Politically Speaking

A few days ago? Hours ago?

Sometime recently - someone encouraged others to seek out political groups that are seeking out real change. Groups that are coordinating and organizing and trying to work against the GQP as it tries to deathcrawl its way across the map.

Texas is in a bad place. Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz and a litinany of other bad faith actors, misappropriation experts and jus generally terrible people are all flooding into the Texas political realm. The goals are clear - they want Texas to fail.

This is a website to a group that works to defend the state. If you care about #Texas or if you're a fan of #Democracry, or even if you just REALLY dislike Greg Abbott personally - I would encourage you to give these people some of your time. Listen to what they are saying and try to help if you can.

If you have the means, perhaps the best way to help is financial - but perhaps it's exposure. Share them with your communities so that they and others like them can find more support to save the state.
