Irving turnout in 2nd in the county. And as you know I could give a shit about city, district, county lines. Keep poking this mama bear and she is gonna sink her claws in you. No matter how they draw these maps, I will continue to knock on doors, cause we might be gerrymandered but we can win state wide. I will knock on doors in red red red districts. I will not stop. Ever.
And we mama bears stick together. Claws and all. Do not poke me. Oh, and that is why we always choose the bear. Cause that is our cub. My district is my baby, every single voter, every single chair. My gerrymandered every two years, totally written off, forgotten district.
Well as expected black people tried to warn everyone else about the consequence. A few listened but a lot of people actually gloated in their anti-black racism only to sit down to a full course meal of FAFO.
We'll get through this mess but it will take a lot of courage and focus. We can do this by sustaining the necessary will to confront this ugliness for what it is - treason and hatred for America. Let's start there and let the games begin.
I've been thinking, when Democrats take control, they plan to do "independent redistricting commissions," to make sure all is fair across the board, but maybe they should eye-for-an-eye this bitch and end the Republican Party.
Oh absolutely. We need to go scorched earth politically and institutionally. I haven't used this phrase in a long time but to paraphrase Scipio Africanus during the Second Punic War, GOP Delenda Est. That should be our motto going forward.
at this point i am inclined to agree. Unless we introduce a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering and introduce the FRA act for a proportional representation for all of our races to make it more friendly for minority representation and minor political parties. We need to lock down Texas. They wont stop unless you permanently remove their ability to gain any ground. With the voting rights act destroyed. We cannot afford any chances of playing 'fair". It only becomes fair if we introduce reform to supreme court and federal laws
My mental health is in all time drain. But i am not giving up. I am praying, donating and i am possibly gonna consider phonebanking for the downballot candidates because this fucking disgusting evil needs to stop. This is too much and Texas is gonna the epicenter and battleground of who truly wields power. This is the state that will decide everything and i swear to the dems will capture a significant portion of the downballot races. It is not enough to win Talarico senate seat. We need to win everywhere.
There was a period of time in America when Black men were murdered for registering people to vote. There were times when federal troops were stationed in cities across the South to enforce voting rights. And how bad can it get? Google the Greenwood Food Blockade. I promise it has been a lot worse. At one period of time, teenagers were dragged out of their homes, mutilated, and murdered for the accusation of whistling at a white woman.
In America, things have been uglier. In America, things have been worse. We're all at risk, yes. But we aren't helpless. People before us organized under conditions we can barely imagine. The least we can do is keep showing up, phonebanking, voting, building something better piece by piece. And if you EVER need a break, TAKE IT, and don't feel bad about it. We all understand mental health in this space.
I know. believe me i know and oh boy how i regret we werent able to finish reconstruction by dear god. But this country doesnt really give you a chance to get a break, Its so messed up how we have to live in this reality.
Which is why, to this day, I struggle with calling Donald Trump the worst president, over Andrew Johnson, who pardoned the Confederates and unleashed 100 years of terror on the South.
You forgot Buchanan. If Andrew Johnson was the coda, Buchanan's racist doddering fostered the already burning embers leading up to the Civil War to grow.
May 2 is an Election Day. In Bexar County only 6105 votes have been cast. I believe it is for around 100,000 people. So that is 6% so far. Why don’t people take voting seriously! I hope they are voting in other parts of Texas.

Dori said it all. And that is what we do.
That's why moms know best. 🫶🏻

How can we not despair?

Googling it right now.

Fair point. Buchanan broke the country. Johnson made sure Reconstruction never fixed it.
