I apologize if my tweets about my dog become annoying. I realize there is far more acute pain being inflicted on our brothers & sisters in other parts of the world. And I empathize completely.
I've lost one of the few souls that helped me cope with it all. You woulda loved him.

So, abortion is murder, but don't have kids if you can't afford them. But if someone who can't afford kids gets pregnant because natural family planning FAILED, then have the kid they cannot afford because abortion is murder. Gotcha.
They'll arrest Brett for being a loud, angry parent of a child murdered in his classroom, but stand by and sanitize their hands while listening to his son be slaughtered.
Ask me why I don't trust cops.
🚨Breaking News🚨
Activist and guardian Brett Cross arrested at Uvalde County Commissioners Court meeting after confronting Mariano Pargas. This video was taken by Berlinda Arreola as Cross was being arrested outside. **language warning**
@ksatnews
If you love me, and I die in a shooting, do not grieve quietly and respectfully. Raise hell. Use my death as fuel to make sure none of our elected officials have peace.
I'm sick of this "don't politicize tragedy" mindset. Politicize tf out of it.
Fight back, damn it.
How about addressing the leading cause of death for children?
I'll give you some hints:
It isn't fentanyl.
It isn't drag queen story hours.
It isn't CRT.
It isn't the trans community.
Okay.... I'll just tell you.
It's fucking gun violence. Do something.
Texas schools are stepping up to help educate parents on deadly fentanyl.
It’s the leading cause of death for Americans 18-45.
Texas launched our
#OnePillKills
campaign last fall to raise awareness & educate Texans.
Tough conversations save lives.

If it were me, I'd refuse to have sex with him after the 2nd child until he gets the vasectomy. If he is placing the burden of birth control on you, celibacy has no side effects.
@neiltyson
"Chose to live where they can walk to work."
You mean can AFFORD to live where they can walk to work. Come on, dude. You're smarter than that.
@AITA_reddit
Yes. YTA. It's a single mom trying to survive, stretching herself thin in the pricess. You think she enjoys waking up at 5:30? Much less enjoys waking children up that early? Wear some fucking earplugs and get over yourself. Empathy isn't that hard of a concept. Try it sometime.
@ask_aubry
I had a cousin that was unnecessarily disrespectful to both me and my photographer on my wedding day. Coincidentally, there isn't a single good photo of my cousin from that evening. I never put much thought into it, but now I have to wonder.... 🤔
My heart is with the Uvalde families as they remember their last day with those they lost so senselessly 364 days ago. There are no words to express my sorrow for your pain. Thank you for fighting so hard for meaningful change. Your babies & their teachers will not be forgotten.
Thor came into my family with my husband when we got together. Upon moving in, he ate the right of my favorite pair of boots. 2 weeks later, he did it again.
On Sunday, he was buried with the right of my current fav pair. The left will stay with me forever.
Seth Altman killed a police officer in Texas overnight. As a result, every single cellphone in the state went off with a very loud Blue Alert at 4:25am.
That man is seriously so screwed. The entire state is sleep deprived and cranky and now knows his face.
I can't get that 6 year old boy out of my head with the broken ankle & the anti-masker dad. If his own father will let him suffer over something as petty as a mask, what kind of abuse is he enduring at home? My heart breaks every time I think about it.
@GregAbbott_TX
Disappointed to see Governor Abbott completely disregard the slaughter of children in their classroom and do literally nothing to prevent it from happening again.
All to own the libs.
My son asked for a laptop for his birthday.
I told him I couldn't afford one right now, but I would save and get him one before school starts.
His birthday is July 4th.
I just bought the laptop.
Nothing is going to ruin my day.

@BCross052422
So, you're going to be all mellow and super quiet if your kid gets murdered at school? Yeah? That's because you're a coward.
I came really close to losing someone in Allen. We couldn't locate her for almost 24 hours after the shooting. I was convinced for most of the day that she was among the dead.
She's alive. She's traumatized, but she's alive.
Y'all. I'm a weird mix of grateful & angry.
@WalshFreedom
Israel isn't being criticized for retaliating. They're being criticized for threatening to cut off food and water, an actual war crime. There is no justification for war crimes, no matter who commits them.
@itsbethbooker
I am so grateful to hear this. You don't know me whatsoever, but I've been obsessively checking for your updates. So, so, so happy to hear this outcome.
@iamharaldur
I'm so grateful the ministers stepped in. How awful. No one should be treated that way, much less an already traumatized disabled child. My mom heart is broken for him.
@LylePSchmee
@JohnFugelsang
But he did claim it. You are wrong. Just because he didn't actually follow the religion doesn't mean he didn't make the claim. What a weird hill to choose.
Sitting in the parking lot of the grocery store; mentally noting the location of every exit; plotting out multiple escape routes; and double checking the safety on the firearm I do not want to carry.
Just a normal day of running errands in Texas.
@QudsNen
Do you have evidence that American soldiers were on the ground? Not trying to be snarky. I'm genuinely asking. I'm an American, and I am deeply ashamed at the thought of our soldiers being involved in such a slaughter. Please, if you have evidence, let me see it.
I was asked to take down my little Mothers Against Greg Abbott sign by a neighbor that, ironically, has already lost one lawsuit I've had to file against him.
So, basically, I need a much bigger sign for my yard. Preferably one with expletives.
I should not know their names or have their faces burned into my mind. They're supposed to be strangers living their best lives far beyond the scope of my awareness.
But instead, I grieve for them.
Words failed me 1 year ago, & they fail me now. I'm just so sorry.
Drag queens aren't the problem.
The lack of prayer in schools isn't the problem.
Books aren't the problem.
There is one common denominator:
Guns.
6 people are dead.
3 of them were only children.
Fucking do something more than usual thinking and praying.
@DrJenGunter
So.... Does this mean I can collect life insurance on a miscarriage? Or does it mean I'll be charged with murder after a miscarriage.... In the hypothetical sense I lived in Pennsylvania, of course...
DPS in Uvalde take 77 minutes to stop a shooter from slaughtering children, but waste no time in manhandling the mother of one of those children as she tries to pick her surviving son up from school.
Jesus.
Remember when 7 people died from Tylenol that had been tampered with? Now it takes an act of God to open a brand new bottle.
How many kids have to die before meaningful action is taken?

