ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I would also say that here in Texas, this isn’t an “immigrant community” issue. These folks are our neighbors, relatives, students, classmates, church friends, work colleagues. 040
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 05/09/2026And government has appealed. Infuriating that our tax dollars are being spent trying to make it harder for us to vote. 0225
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I realize Joey’s post was about tech sector, but NYT gives very difference impression of whether jobs report is terrible or great. 110
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I am confused. NYT just posted a great news headline? 100
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 30/08/2026In Dallas at a VR event at a library y’day. TX requires paper apps, (no online) & I can’t tell you how many people made the comment that “they” were dropping people from rolls, rejecting applications, etc., etc. Rightly or wrongly, the most common comment was that “they” are trying to cheat. 021
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 17/08/2026It’s also maddening that when they do look to Rs, it’s two women senators. Tough guys, those R senators are. 000
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 13/08/2026As someone who VRs in Texas, I hear stories of students whose vote by mail failed, even w/ conscientious parents helping. The overall 12% MIB rejection rate in TX grows w/ factors such as students getting their “mail station” wrong, mail services returning unretrieved ballots after x days, etc 060
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Thank you. We Are working our tails off down here. 051
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Does this mean a president could fire the entire executive branch or departments, minus the Fed Reserve Board? 181
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Non-attorney here. Does this ruling mean that, hypothetically, the president could fire the entire executive branch except for the Federal Reserve Board? 170
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Thanks again to you all for explaining. Sure seems like a system that’s been too easily manipulated. Grr. 041
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 24/06/2026So is Mark Pittman the re-assigner? And he does this because DOJ asked him to? 121
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I am not an attorney and don’t know how assignments work. Aren’t DOJ and the courts separate branches? Trying to understand how DOJ has the authority to assign courts. 231
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Does this reverse the ruling two days ago by the 3-judge panel? 020
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Yay, Texas.

ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Well, I’m one of those Texans, and I spent four days last week, including my Saturday, out registering voters, since we don’t have online VR here, and I will continue into the insanely hot days coming up. 0100
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 31/03/2026I have read the order and it seems to me it just clogs the system. Why furnish each state a list of citizens at least 18? Won’t that include people who don’t register? And citizenship is already verified by SOS. And why pull in USPS? Looks like just mucking up the system. 020
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 22/03/2026It’s also going to display ICE to a whole bunch more people. 0140
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Any reporting as to whether they will be wearing masks? 010
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 04/03/2026www.texastribune.org/2026/03/03/j...texastribune.orgDallas extends voting hours after location changes pushed by GOPDallas and Williamson counties closed centralized voting centers, which had become a common practice, at the request of local Republicans. 010
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Voting has been extended until 9 in Dallas County. Things are quite the mess. 110
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Just read there are about 4.2m public and private k-12 teachers in the U.S., so $476 per teacher just in two days. 020
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I am reminded of his daily briefings at the beginning of COVID. He thought, of course, the being in the limelight daily would serve him well. As I recall, it drove home to a broad audience that he was in over his head, to put it nicely. 120
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 01/03/2026This reminds me of the COVID updates he gave. Being in front of the camera giving updates on something people cared about did not serve him well. 030
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Not at all, which is sort of my point. Why speculate on what’s driving him? If he was 6’2” would we speculate on what was driving him? He’s just a jerk. Let that be the point. 000
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Not a point to belabor, but I think that the fact that he’s a jerk stands on its own—relating it to height is unnecessary. 100
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Relating someone’s courage to their height is offensive and silly—look at Trump. 100
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I would like to learn more about this stat. In Texas, we do not register by party, so I am wondering how this number was determined. Having said this, absolutely voting (and registering) in TX is intentionally burdensome. 010
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 25/01/2026I am calling my R state rep as well…R for whom I am a constituent. I want party action. And I will be calling all of them every day. 000
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Same with Ted Cruz. Last time this happened was when Rs were trying to revoke the ACA. Senators’ lines jammed for days. 030
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Pet peeve here is that it seems these are almost always scheduled for downtown for city after dark. I know I know…may I should organize a suburban event. But truly think the No Kings effectiveness is in part due to smaller protests in LOTS of places. 020
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Maybe I chose the wrong word, but I think the protests being in so many cities has been a positive and made the point that people in every area of the country are “getting it.” To me, I would love to see THAT grow. More cities. 020
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Curious as to why DC? It seems to me that some of the success of protests this far is that they have been in SO many places. 110
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 07/01/2026I feel like we get sucked into trying to have a rational discussion or debate with a psychotic person. That plus the inner circle that is making money basically off of “insider trading” on cons, with cost to be born by the rest of us. Latest: oil co. prices up temporarily for quick profits for a few 010
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Yeah and the most consistent voting block. What a dumb move. 010
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 09/10/2025And recruit 3 never-rallied-before friends to join you! 010
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 03/10/2025I think it’s weird that he is increasingly front be center as speaker. He is an aide, an advisor. 000
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Also seems like we need a huge movement to reach people who are uninformed. Billboards? Flyers everywhere? Ideas? 000
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Well, as a woman, I cannot imagine anyone being attracted to such a groveler. Super ugh. 080
ccmpln.bsky.social @ccmpln.bsky.social · 22/08/2025Interesting that he avoids saying that there is a crime or even probable cause, though I guess a judge would have signed off? 010
