The GOP is calling it the most conservative 48-hours in txlege history. No, there wasn't a lynching

I am so angry right now. Jim Crow voter suppression bills passed the house. A pro-police, anti-Black bill passed the House. A statewide criminalization on homelessness passed the House. An abortion ban passed the House.

I hate Texas Republicans. Why would they think any of this is ok?

I live in a state controlled by Repukes too. They have a super majority in our state govt. so basically they can pass whatever they want. It’s sickening that any of what you mentioned above they think is a-ok. I am sure Ohio will follow suit, so be assured you’re not alone in your anger.

Our repukes are calling for state rep. Anthony Gonzales, a Republican, to resign, just because he voted to impeach the Orange traitor. All Hail Trump ...

I believe they will be overturned but it going to take time. republican controlled state governments across the country are taking civil rights, rights in general away from people and it will not stand.

It's all about keeping power and profits.
