Paxton’s wife just introduced a bill in the Texas Senate that would require photo ID to purchase a sex toy. For real. I wouldn’t joke about something like this.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point.
If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.
