Fuck Paxton, he should be in jail not an attorney general, but hey what can you expect when they've done everything they can to keep power in Texas.

And of course he will lose in court, he's completely hypocritical on both free speech and what the State can or cannot do.

Most of what he, Abbott, and Patrick do is just political theater and has no real benefit for the people of Texas.

These people want to be feudal lords who can use their resources (including human) to do literally whatever the fuck they want.

And that's where we are headed if people don't wake the fuck up and vote.

If you're refusing to vote for Harris because of Palestine, then you will be directly responsible for the deaths of those Palestinians under Trump.
