Ken Paxton has won the Republican nomination for US Senate in Texas and will face James Talarico in November.
Paxton was impeached by his own party for bribery and corruption, said the Uvalde school shooting was “God’s plan,” and offered a child rapist a 1-day jail sentence.
The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:

The media now has a long history of passing off people deeply connected to GOP politics as regular everyday voters in the Trump era. It took me like 90 seconds to find out that she doesn’t live in DC and testified in Congress in favor of Trump’s tax cut bill, which feels like relevant context if she’s going to be interviewed about her views. @ABC
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
It’s really important as a society that we don’t become desensitized to the sheer brutality and evilness of a “skull being broken” by “immigration officers”.
everyone is becoming desensitized to the fact this man is a pedophile. he’s a pedophile, a human trafficker, a rapist. i know you’re tired but don’t stop being angry. heads need to roll for this.
Donald Trump raped a 13 year old. The president of the United States raped a child. Yet he will still be supported by millions. What will it take for people to wake up and get this man out of office?
