@RollingStone As always, the cruelty is the point with GOP. Awful story.
@RollingStone maybe he wanted to send them all a gift basket?
@RollingStone Texas is pretty much what the republicans want for America
@RollingStone Republican pandering to the fake Christians knows no bounds. They think they're winning, but cruelty is a bad look for winners.
@GenX @RollingStone hello from Texas. This crap is unpopular as hell here. The problem is the satanic gerrymandering. The four largest metro areas in Texas are reliably blue. And represent a huge chunk of the population. The rural areas are depopulating. At the same time the metro regions are growing with many blue voters. Tick tock.
@murraycoffey @RollingStone what we need to do is increase the size of Congress which hasn’t been done in a long time.
@RollingStone Rephrasing: Today's story out of Texas is yet another large brick in the Republican cobblestone road toward systematic persecution of an oppressed minority and eventual attempted genocide.

@RollingStone

When mentioning Texas AG Ken Paxton, one of the very FIRST things you should do is tell your audience about Paxton's criminal behavior.

Paxton has two felony indictments for securities fraud.

He's also currently under investigation by the FBI for abuse of office & the American Bar Association has threatened to disbar him for unethical behavior.

Texas AG Ken Paxton could be deposed about securities fraud case

The deposition is part of a lawsuit that is separate but related to the attorney general’s seven-year-old securities fraud indictment.

Amen. Bullies understand two things: violence, and the threat of violence.

Trans people have become the "moral" scapegoats for Christian Fascism.
@RollingStone republican genocide Texas or Florida first
@RollingStone The only difference between Paxton and a Taliban is the 3 piece suit.
@RollingStone Ken Paxton is already a criminal under indictment himself. I think this story is grounds for a referral to the DOJ.

@RollingStone

AG under indictment(s) is making a list. 🥶

@RollingStone I'm sure it's going to be fine /s SMH
@RollingStone Have him look where the si=un don't shine.
