@NedStanley@DeAngelisCorey It’s called technocracy (rule by experts) & why governors, mayors & city councils shut down their societies killing small businesses and creating fear. It served their purposes.
As an advocate for #texit I have discovered that many in #Texas actually want the “knife” to their throat before they will believe that our relationship with the US is destructive and the US is lost.
"It can happen. It is possible. As a Russian proverb says: 'When it happens to you, you'll know it's true.'
But do we really have to wait for the moment when then knife is at our throat?"

@Small_Gov I got nothing against the Continent, but the United States government and the majority of its people have forgotten our institutions and blindly support the swing of totalitarianism in the US.
Agree with @MQSullivan about the terrible culture at the #TxLege. After 30+ years, I've never seen it worse. Though as much as we can rightly blame many of our elected officials, ultimately we have to blame ourselves for continuing to elect them.

@JakeEllzey If we are having to declare Texas as a sanctuary for a natural right already protected by the Constitution is the very reason #texit needs to happen. Yet, acts in actually futility keep being pursued. Texans demand a vote and for #txlege to vote on #hb1359. #LetUsVoteTX
If we are having to declare our State as a sanctuary to a natural right protected in the US Constitution, then we are being threatened by an illegitimate government. It’s time we demand Texas reclaim its place among the community of nations! #texit#txlege#hb1359
Today is the second reading for HB 2622, which I am proud to co-author. This bill will make the Lone Star State a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary State by formally preventing the enforcement of federal statutes, laws, rules, regulations & executive orders of firearm & firearm accessory.
Yet, the people who were let into the Capitol Building and were abused by the CapHill Police were branded “terrorists” & arrested public ally by the FBI. Got it.
@sbkaufman Part of that is challenging “sacred cows” and challenging widely held narratives in the classroom. This forces learners to think critically, especially if they wish to defend their positions. And yes, this must swing both ways.
"If there is no final place for civil disobedience, then the government has been made autonomous, and as such, it has been put in the place of the living God."
- Francis A. Schaeffer, A Christian Manifesto
The lack of response from #txlege members about the lewd texts, adultery, & threats made to a private citizen who might expose it are deafening compared to the automatic guilt attached to the lobbyist accused of drugging a Capitol staffer. Can you say hypocrisy?
“A very typical Communist technique: To seize power without thinking of the fact that the productive forces will collapse, … that the country will decline into poverty and famine - but when poverty and hunger come, then they request the humanitarian world to help them.”