When Anonymous said they were going to put out Boebert's info, I had no idea they meant ALL of her info.
They just doxxed tf out of her. Her credit rating is about to be demolished.
Thor died at 11:38 this morning. He's been buried on my parents property in a spot overlooking a 2 1/2 acre lake.
This one is going to hurt for a very long time.
@Liamjsm
And do what exactly? Search and rescue? They've already released funds and called FEMA. You think their actual presence during a disaster would be helpful? How so?
@BCross052422
I'm never big on immediately blaming the parents for the actions of their children. That said, this woman has absolutely convinced me that she drove her own child to madness. It's hard for me not to feel like she's just as guilty.
@dannarebb
My uncle died last year of prion disease. It was a week after the onset of symptoms, and it was horrible. Various health agencies are still trying to determine exactly how he contracted it.
@BCross052422
Anyone that cares whether or not you share genetics with him is completely missing the point. You are his father. Period. You have fought tirelessly for him, and so children like mine do not meet the same fate. Whether or not he is biologically yours is least important in it all.
The chief of police in a neighboring town was just arrested after her home was raided. Apparently, she and another cop friend were making some serious dough on the side by selling *checks notes* meth.
During the raid, they also found millions in cash.
Payne Springs, TX
Jesus....
Dude in a truck runs into a crowd of people at a bus stop across the street from a migrant shelter in Brownsville.
He killed 7 people & injured 6 more.
This wasn't an accident. You can't convince me it was.
Hateful rhetoric leads to hate crimes.
Someone explain to me how 45 is allowed to go to Scotland while he is under indictment? If I were under indictment, I wouldn't even be allowed to leave the county, much less the country.
Is it because I'm not rich? Is that it?
They just pulled another body out of the water in Austin near Longhorn dam, which created Lady Bird Lake.
Y'all. Don't go to Rainey Street alone. Especially if you're a man with dark hair. Stay in groups. Don't wander off by yourself. APD won't say that, so I'm saying it.
@fred_guttenberg
Fred. I have deep respect for you. But this feels like justifying tossing a grenade into a classroom full of kids to take out a school shooter. Netanyahu has choices.
@acweyand
Can you not? Real question. Because the inside of my head is a loud, busy, endless reel of images and sounds. There are heads that don't do this?
I just want to throw my kids a huge shout out for not making a 36 year old grandma. They're not huge fans of the candy dish full of condoms on the coffee table, but they seem to respect my methods.
Abbott wants to pardon a man that drove into a crowd of protesters, shot a man 5 times, then fled the scene.
So, when he said he was into law and order, what he really meant was he likes the TV show.
Reminder to my friends in red states...
If you find yourself pregnant, no one legally has the right to know. It is protected under HIPAA. If you plan to terminate, it might be safer if you don't tell your partner so they can sue whoever might assist you.
Just saying.
Y'all.
Can I do a mom brag real quick?
Because I'm so fucking proud of my son.
I snapped this photo while he was doing his college registration for next fall.
He's 14. 😭😭😭
He's doing things I didn't even know were possible. I am shook!
2 years ago, I unexpectedly lost my best friend to an aneurysm.
She didn't die immediately. She slipped away over the course of a week. It was awful.
Some things change you at your core. This was one of mine, & I feel like I'm never going to catch my breath.
@fuckyouiquit
Yeah, fuck this. I'm on call every other week, and that is already A LOT, even with the more than fair compensation I'm given for it. If they want me on call non-stop, they're going to pay me like I'm on call non-stop.
I'm not really all that proud to be an American right now, and I'm even less proud to be Texan. I'm angry. I'm afraid. I'm disgusted. But I am definitely not proud.
We are long overdue for federal intervention in the mess the state is making of Houston ISD. As a mom of a child in special education, this scares the piss out of me.
If you live in Texas, you might want to check & make sure your voter registration is valid. I just found out mine was purged. Had I not checked, I would have found out the hard way in November. This upcoming election is important. Don't let yourself get turned away at the polls.
@CarmineSabia
Yeah... It's the symbol of freedom until they realize we put immigrants in literal concentration camps, with conditions that are far worse than most animal shelters. I truly do miss looking at that flag as the symbol of freedom, but just can't after a friend spent 5 months in one
There was a children's bowling league at the bowling alley that was shot up in Lewiston, ME.
Dude was military.
And a firearms instructor.
This is beyond fucked up.
Elmo's algorithm has cut my views into nonexistence, but if you can see this, imma need all the good energy you got for my doggo. We need to call the vet in the am. And he's just old enough, and the issue alarming enough, that this makes me nervous. He's literally the best boy.
To be clear, I will never show any form of respect toward Joel Osteen, no matter what horrible event took place at his church.
I can feel compassion for those impacted without pretending that man isn't vile. Fuck him.
