Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com

NEW: The Texas Republican lawmaker who blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander suggested “shoot, shovel and shut up” as a way to deal with immigrants — a comment that could boost legal efforts to block the state’s map. From: @jenrice.bsky.social

These people are beyond cynical and callous. Yet if you brought him into a court for any crime, he'd be begging for the judge's leniency. And worse, his white priviledge would allow him to escape punishment.

And I’m sure he also identifies as Christian. Maybe he could point out that part in the New Testament where Jesus tells us to “shoot, shovel and shut up” when referring to those of His children that are suffering.

Texas was founded as a white supremacist state; its constitution barred free African Americans from residing in the Republic unless approved by the Texas Congress. Despite the efforts of LBJ and a few others, the state has not changed its views from its days as a Republic.

Christians have a two thousand year history of genocide to advance their religion. It was advanced with the force of armies, not rhetoric. The "kinder, gentler" Christianity you see today is an aberration forced on Christians by the Enlightenment, and Christians hate it.
