Verizon is stopping support for message+ and says to just use Google messenger. Fuck that I hate Google, can anyone suggest an app I can use to just text people and send pictures that works on and offline?

If we're defining "text" as "SMS, MMS or RCS", Signal doesn't do that anymore. You can only send messages to other signal users. Signal is a great app but you won't be able to reach people with it unless you talk them into using it.

    There are some FOSS SMS clients tho. I used to use Simple SMS, but there were no updates for 12 months.

    Maybe try Deku SMS: https://github.com/deku-messaging/Deku-SMS-Android

    It seems to have at least some traction for what it's worth.
