I asked Carrington Sneed of TCDP leadership if she or anyone from TCDP has called , written of spoken to anyone in State government about the thousands of lives jeopardized. Haven't heard back. Not sure how many lives need to be lost to get Dem leadership engaged.
"Amid a $7 million deficit to Texas’ suicide hotline, thousands of calls are abandoned monthly"-TT
thought i'd drop a note to my newly minted congressman..Craig Goldman FTW
"Dear Mr. Goldman as the Congressman for Lockheed., this is when being a MAGA loyalist will redound badly upon u
Hegesth likely to be confirmed ,
The men and women of JNRB FTW to be commanded by a drunkard and wife beater.
Congrats MAGA Craig Goldman, party over patriotism"
PS; i asked the Ezra Kirkos and the 26 members of TCDP Executive Committee to copy and paste to Goldman's X account. If they are too lazy or disinterested i told them to resign.....
It was the late great Molly Ivins who oft reminded us that the average Tex lege had less spine than a Portugese man-o-war floating in Galveston Bay. And most Democrat usually arrived at the same fate....splayed out over the sand with some kid poking at its decaying carcass with a stick.
But.....for those Leges not home schooled. remember the fable of the frog and the scorpion, who once carried across the creek by the accommodating frog , turns around and stings the him. The frog, puzzled by the betrayal, asks Why? to which the scorpion says: 'its my nature"
So too is the MAGA hewing Trump worshiping scorpions of the Texas Lege. This year they actually wrote it on a piece of paper......"we are gonna sting u Dems every time U LET US"
tax money to religious schools to teach kids Christian values......1
acting on Christian values.....0
its all about 'control' and not about employing the Christian ethos in government.
"Amid a $7 million deficit to Texas’ suicide hotline, thousands of calls are abandoned monthly
The state’s 988 suicide had the nation’s fifth highest rate of abandoned calls in August, the latest data available amid a multi-million funding deficit that could worsen as federal dollars expire this year.' - tt
abortion, mifespristone , maternal mortality, miscarriage treatment and reporting......its not about pro-life religious values, its about controlling women. The best way to control women, to the primitives in the Lege, keep em barefoot and pregnant.
Any social safety net for women and kids in Texas is the federal safety net. Otherwise there would be none. Our lege would be happy about that. They sue the feds on the regular when fed regs look like they might help the disadvantage.
The Texas MAGA movement is really anti-women, anti-rights, anti-blacks.
I have long said the key to this it hitting corps,........techs' or other modern day biz's who don't share Texas "Jim Crow for women" values. They all leave their home states for the tax haven of Texas not knowing what awaits their employees.
Can u imagine going to Stanford, a tech or legal wiz, or maybe a mid-level, accomplished Bay Area resident leaving for Austin , and finding out abortion is illegal and u could die of a miscarriage, If we manage to aler employers their employees would revolt. But TDP , in Austin, never challenges this biz model, so people move, adapt, capitulate.
Texas is getting sorrier by the minute. Don't let some idiotic boosterism or pride tell u anything different. If u don't make over $150,000 in Texas your fucked by the Bozo's in the Lege and Governor's Office. A handful of Texans ever really cared. Catholics had accepted abortion. It wasn't even a thing with Baptists. it became a political cudgel and your Democratic party let these odious men of the R , now MAGA, party , beat us with it.
We live in the new 'Jim Crow for Women' Era. Let's resist like the last Jim Crown era.
