Phenomenal breakdown from Eliza Orlins about how Texas disenfranchised Black voters last night.

The same mechanisms they used on Jasmine Crockett for the primaries they will use on Talarico in the general and of course blame the same voters 🙄

One woman—Veronica Anderson, 66 years old—walked two and a half miles to the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center to vote. She was told she was at the wrong place and would need to go to a precinct she’d never even heard of. She stood outside trying to figure out what to do.

Thank you for reporting. I guess we need a blue wave of chauffeurs to take voters to the polls!

The fascists are ruthless, shameless, and actively aided and abetted by their stacked courts. Our only advantage is that they telegraph all their moves well ahead of time.

No need to cancel elections when you can do this

"You don’t suppress votes in a primary to win the primary. Republicans aren’t on the Democratic ballot. Ken Paxton isn’t losing anything if more Democrats vote tonight.

But here’s what you do gain: you weaken whoever comes out of it. You damage the eventual nominee."

Remember shit like this in Florida? The mainstream news always softens their reporting when something goes wrong on Election Day. Makes it seem like there’s some “explanation“ when reality is someone’s pulling some BULLSHIT.

Must read:

I imagine this will be one of multiple tactics. In places like TX where Rs have an AG, a governor, or both, they’ll lead the push to go to court. In states where they don’t, they’ll have private parties ready, challenging registrations beforehand and totals afterward. This is just the beginning.

This is real bad and we should absolutely be prepping for far worse in November—

and also holy hell are they terrified

I don't understand why "we're safe because they can't post ICE at very many polling places" has been a line of reasoning. These people are basically the Joker, except smarter and in a world not designed as a morality play.

This is not compelling. We need to be where the people are. And all of my people are on Substack.

Look, I post across 8 platforms a day.

While I understand your position, do you own an iPhone? Use any meta platforms? Own a car?

We all do the best we can.

I'm the granddaughter of a holocaust survivor, trust me, I fucking hate nazis, but I'm probably sticking with what I have for now.

I'm not sure if this is better, but I do post the full text on my Facebook:

"I need you to think about why you’d do this in a Democratic primary... You weaken whoever comes out of it. You damage the eventual nominee. You shape the field. You get a test run for your playbook."

Here’s how Texas Republicans gamed the state’s complex and confusing election laws to ratfuck the Democratic primary. It’s a preview of how Republicans will ratfuck the General election in November.

Definitely worth reading. I'm genuinely hoping this isn't a preview of what's coming in November.

Thank you so much for the compliment!

That's exactly what I was aiming to do.

Thanks for an easy-to-understand outline of how Texas Republicans gamed the state’s complex and confusing election laws to ratfuck the Democratic primary. It’s a preview of how Republicans will ratfuck the General election in November.

VERY IMPORTANT READ to understand what happened in Texas primary voting today.

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s actions may have reshaped today’s TX Senate primary. He used his federal office to pressure a network—& instead handed his target a national platform, $2.5M in a single day, & 9 million YouTube views.

Texas voters decide whether it backfired.

HOLY SHIT.

HATS OFF TO SNL.

Way to figure out a way to take a dig at the men’s hockey team AND Trump and make the boys palatable.

Thank you for not betraying us while Connor was hosting. Thank you for the acknowledgment.

This was masterful. #snl
