Yes, I'm sure Phelan's intentions for the bill will be completely honored by Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick once it's on the books.  The only way to stop shit like that is to put a stop to the unlimited dirty money flowing into politician's campaign coffers. I'm going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen

I still have PTSD from the mountains of shit Phelan and Covey shoveled into my mailbox last year. Every single fucking day it was crammed full of propaganda. I live on a private drive now but the same goes for door hangers and flyers.

Tv? Everytime I turned it on someone was screaming “Dade Phelan is the lab grown cross between Joe Biden, Ho Chi Minh, Vladimir Lenin, and chairman Mao!!!!!!11!!!”

Covey canvassers forced their way into Dade’s living room when he wasn’t home and harassed his wife, and wouldn’t leave until DPS forcibly removed them. Then they stationed a trooper in front of his house for the remainder of campaign season.

I personally had a MAGA clad asshole covey supporter come into my garage while I was sweeping to start an argument. Then another young adult stopped by and wanted to take a survey, and when I told him he should be ashamed he looked at the ground and said “look, man, I’m just trying to earn some money and they are paying well” which made me feel horrible and apologize for being an asshole.

Just typing this post makes me tremble in rage. It’s a stupid bill but I can appreciate the motivation. Covey and his fracking backers tried to ratfuck him and thank god he won the runoff - this time.

The guy Talarico is questioning is Stan Gerdes, State Representative for Bastrop, Burleson, Caldwell, Lee, and Milam counties. The guy isn't an old or really even a rural rube either. He's a 39yo Texas grad whose biography seems to indicate he's lived in and around Austin, as well as DC, for the last two decades.

He didn't write this bill out of ignorance or gullibility. It's just another example of manipulative lies to throw on the pile with the intent of breeding hate, scaring old people, and destroying public education in Texas. If any of you live in that district, he and his staff need to be mocked and hassled relentlessly over this complete stupidity.

I realize that Talarico's M.O. is calm and patient logic, but he missed a chance to ask that asshole if he wants his name permanently attached to such an imbecilic law that folks will still be making fun of in 100 years like we do other pointless bullshit on the books like those forbidding using feather dusters in public buildings or milking your neighbor's cow. 

Or maybe Talarico should take Brisket's advice and just start accusing the guy of being a sick pedo to his face for fantasizing about children using a peepee box while wearing garanimals.

I know administrators that have had to release public statements saying they do not have litter boxes in their schools.

It was actually a campaign issue in Round Rock a few years ago and the district had to release a statement. It reads like an onion article.

Yeah, pretty sure you can thank this very special person for all of this furry and cat litter talk....same story as the other right wingers, a basic nobody and then rose to "fame" by making an outlandishly false claim..now lives off the far right salary in some made up policy org..

It's like every conspiracist from the John Birchers on down to today's anti-vaxxers are running the show now.

Super proud of y'all out in Lake Travis, troph

I’ll admit it, we showed up at the victory party around 10pm after final results announced, we walked in all Bradley Cooper style at the end of American Hustle, I kinda blew open the front door and screamed “yeaaaaaah!!! We beat those nasty haters!!!”

everyone looked at us like who are these weirdos, except the school board candidates, the current lib on the board and the president of the progressive pac, all of whom smiled with glee.

The president then said, “everyone, this is troph and her wife, they raised the money for the last surge, she’s kind of a big deal.”

it was exactly as I dreamed it in my head!

not sure how long we are going to be here but we aren’t fucking around. Western Travis county has enough progressives to make a difference. I can’t do it all, I’ve done my penance phone banking and canvassing and so I’m not doing that but we can raise some fucking bank to beat the fascists out here. And if we are going to flee, we are going to do so trying all the way until the end.

Andy Hopper's candidate in the Denton School board got trounced too. Mansfield flipped. 

https://www.newsweek.com/texas-school-board-mansfield-election-day-2067789

Democratic Texas state Representative Chris Turner wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "There is something poetic that the day Greg Abbott signs his voucher scam into law, reform candidates in Mansfield ISD are running the table. Voters are angry about the way our public schools have been treated in #txlege and want strong, pro-public education leaders."

Activist Carlos Turcios wrote on X: "Horrible News in Mansfield Texas. The Radical DEI Left has flipped the conservative school board. Mansfield ISD has capitulated to the DEI-LGBTQ Left."

Alumnus of two Mansfield elementary schools here, and grapevine middle and high. 
 

nice to see the results. Hope it makes a difference there and all the other places that voted for change/decency.

When I went to research the different KISD candidates, the very first sentence from Perez on why he should be re-elected to a FUCKING SCHOOL BOARD was that he was a “strong Christian conservative.”
No additional research needed. Proud of the voters.

the best thing about last night... we walked into a home of engaged, motivated and happy people, who care for one another and others even if those others are not like them, and they (we) were straight, gay, white, Hispanic, black, men and women (including trans) and it was amazing, normal, refreshing, and just undeniably right.  there can be hope.

I certainly “hope” you are right.

Was the same for me. When a board candidate waffles on supporting librarians, it makes it really easy to select.

there's going to be a backlash like there always is in the mid terms. the real question is when will good people realize that you have to vote in every god damned election and you have to organize, give money and give time to help our neighbors who are running, from city council and school board to state rep and senate to state wide and then federal and national elections.  it's not an option anymore.

And possibly even more than that, will those who remain passive forget all this shit conveniently.  Like they seemed to in 2024.

Absolutely correct.

Hopefully at least some people might figure it out and I am pretty sure many of the people having their faces devoured by leopards will help swing the mid terms.

Seeing these school board results in Texas is an early, encouraging sign.

my dream is the voucher shit went one step too far and we actually make a dent in the state legislature and congressional races. it's still too much to ask for state wide offices.

I agree and I think we just saw that with these school board results but we need the rural Texans to stand up and say enough!

That will be interesting.

They already fucked their small towns for eternity with the voucher bill.

Yes and hopefully those people will respond accordingly.

Wait until they can longer afford to replace the lights in the football stadium.

Maybe that will wake them the fuck up.
