The #TXGOP is about enact a law that snuffs out local control. They don't like Democratic controlled cities in our our state, so they are capping us at the knees.
nytimes.com/2023/06/03/opi…
We may well reach a point where our cities rebuff these laws. The response from the state may be draconian in a worst case scenario. Tx has 19K Nat Gaurds and 2200 Troopers. Of course Abbott would have to give up his fake border crisis to send troops into a city.
When will voters wake up and understand what is at stake? I don't know exactly when and where the tipping point is in our state, but I do think these new laws are moving the date closer, not further.

🧵Honestly, I don't think a lot of Democrats see the big picture with public education. The GOP wants it to fail. They want to choke the life out of it. They see that it has created a generation that has completely turned on them. They are furious. This is retribution.
They want to make teachers miserable. They underpay them to make sure. They even screw their retirement pay over. The more that quit, the better. Then the GOP wags its fingers and says school districts are failuring. Then it roles out private charters and funds them
by taking away the school's funding.

They are creating these insane laws like book banning to scare teachers and librarians who want to teach the truth about history and America.

Brock lives in TX and was involved in Jan. 6th in DC. He had been a pilot but was fired afterward. He is now a home inspector in the DFW area and @TRECommission is fine with it. Texas Realtor Cos. are overrun with MAGA supporters. Their PACs regularly support GOP candidates.
You may remember Brock was the guy with a handful of zip tie handcuffs he planned on using against elected officials. Image

🧵There is a lot of confusion I am seeing on how people vote in Texas and how the statistical charts can track them. Let me try to clarify some of that for you all.
Anything you do around voting is public record and the TX Sec of State has those records. Registering, early voting, change of address, you name it.
In Texas, when you register to vote, you do not register as a Democrat or Republican as in some other states.
Thus, the data can not tell us how you will vote, or who you voted for.
There is a caveat though. Texas has what is called open primaries. This allows voters to pick which party's ballot they want for the primary race. So, you either vote in the Democratic primary, or the GOP.

🧵Let's get down to #earlyvoting brass tacks. Final Total Votes:
EV: 5.15M
Mail ballots 319K
Total 5.47M which was 31% of voters
'18 EV: 4.52M
629K more votes in '22 Image
The Top 7 Urban/ Suburban bluer counties finished strong, above '18's haul yesterday. This was thanks to Harris County, which came in w/ 105K votes. Overall the top 7 came up short 297K votes from '18. Not too bad, but it means ED needs to be strong for Democrats to have a shot. Image
The bluer counties had a slower start due to limited voting hours in week 1. I place the blame squarely on the #txlege who addressed voting hours last session by limiting them. Beginning Saturday when younger, working folks could vote, they did and kept going all week. Image

The charter bus co. @govabbott hired to bus migrants to DC is owned by Cart Enterprises in NC. It's owner appears to be Javon David Elder. From my research, he was in prison for dealing drugs just prior to starting this biz 2 years ago. Why would Abbott hire this company?
Corporate Records for Cart Enterprises. Created 9/17/2019 in NC. Javon David Elder is a member.

The media needs to pick up on the story about #EliazarCisneros the #magaterrorist who rammed a campaign workers car and tried to run the #bidenbus off the road. Here is what I have learned digging around. He is from San Antonio, he is 48. He may work for @TechnipFMC in energy.
He has a pending DUI charge in S.A. search.bexar.org/Case/CaseDetai…
He was granted a restricted driver's license in January likely from his DUI case.
