Loon Star State: Ken Paxton's Voting Police
Ben Sargent imagines the logical conclusion of the AG's policing priorities.Ben Sargent (The Texas Observer)
Out today from me, at @TexasObserver: The creators of "Young Greg Abbott: A FuQusical" hope to take their show on the road, inspiring anger, laughter, and political change while undermining the governor's career through satire. "We want to be in his ear, as this very annoying little pesky punk show following him around."

‘Fuck You Greg Abbott’—the Musical
A satirical show about the Texas governor in his youth offers a giant Ann Richards puppet, dancing Matthew McConaughey heads, and a moment of catharsis.Kit O'Connell (The Texas Observer)
“It pushes my line of what is appropriate, right? And so if I’m offended, it’s usually a good sign.”
A new satirical theatrical experience stretches the boundaries of good taste, while creating a moment of catharsis for the #Democrats of Texas: texasobserver.org/young-greg-a…

“In many ways, #Trump has won the policy argument at the border. Joe #Biden and Kamala Harris have both embraced versions of his bottleneck strategy and hope to choke off asylum access between official ports of entry. But, for the 11 million undocumented already in the country, the distinction between the parties remains bright.” texasobserver.org/editors-lett…

How is Trump calling for Liz Cheney to be put in front of a firing squad not front page news of every newspaper right now?

Trump Fantasizes About Putting Liz Cheney Staring Down Gun Barrels

People make fun of the “what happens in the booth stays in the booth” election ads, but I know poll workers who have had to keep husbands out of their wive’s voting booths because they had to “make sure she votes right”. When I was phone banking I also talked with a woman who’s husband or boyfriend was clearly around and it almost definitely changed the nature of the call. Voter intimidation by men is a real problem and I’m glad these ads address it.

Elon Musk May Be An Illegal Immigrant!
Musk Could Have US Citizenship Revoked If He Lied on Immigration Forms
The richest man in the world appears to have worked in the US without authorization. According to experts, if he did so and lied about it as part of the immigration process, he could be denaturalized.

Why are so many women hiding their voting plans from their husbands?
A lot of households are not democracies; they’re dictatorships. This may mean voter intimidation and suppression.

Almost every single school district in the San Antonio area is facing a funding shortage after the #Texas Legislature failed last session to use its $33 billion surplus to alleviate the growing financial crisis public school districts face from inflation, declining enrollment, and property tax cuts that have restricted local revenue. texasobserver.org/san-antonio-…

I think she’s hit the nail right on the head.
Many women, when frightened, will either retreat & try to make themselves a small target (often necessary), or bravely face their fears and seek to overcome them.
Some men express their fear as anger, their violence & aggression driven by fear, not any carefully thought out rationale.
Trump is tapping into the fears of those men who don’t have the capacity (skills, education, temperament etc) to think things through. They like him, because he expresses his own fear & insecurity as anger. He doesn’t even try to be civil or measured now, making wild claims & promising hateful actions. He is running scared, scared of being shown up as an ignorant, incompetent fool, scared of rejection, scared of facing the consequences of his criminal actions. And some men relate.
A commenter at Citation Needed suggested I have not adequately explained why I support Kamala Harris, and why I believe it is absolutely critical that everyone who can vote comes out to vote for her. In case I have indeed not been clear, here is my response.
PLEASE vote.
This is outrageous. Even for Elon Putz.

Marc Anthony:
I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember.
I remember what it was like when Trump was president.
I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico…
About our people ...
I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island…
Trump blocked billions in relief … while thousands died.
I remember that when our families lacked clean water and electricity,
Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico “dirty” and “poor.”

No matter what state you live in, every vote counts.
Unless you vote for Jill Stein or any third party candidate - then that is an utter waste.
Get back to me when there is preferential voting in the US.
At this election there is only one way to prove you are against fascism.
Until then, remember:
Friends don't let friends vote for Stein.
PLEASE BOOST THE HELL OUTTA THIS!
Harris will speak at the Ellipse in DC tonight. If you possibly can, PLEASE ATTEND to show there’s more of us than maga!
