"Bei der vergangenen Wahl haben Biden und Harris gesagt, sie retten die Demokratie und unsere Institutionen. Und die Amerikaner antworteten: Warum wollt ihr etwas retten, was für uns nicht funktioniert?"

Lesenswertes Interview!

If we’re unable to organize politically, freely contest political decisions, peacefully and democratically vie for power, then we no longer live in a democracy. At that point, we’re once again subjects.

That’s why we’re fighting so hard for our rights in TX.

Ken Paxton’s lawsuit against Beto O’Rourke is crumbling as a Republican appeals court ruled his fundraising ban unconstitutional. Judges blasted Paxton’s case as prior restraint on free speech, exposing his abuse of office for partisan gain.

Ken Paxton’s legal crusade against Beto O’Rourke is faltering before Republican appeals court - Salon.com

The court, appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott, cast doubt on Paxton’s main arguments.
