You had me at "loss for Texas Republicans."

imagine that, something good happening being a "loss for republicans". Who would have thought!

"Loss for Republicans"

The most wonderful words to read

When I was a kid we learned all about Monarchs in class. It was a big deal, closely associated with notions of Texan-ness. Texas Republicans are betraying Texas, and I'm so happy that milkweed is getting protections.

Let me guess … the plant was a transflower

Is anyone else old enough to remember when uplifting vs awful wasn’t that closely connected with partisan politics? I agree with most of these memes but it makes me sad.

It's 2023! We Savin flowers baby!

Hermflower, perhaps. Many plants are kind of hermaphroditic in that they have both male and female parts in the same flower.

I mean they wave around the confederate flag so I can't be too surprised that they're betraying their state.

That's on Republicans not on people reporting uplifting versus depressing news.

Should we shift reality or should Republicans just change?

Lol, exactly. Today's GOP has the same intentions and agenda for America as our foreign enemies.

Or their country.

Hahaha that’s what I was thinking! Leave it to republicans to get triggered over a plant
