Paxton’s lawsuit claims that a get-out-the-vote advertisement campaign from Harris County’s office essentially constitutes reverse racism because it encouraged Black and Latino voters (groups with historically lower access to elections) to vote. Harris County is Texas’s most diverse county, notably housing Houston.

      They are given fewer voting locations for larger populations, leading to long lines, and requiring a lot more effort from the voter to get their ballot cast.

        Just focusing on the one about marriage. Why are they concerned that a law about who can marry who, would have an effect on schools? Do they want to marry school children?

        They couldn’t even make it without a bunch of AI slop.

        Their arguments against gay marriage are just so transparently hateful. I’ve seen people on FB try to claim the amendment is “unnecessary” as if the rest of us don’t realize that the maga bigots would ban gay marriage the very first chance they get. Gaslighting liars.

      No you don’t understand. They don’t mention white people therefore it’s racist to white people. /S

    Ken paxton is such a petty criminal, he literally swiped someone’s $1000 pen. Pure instinctive, crime-of-opportunity style larceny.

    If ken paxton was not white, ken paxton would be calling for ken paxton to be deported.

    Any time I see pictures of this douchecanoe, he reminds me of that alien from the first men in black movie that is wearing that human skin asking for sugar water.

    White people hate it when everyone else uses their tactics. Weird. Maybe privilege doesn’t feel so good when equal.

    Anyone can sue for anything and if you don’t respond you automatically lose.

    It’s no doubt a SLAPP suit. There’s no intention for or belief in winning, the suit exists only to threaten someone into silence/insction. Trial attorneys are a specific type, the expensive type. They usually want a 4 figure retainer just to read/review.

    He’s just jealous that a black lady can run for President (and lose!), and still have a county named after her. Where’s Paxton County, huh? How can that be fair at all?
