Iโ€™m just completely discouraged. That was the plan, right?

Well would you grow apathetic if your vote never counts?

Taught by a Texas football coach who was proud of right to work laws. Was a library director in Kansas. They are also proud of this law.

Going to guess it was a man.

I completely agree. The thought of a presidential library makes me want to be sick.

This state has gone to hell with this long republican reign.

I was a reference librarian in Texas during the census. That means I was to promote participation. It was like Abbott didnโ€™t want a true count.

Explain to me like I'm a four year old why Greg Abbott cares so much about my privacy and safety in a woman's bathroom yet disregards my right to privacy and safety in a gynecologist's office?

Iโ€™m not sure I can handle two terms of Chip Roy.

Totally fed up. Letโ€™s hang in there โœŒ๏ธ

I came across information this week that Texas is predominantly blue. So this state is not as dumb as I thought. Itโ€™s absolutely gerrymandered. Billionaire is a dirty word.

Be well.

They are desperate. The demographics are shifting rapidly. Remember Abbot sabotaged the census.

Not this Texan.

Iโ€™ve always thought this exact thing.

I am heartbroken over the tragic event that occurred in Texas. People on here ditch Texas but so many people are donating money to help. Others are delivering supplies. Texans are such good people. Thatโ€™s why I am perplexed by why we keep voting in evil people in office.

โ€˜All eyes on San Antonioโ€™: A blue stronghold is under siege in mayor's race Will San Antonio be a beacon of the Democratic resistance โ€” or set a new high-water mark for Texas Republicansโ€™ inroads in blue territory?

No prob. Believe me, many people want to leave, but canโ€™t. Texas is one of the worst states in the nation for high rates of poverty/uninsured people under Greg Abbott. Now heโ€™s going after the Blue Cities. Weโ€™re in a battle down here. sanantonioreport.org/san-antonio-...

They will never understand something this complex.

I used CFPB curriculum for library programs. I always kept their information handy for folks to grab.

Iโ€™m a retired librarian so I know this is perfectly awful. Whoโ€™s he coming for next? Sunday School teachers?

No weโ€™re not stupid. Work with us to defeat these republicans.

Well youโ€™ve never been a blue voter in a red state. It shows.
