I have a family member there because of family ties. Her entire family is there & not leaving any time soon. They have careers, children, investments in the state. It’s easy to say “leave,” not so easy to do. Texas is a rogue state.

do any of the Republicans in the Texas house realize that they are truly shitty human beings? Or do they all justify it to themselves somehow?

When are the pricks that supposedly protect and serve, going to arrest those assholes for false imprisonment? Too busy protecting and serving individuals with money and/or power instead of the people as usual, is my guess

Democracy in Texas is now officially dead. How is this anything short of kidnapping ? Where are the police in all of this ?
