Texas Democrats are risking political careers, enduring personal sacrifice, and refusing to be complicit in Trump’s authoritarian playbook. They are showing the rest of us what it means to use every tool at your disposal.

But Texas Dems cannot win this fight alone. Let’s get to work. πŸ‘‡

Killing Democracyβ€”And Not Bothering to Hide It The assault is happening in plain sight, from the Epstein case to Texas reapportionment to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

"It’s warfare by the government against the justice system, against the presentation of true facts, against free and fair elections...Today, in the United States of America, liberal democracy is being killed not in darkness but in broad daylight."

A two-page letter on U.S. Senate letterhead dated July 30, 2025, addressed to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. The letter, signed by multiple Democratic Senators, expresses deep concern that over 140 EPA employees were placed on administrative leave after signing the β€œDeclaration of Dissent.” It urges Zeldin to restore the employees to active service, citing their First Amendment rights and referencing the Supreme Court’s Pickering decision, which recognized the importance of public employees speaking out on matters of public concern.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS!

Seventeen Senate Dems just urged Zeldin to reinstate #EPA workers placed on leave in retaliation for signing the #DeclarationofDissent.

The Declaration of Dissent condemns the admin’s politicization, science rollbacks, and climate of fear at EPA.

Was it a privilege for all those girls who were abused to find themselves on Epstein’s island?

I listened to those comments and wondered if I'd been transported back to the 19th century and was eavesdropping on a slave trader complaining about the even more corrupt slave trader down the street.

He said he didn’t have the β€œprivilege” to go to Epstein’s private island, and the next sentence he says he turned it down. Either he was invited or he wasn’t invited. Either way he’s a goddamn liar.

Exactly. Once they admit he’s done one bad thing, there can be no stopping point, as he’s a bottomless pit of moral depravity. And once they step on that slippery slope, they can’t escape their own culpability. So instead they look away, and lie to othersβ€”and to themselves.

There are two sides right now:

On the side of genocide
On the side of ending genocide

There is no nuance. There is no neutrality. There is no additional context needed. There is only complicity and ending genocide.

There is no Christian theology or eschatology that can justify man-made starvation.

Even if people are viewed as enemies, the Scriptures still tell us what to do:

β€œIf your enemies are hungry, feed them.”

The baptized have pledged their allegiance to Jesus Christ, not the Pentagon or the IDF.
