Twelve Republican candidates for the Texas Legislature signed this extreme group's pledge to file legislation to ban IVF and make abortion a capital punishment crime.
Tarrant woman jailed. Flordia and other R's around the country get probation at best. I will let Bud Kennedy sum it up: "Crystal Mason didn’t vote illegally, appeals court rules; 2018 Tarrant conviction reversed
Crystal Mason’s case became a national cause celebre, and Exhibit A in claims that the Republican Party of Texas is trying to intimidate voters."
this story has more legs than one. It was the handi work of DA Sharon Wilson carrying water for Ken Paxton....... I ran into a former Assitant DA last week and as he was huffing and puffing about his great service for the Citizens of Tarrant County. I said 2 words: "Bonnie Arnett".* That shut him up. Bonnie's case was another huge miscarrigage of justice out of our DA's ofice. To say our DA's act with impunity is an understatement.
2. Crystal is black......so of course she was treated differently, more savagely ,more unjustly, than any of the other R voter fraud cases around the nation.
3. Wait...wait...wait..............and keep waiting for any aoplogies from anyone
Here again from Bud K: "Former Republican Justice of the Peace Russ Casey actually pleaded guilty to faking the signatures to get himself on the ballot. Yet he received probation. Earlier last week, when Paxton escaped trial on a fraud charge by agreeing to pay his victims $270,000 — a year and a half’s salary for the Texas attorney general — I thought of Mason. Paxton was eligible for a pretrial diversion agreement, we were told. So is any nonviolent suspect.
Dear Gawd..someone ask Craig Goldman how he is not party to this MAGA lunacy....he is damned no matter how he answers.....bahm! we have a D congressman in CD 12..if we had a candidate running that is
BTW more lunacy to come...attach it all to Goldman like a sticker burr
related : guess who committed ACTUAL voter fraud........R's of course. "Two public school principals in North Texas have been indicted for allegedly using their school email accounts to urge staff to vote for certain political candidates in the March Republican primary election."
in the intolerant column...or "they eat their own"

"Up against the wall, Charles Butt! The Jacobins in the GOP have a new enemy, and it’s the 86-year-old chairman of Texas’s beloved grocery chain, H-E-B. This weekend, party officials in four counties in East and Southeast Texas voted to condemn the “Democrat billionaire” for involving himself in “advocating for policies contrary to the Republican Party of Texas platform.”
It's scary to realize that religious extremists exist in every community, not just in the Middle East, as our leaders would want us to believe.
Thanks for raising awareness about these threats to women’s reproductive rights.
