The reason Texas is part of the USA is that Mexico made slavery illegal.

Remember the Alamo? A lot of white people don't know is that what the "brave" people in the Alamo were fighting for was slavery.

That's also why it took two years after the civil war ended for enforcement of anti-slavery in Texas. (it wasn't because of slow communication, as is told in revisionist histories, it was because white people willfully defied the law).

Freedom is always worth fighting for.

@joelle glad to see this come up. Texas tries to rewrite history so much. The reason we have Juneteenth is because Texas wasn’t going to free their slaves until someone forced them.
I am glad to be rid of that state. They act like they are the number one state in the union. The only thing they lead the country in is child deaths due to neglect and abuse.

@AudioTinker

I'll bet you didn't know that 4.8mm people in Texas voted for Harris, which is more than the state of New York and basically everywhere except California.

But thanks for writing all of us off bc a handful of extremist politicians speak for all of us / apparently.

Can't eye roll at your thinking hard enough.

@AudioTinker then you're even worse than I thought bc that makes you intensely ignorant and obtuse.

@RVLara23 Somebody has to hold Texas accountable for what they put out in to this world. If you can’t or won’t I most certainly will.
