Corrupt scumbag murderer Greg Abbott is showing more concern over New York City finally electing a good person to be their Mayor than he ever did for everyone who was murdered in Uvalde, Texas. Evil asshole.

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.
It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!
Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
