Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.
ICYMI: This Saturday, progressive Taylor Rehmet squares off against a billionaire-funded Christian nationalist for a +17 Trump state senate seat in Tarrant County, a hub of the far right. Rehmet already over-performed, and is confident he’s on the verge of a stunning upset in a bellwether county.

Morgan developed his argument in this 1972 article which is very much worth reading. Basically, racialized slavery "solved" the political "labor problem" that modernizing European societies were grappling with. You could get labor, w/o giving those laborers rights. personal.tcu.edu/gsmith/Gradu...

WHY DOESN'T HE WISH THAT ON THE REPUBLICANS?

Some of you have it very twisted as to who exactly the problem is.

I’m mad at Hakeem Jeffries for *spins wheel* making demands of Republicans

This is consistent with my earlier position of being mad at him for not making demands because I’m still mad

Long story short, if you want to understand authoritarianism in America, you cannot view it as a foreign or unprecedented ideology. It has always been here. We've tamped it down, but it is an ongoing struggle. Hopefully we make progress after this madness is over, but it is never truly over. 8/x

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

the training thing is a useful instrumental lie to hamstring DHS ability to put goons on the streets and expand legislative oversight.

it would be cool if people would recognize it as such and move on instead of arguing with every damn press statement announcing that a Senator is doing a good thing
