Jasmine Crockett (Texas Representative)

[atomheartbevo 88913]

1) I shouldn’t have looked to see why syphilis is trending .

2) I showed up to committee ready to discuss the horrific deaths of a mother & her children this past weekend at the Texas Border. Seems relevant to a hearing on the border right?

3) My colleague decided to curse at me for I guess having the audacity to speak on their hypocrisy. MAGA won’t have anything to say about this behavior… I’m sure he won’t be called ghetto or whatever other racist nonsense they always say.

I love this woman!  Smart as a whip. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13049]

One to watch, she's on fire.

She's not kidding about syphillis, either. Real trouble looming with that one. With access to healthcare an issue, specifically for women, and furthermore lack of access to OB/GYN care it's happening while there is a shortage of treatment medications (the FDA is allowing importation of meds from overseas to alleviate this). There is only one drug that can safely treat in utero IIRC.

Quote

Last year, syphilis cases across Texas rose by 22%, according to preliminary numbers, from 21,476 in 2020 to 25,991 in 2022, the most recent statewide data available. That’s more than double the number of cases reported in Texas five years ago.--9/13/23 Texas Tribune reporting on statewide data.

 

Guys, do your part: wear a condom. Oral contraceptives are only one factor that play into sexual health and reproduction.

I treat on average one or two people a day for syphilis. Yesterday was five lol.

There's been an injectable penicillin shortage for over a year now, which is the most efficacious way to treat syphilis (also the most painful). Doxycycline remains effective against the organism still, too, but there are concerns about how long that will remain the case, as doxy is starting to see widespread usage as STI prophylaxis and/or acne treatment, as well as being given to anyone who needs syphilis treatment who doesn't qualify to receive the penicillin.

It can take up to nine months after contracting syphilis for it to show up in blood testing (rare but possible). During that time you are able to transmit it to others. It is possible to remain completely asymptomatic long enough until the disease enters your nervous system, at which point you need treatment ASAP or you will suffer horrible neurological effects. 

If you have one sexual partner, testing once a year if asymptomatic should be fine. If you have multiple partners you should get tested every three months. If you have a penis, wear a fucking condom because people with penises are a huge contributor to the intractability of the syphilis problem in Texas. 

 

It'd be nice if some of this stuff was taught in schools lmao

Just looked up her age out of curiosity. 42 years old. Why can't we have someone like that in the White House instead of an octogenarian?

Interestingly enough, this is now my chosen gender identification: "person with penis."  Alternatively, "penised individual."

[safe sex 11603]

Totally valid. Inclusivity, yo.

Penised Individual?  Seriously, dude?  I mean, I get it...but you literally made business cards with that on 'em?  We need to have a talk about your New Year's Resolutions.  

I am late to the party with Rep. Crockett.  Only been following her tenure and service for about a year, but she is on a massive uptick right now.  I don't know everything about her, her personal life is her business, but from what I have seen and heard...I can with 98% confidence...this is the kind of person I want my daughters to grow up and be like.  The other 2% wants my daughters to grow up and put out a cigarette on Marjorie Taylor Green's head.

Been fun to watch her short career so far. Was one and done in the state house in the minority party but always got in some “good arguments” where she very clearly shuts people up cause they don’t expect the law education. She’ll be a fundraising juggernaut and important piece of the Democratic Party moving forward on issues that need more representation and was perfect replacement to EBJ.

When I initially approached Jasmine about opening up to a throuple relationship with Amanda Edwards it wasn’t an immediate no, but the hesitation really put me off and it led to where I’m at now. Glad to see the breakup didn’t mess with her success at all and looking forward to her accepting the invite once bae beats SJL for her seat.

She is funny, bright, passionate.   Gave a great speech as usual.  She also spoke in 2022.  Those shirts are now available, too.

That's not fair, why does she get the only awesome t-shirt?  (checks notes) Oh, right, right.  She came up with the slogan.

Also, I know the look of a man trying not to get a boner in public.

She has a great singing voice as well.  During her speech, she sang a bit of an one of her sorority's songs, and she can definitely carry a tune too.

She's on MSNBC every time I tune in, so "no."  

Also, she's worth watching anytime.

[atomheartbevo 88913]

Maybe the next time CNN gets to moderate a debate, they can go find one of the black women on staff, because THIS IS WHAT YOU DO! SHUT DOWN HIS BS, mid sentence.

Also, this is why I was never convinced that a lot of black folk were moving to Trump! The level of disrespect he has for us is ALWAYS on Full display!

And again, he had alot to say about @KamalaHarris from challenging her blackness to flat out lying on her. The question is will you say it to her face, Donald?! YOU DON’T want that !

A number of interesting speakers at TribFest in about a month's time.  Including the alluring Jen Psaki.  

While it overlaps with the Michigan game, if you find yourself downtown on the afternoon after watching the game, I'd highly recommend milling about the Statewide Theater after her 2:15p talk.  Jasmine Crockett, I'm sure, will be glad to stop and take pics.  So if you happen to get one with her, stand clear of the sweater puppies, blur your face, and post here.

During Allred's speech, I was thinking Crockett would be his best surrogate in October. If she doesn't run for Senate in 2026, the Dems have messed up badly.

She's phenomenal. I didn't realize until her speech at the DNC that she reps District 30. She's only a freshman in Congress and appears to have unlimited potential. A good friend was -- before she moved to the private sector -- a top aide to her predecessor, who was loony tunes and held that district forever.

You know if Congresswoman Crockett wants to get in on the current trend of politicians making really dumb decisions with respect to their love lives I may be able to find a target that she's way too good for. You know, a friend or something.

It is quite refreshing, but there is no denying that if they would have had this attitude 40 years ago, we wouldn't be in the mess we are today.  Say what you want about the republicans (and please do!), they have had the long game figured out since Reagan.  They have been systemically breaking down the game forever, and Dems have let themselves get rolled over.  Co-opting the church to push agendas, gerrymandering, getting elected at the lowest levels and changing laws/rules on school boards and small towns, rejecting political norms to block SCOTUS nominations, etc. Literally too many things to count - and I'm certainly not the poli-sci guy to break it all down for anyone.  I have always felt like the Dems put importance on doing the right thing, and Republicans put importance on winning, at whatever cost.  Thrilled to see Dems taking the low(er) road and punching back, but undoing what the Rs have successfully worked on over decades is a tough row to hoe.

Probably the wrong thread for this, but specifically here in TX, how is there no Dem Godfather behind the scenes to keep these knuckleheads from making bad decisions?  How are Wendy Davis, Lupe Valdez and a 2x defeated Beto the best we could put up against Abbott?  And that's not even going back to Perry's opponents... Who let Beto run for President in 2020 and destroy all the positive momentum he made in the 2018 senate race?  I'm pulling like hell for Allred, but I've been less than impressed with his efforts on the trail, and am prepared for Lucy to pull that ball back in Nov.
