I don’t know whether Democrats can block the [Texas voter suppression] bill in the special session. I assume it will pass eventually. Even if it doesn’t, fourteen states have already passed restrictions on voting just since the 2020 election, with more to come.
Not pleasant, but we need to be aware. If HR1 can get through the Senate we can nip this in the bud. If not … prepare to live under real fascism (as opposed to narcissistic fake dictator in clown uniform fascism.) Click though for detaills.
