If Trump is deploying troops in DC, then this is another step toward martial law? Because we also have troops on the streets in California and on the border in Texas.

This feels like an escalation.

Strongly disagree, Talarico is the real deal, much more beyond his religion. He really fights for the ideals Texas Democrats have, anti-corruption, pro-worker, pro-civil rights, weโ€™re like him.

Or we could just vote for someone else in the primaries who better aligns with our values.

I'm sorry if you felt like I talked down to you. It's just how I talk. Perhaps it was lost in text.

The Texas Democratic Party is the most progressive party in America, if you didnโ€™t know.

Heโ€™s won several elections, but he hasnโ€™t won a statewide election yet. He will next year.

lol, fuck no. Do you think the 56 Texas Democrats who broke quorum are closeted Republicans?

James Talarico isnโ€™t imaginary.

Youโ€™re entitled to that opinion. I would say the majority of TX Democrats disagree, Allredโ€™s positions are extremely conservative and I do not believe heโ€™ll get through the primaries. I will not support him in the primaries.

In the generals? Iโ€™d vote for roadkill before I voted for a Republican.

Not really, Collin Allred is a DC Democrat.

The Texas Democratic Party is the most progressive party in America. Thatโ€™s what I mean. Allredโ€™s platform is far to the right of the TDPโ€™s platform.

I asked him in 2024 to his face if he supported universal healthcare. His answer was, โ€œno.โ€

What? Texas Democrats are leftists. Read their platform.

Yesterday on The Bulwark, Colin Allred talked about purity tests and said (paraphrasing) the way heโ€™ll win Texas is by pandering to Conservatives like Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney.

Like, did he not learn ANYTHING from his first Senate run? ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

These are truly awful people. It gets repetitive saying it over and over, but the fact of it never becomes any less true. What does one do, with this kind of venality always ambient, out in the world where one lives all the time?

Totally and completely normal to jail political opponents.

During a Republican Party of Texas meeting today, their general council, Rachel Hooper, said one of their priorities was putting Texas Legislative House Caucus Chair @genefortexas.bsky.social in jail. (Notice the fake mugshot on screen?) #txlege

At todayโ€™s Republican Party of Texas meeting, the RPT Chairman at the behest of Greg Abbott said they want to redraw the state legislative maps now, too. Called Democratic districts, โ€œDEI districts.โ€ #txlege

He has known militia ties in Denton, and sent armed lunatics to a Beto rally in 22. He may not be violent, but he pals around with violent people. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
