Woot! Federal court just threw out Texas's blatantly racist and suck-up "anything you want Daddy Donald" voting maps. CHEATERS LOSE - DEMOCRACY WINS.
The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through the mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump. Attorney General Ken Paxton said he would appeal.
#ElonMusk and Texas governor celebrate firing of worker over pronouns in email signature
Billionaire #Trump ally and #GregAbbot tweet about Frank Zamora, who was let go after refusing to remove pronouns
“However, we have chosen to make them a politicized topic and a hot-button issue. I felt that this order was strictly passed down to appease a certain political movement, and that it was strictly done, essentially, to win a culture war. And I do not believe that the #LGBTQ+ community – trans individuals, non-binary, intersex or any individuals who choose to display their preferred pronouns – deserve to be made political collateral or to be put on the chopping block.”

"The Texas governor, Greg Abbott, and, later, Elon Musk showed support on Wednesday for the firing of a state employee who refused to remove his pronouns from his work email signature.
"#FrankZamora, 31, was let go from his job as a program manager at the Texas real estate commission (TREC) last month because he refused to comply with a mandate from the organisation to employees to remove gender pronouns from email signatures.
"'I actually anticipated this coming, just because we knew that many changes that were being made at the federal level were being mimicked at the state level,' Zamora said.
"Abbott celebrated the move on X, sharing a report from the Austin American-Statesman on the firing and writing: 'A Texas state employee refused to remove pronouns from email signature. He was fired before noon.'"

If you want to know how successful will be Trump trying to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the country there is already an example, “Operation Lone Star “ in Texas , they spent billions of dollars and the results were mediocre at best. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/04/27/texas-operation-lone-star-greg-abbott-border/
As reporters investigated Gov. Greg Abbott’s border initiative, they repeatedly found situations in which Abbott and Department of Public Safety officials cited accomplishments that lacked crucial context or did not match reality. Here are a few examples.
"For three years during the coronavirus pandemic, the federal government gave Texas and other states billions of dollars in exchange for their promise not to exacerbate the public health crisis by kicking people off Medicaid.
When that agreement ended last year, Texas moved swiftly, kicking off more people faster than any other state"

The decision to buck federal government guidelines was one of many that led to serious repercussions for Texas residents who rely on Medicaid. Among them were children forced to forgo or postpone lifesaving operations, doctors say.

The golden rule for disaster response is to go fast, go early, go big, and be smart about it," said Lemaitre, who worked for FEMA during the Obama administration. "But the system relies on governors doing their part." #GregAbbot
