Elise B. @rantingfloof.bsky.social · 09/03/2026In Texas, cheating in a fishing tournament carries a penalty of up to a $10,000 fine and a decade in prison. Sad how we treat fishing crimes as more serious than raping and trafficking young girls in the United States.

Elise B. @rantingfloof.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I am quite cheerful this morning as I think about the millions that the GOP will have to waste on the run- off between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. That's money that won't be available for other races that they planned to support around the country. 100
Elise B. @rantingfloof.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Is anyone else wondering why the No Kings organizers did not put out a call for a protest now? Instead, it appears this is to be rolled into the protest already planned for March 28. Our politicians need to see us filling the streets NOW or else they will believe we don't care about this new war. 100

Elise B. @rantingfloof.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Our local Dem party had to oust the chair for misuse of funds, and the Repubs are gloating. I keep pointing out that we need to say loudly that we don't tolerate misdeeds and have handled it. Others want to bury it so "we don't look bad." Trying to hide this makes us look like Republicans. 010

The day after #NoKings and you've moved on, highlighting Friday night football scores and information from earlier in the week.

Elise B. @rantingfloof.bsky.social · 18/10/2025It takes a special type of delusion to look at the turnout for No Kings rallies and think, "More people think Republicans are right." If people really felt that way, Republicans wouldn't need to use underhanded tactics to hang on to power. 020

Elise B. @rantingfloof.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Just 6 more minutes until all of us Central Texas antifa types engage in a radically peaceful protest in #BeltonTX. Organizers say we will be singing and dancing, so you can see we are incredibly radical and subversive. In a display of true blueness, we are even singing Lean On Me. Such radicalism! 020
Elise B. @rantingfloof.bsky.social · 18/10/2025The Republicans may think older white people are their base, but looking at the crowd growing around me...yeah, they need to rethink that. At least half of the crowd who showed up early in very red Belton, TX, is white and 50+. Could a blue wave be growing? #NoKings 031
Elise B. @rantingfloof.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Belton ,TX, crowd has been gathering since about 2:00. Our protest starts at 3:00, so it's great to see all of the early birds. #NoKings #Belton 030
