Seeing a school library with torn out book shelves just hit me as one of the saddest things I could have seen today, Texas wtf are y'all doing? Failing your damn kids is the answer.

Texas is trying to dumb down future generations to try and change their voting habits.

I mean aren't they dumb and Republican enough as is?

Honestly there’s a lot of sneaky voter suppression that goes on here and we’re gerrymandered to hell. I think in 2020 all of Houston had like 4 ballot dropoffs? So that means a lot of residents would be driving an hour both ways to drop off a vote. Personally my library has changed precincts the night before voting day a few times. I’ve had to tell people that lived in the same apartment complex that their polling stations were 30 minutes apart.

Right? It's depressing as hell.
