Austin Disaster Relief Network
Patrick Terry, the company's founder, said the decision was a direct response to the "unimaginable" sadness pervading the community. All proceeds will go to the Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN), which has been providing on-the-ground support to flood survivors and rescuers since the disaster began.

What they're saying:
"What's happened here over the last few days has really been unimaginable. The sadness is everywhere," Terry said. "We're hoping, as a P. Terry's family, that a small gesture can make a difference. And when we come together with these small gestures, maybe something big will happen."

The funds will specifically contribute to ADRN's "Central Texas Flood" fundraising campaign, which provides essential supplies, emergency assistance, and long-term support for flood victims and their families.

P. Terry's, with locations across Austin, San Antonio, and Houston, emphasized its commitment to community support. "Our community has always been at the heart of who we are," the company stated. "While we may just be a burger stand, we believe we have a responsibility to step up when our neighbors need us most."

Barack Obama called Zohran Mamdani
 

And offered him some advice on this, that and other items of importance. I like it that Obama has a spine of steel. No welding necessary. :)

The Epstein Sex Predator Files Continues (…)
 

There will be a special place in hell for people who hurt girls, ladies and women. Trust me (I am a sex assault survivor): you WILL be found out. You WILL pay a huge price for your smoke & mirrors gamesmanship. No one will save you from what you’ve done to those who have fought for years to bring you to justice. May your comeuppance be so spectacular that everyone will remember your horrid choice (s) to hurt others. :fastdraq: :vigil: :tinfoil:

Epstein Survivors …
 

Will be releasing their list of predators (bad actors).

Dominoes will be falling soon.

Thanks Kätzchen for including the link. I was HIGHLY surprised that Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of four Republicans (three of them women)who has joined the Democrats in calling on Congress to compel the release of the full Epstein files, unredacted. Apparently, they only need two more Republicans to join them to make this reality.

I still don't think I'll be voting for MTG, but I will at least stop calling her "Margarine".

Former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan, once a member of the Republican Party and the person who set T——p straight about trying to find votes so he could win the 2020 election, is now a Democrat and is running for governor of Georgia.

I hope that Georgia voters choose you for their governor!

Immigration concerns (ICE Brutality, Police Brutality)
 

I just want to say I have personally seen, witnessed, tragic events in my metro area: 1) this past summer I saw police & ICE take down two elderly Mexican immigrants (married couple) just blocks from my dental office. 2) Yesterdays morning on my way to work, in my neighborhood— police, sheriff’s, ICE, and ambulance contractors were at the home of a large Mexican family, with their fleet of work trucks and such(long time time lawn and garden grooming business)(they even own their own home), being arrested at their home. This was particularly cruel because it happened during early morning hours when people are still sleeping in bed.


My heart sank for them. (Broken heart icon)

They’ve been here legally for f*cking years.

WTH.

Here is an OP-ed from the NYT’s speaking to this travesty of justice for people who have been here and followed the damn rules.

PS/ ICE also uses salvaged vehicles WITHOUT license plates. That your BIG warning sign it’s ICE agents. I sat behind an ICE vehicle without plates in traffic yesterday.

Epstein, Maxwell, T——p Sex assault survivors news
 

Today, on the steps of our nations capital, Thomas Massey (R), Ro Khana (D), and Majorie Taylor Greene (R) stood with many sex assault survivors to make sure that no body/person is left in the dark about the many crimes powerful people have committed against young women who have been threatened, and silenced by threats, and living in fear of retribution for revealing sex predators in our American society.

I too am a sex assault survivor: my first abusers were my dad and eldest brother (both of whom are dead, no longer here on earth), and a handful of other males who have committed the same atrocities against me. The only person in my family who believed me was my grandmother. Her daughter, my mother, never believed me. Years later my dad did something unimaginable to my mother and only after she recovered from her break from reality (she was catatonic for over a year, being treated in a mental health setting as well), was she ever able to comprehend any part of the sex assaults I have survived. But not entirely, which has led me to axe my relationship with my mom because she still supports the abuse and abusers in our family and outsiders who did this to me as well.

Sexual Assault and various forms of this abuse is about: Power, controlling the narrative of the assaults and blaming the victims/survivors for choices others made to carry out their crimes against us. Abusers hide behind their social standing and hide behind the false veneer of their station in life.

I stand with every survivor because it has happened to me via members of my immediate family and a handful of outsiders who have done this to me too.

The real test for the Epstein Transparency Bill is if the Senate (all of them Republicans) will sign off on the bill without the usual ways Republicans try to water down bills in their political favor or how they try to cheat by gaining financially from their own corrupt ways of thinking.

Here’s a major “Hello” for you: we aren’t stupid. This is NOT political. It’s about getting justice for the abuse we have suffered so that this terrible behavior by sex predators is dealt with swiftly by social standards of acceptable accountability. To that end, to officially say in our country that sex assault if not tolerated. Full stop.

Please call your reps and senators to let them know that you stand with survivors. Please.
