thing happened where their previous party chair embezzled funds when the biden campaign in 2020 provided them funding. Instead of taking accountability, she doubled down and she was then ousted out. However what was interesting that there was a 19 year old Native American who attempted to run for party chair but apparently the former chair lobbied her staff and vice chair to remove that person out of the candidate process and instead appointed her vice chair to run the South Dakota Democratic Party. Its not just him. There are a lot of democratic officials that are preventing so many young people to run these positions for "seniority" and greed. Also feel better Michelle!

💙 Thanks.

Also, the modern day Republican Party is an organization of corruption. They can have them.

Welcome back...Having spent more than a few day in a hosptial i judge em by the TV remote. Believe me if ur trapped in a hospital for t. 3-4 days you want the remote to work.

speedy recovery MD.

You hit my two talking points...the 1st being the most important. We Tarrant Dems have spent the last 30 years talking to each other and not voters or wann be voters...Everybody remembers the stories about how suddenly MAGA, or then Tea-party were running for school boards or PTA presidents...well it wasn't sudden....after 2 decades of that they own the joint.

We spent the last 2 decades waiting for Godo.....a book i have actually read but is really only useful for its title.

1st it was Wendy Davis, then Beto, then guns, then abortion rights and probably someone else i can't remember......and always the great brown wave.......

Today it is Bernie.

as we stood at the shore waiting for the liberal tide wave to break MAGA/ tea-party built their own Wet and Wild style wave machine.

Not only is the TCDP clown car full of drunken clowns w/o DL's , they will run over anyone who tries to steer em on to Success Ave. We could fix this, we won't.

For those who think the political machine is useless , in its current iteration in Tarrant County I agree. But it us essential.......a political party with well resourced pct. chairs and a leader who will make their prescience known can alert the some 50% who don't vote. Hard to win a seat in a non-gerrymanderd district whose voters are not already dialed into the prog message...

In TC the Opal Lee Industrial Complex has done an excellent job of promoting black issues......National Holiday? Need i say more.....But Blacks are only 15% of TC population and so cannot very likely capture all the vote of Latinos needed and who have no county wide political representation.......I couldn't say why TC Latinos can't be bothered but of course the polls tell us then aren't.

I was a one man search committee seeking a Latino Chair....not in name , but in actual experience,.,,,,either sale/marketing and organization and bi-lingual , That is uncool in the brains of the stultified self referential CEC and swap meet that is the Chairs' race.

So i will be candid, in the next few election cycles don't count on Tarrant county and its 350,000 Dems for anything.

394 new millionaire in 2024........probably in ur town there are newly built McMansions and McEstates that have popped up in the best N/H. There is a way for find out how they got the money to afford those crass displays of wealth....cause most have about 1.2 kids.....

In FTW the new miionaire/billionaire class is not oil and gas. or railroads or mfg , or even tech...

its the money biz class...........people getting rich fiddling with other peoples money........basically salesmen...........bringing no value and few jobs
