I'm a feminist progressive Texas dork who loves video games, dragons, coffee, cheap wine, fantasy books, fighting fascists and hating bigots. I ❤️ causing trouble. A bit of blue hair stuck in a red state.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.
This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

Texas has a special election for Sylvester Turner's seat (TX-18), a full seven months after he died, because Abbott capriciously delayed it.
A simple, long overdue reform would be for Congress to mandate by federal law how soon after a vacancy special elections have to happen.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
