@davidrayruiz ive tried about a million of these and native has truly been the best/most accessible ive tried

[julie @JulieSpen]

sorta like when they tried to unseat our elected sheriff a couple years back. they’re posturing get votes and don’t even believe in it themselves.

Texas AG and Governor who say they espouse republican ideals of minimal higher level government interference haven’t ever been able to help themselves interfere with our loca government. https://t.co/k1vulcTMTr

[julie @JulieSpen]

because what they mean is they won’t bother the local governments as long as those local governments fall in line behind them.

I sure hope there is PTSD counseling for people who have been stuck inside their homes without power for a week, with frigid temperatures, plus now no food or water. The personal stories in my inbox are replete with trauma.

[Fort Bend County Judge Daniel Wong @FBC_Judge]

Why is our Governor on FOX with political hacks complaining about...windmills? I invite him to visit 90 yr olds in Fort Bend w/o heat, water, or power on O2 tanks. Stop the rhetoric. We need leadership, not empty presidential ambitions. We already have empty power grids...

[JenHatmaker @JenHatmaker]

Governor Abbott blamed wind and solar power for the catastrophic blackouts in Texas. 90% of our power comes from fossil fuels. He projected this failure onto the impending Green New Deal.

All on Hannity.

This tells you everything you need to know about Texas leadership.

[julie @JulieSpen]

this texan isn’t willing and he can f all the way off. https://t.co/1dtA1lwlVY

[julie @JulieSpen]

blaming other people while refusing to reflect on his own culpability and policies is peak @GovAbbott behavior. this catastrophe is as much on him and Texas GOP policy as it is on @ERCOT_ISO.

[julie @JulieSpen]

i hope texas gives up ERCOT for lent.

Truly maddening to hear Mitch McConnell warn of “nightmare” if Dems abolish filibuster when he already killed it to put 3 Trump justices on Supreme Court & confirmed Amy Coney Barrett 8 days before election when 65 million had voted after blocking Merrick Garland for 237 days

is there any other way to put the duvet back in the duvet cover or just the classic way - sweating profusely for 7 mins, cursing loudly, and flapping it angrily to even out the duvet within the cover?

[julie @JulieSpen]

we have two systems of justice and it is wholly unfair.

[Eliza Orlins @elizaorlins]

Trump spent the final days of his presidency sending incarcerated men and women to their deaths.

He also spent them pardoning white nationalists, like Steve Bannon.

One system for the powerful and well-connected; another system for everyone else.

Let’s put an end to it.

if we don’t face the truth about who we are then we will be doomed to repeat the same mistakes again and again. https://t.co/IyjwIRbs7P

It actually takes two impeachments to vaccinate against Trump
