The numbers are in. The new maps republicans just passed in Texas reduce Hispanic Texans to one-third of a white person and Black Texans to one-fifth of a white person.

Republicans are always against things that actually help people. It’s almost like they go out of their way to gin up new ideas on how to make life worse for everyone. They use fear-mongering and spread propaganda, rather than facts, to get gullible people to vote against their own interests. SMDH

If I were a man who had promised to be a dictator and then had begun acting like a dictator and had previously refused to leave office after the end of my appointed term, I would know that the military was the key to me staying in power and I would put atop it only men who owed *everything* to *me*.
