This is some extremely fascist stuff. Texas is continuing its effort to strip its Democratic cities of any power whatsoever.

Democracy Docket:

NEW: #Texas Senate passes #SB1933 on a party line vote, a bill that would empower the governor-appointed secretary of state to take over election oversight from local county officials. The bill now goes to the Texas House. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/texas-senate-passes-bill-to-seize-control-of-elections-from-local-authorities/

@axeshun Thanks for making that important point! With a historical view, recent developments of this kind, while still awful (and life threatening to the most vulnerable!), don't seem quite as earth shattering.
Pretty sure mother nature is going to end human civilization before the fascists gain complete control of the country, but of course the two disasters will go hand in hand.
And with that happy thought for the night, I'mma move along to another thread. Cheers!
