In 1984. Recent law school grad Greg Abbott was jogging in the affluent Houston, Texas suburb of River Oaks. When he jogged past Divorce attorney Roy Moore's home. A giant oak tree broke and tragically fell on Greg Abbott. Crushing his spine and leaving him paralyzed. Uninsured and unemployed. Abbott had no health insurance. He had over $81,000 in hospital bills. He sued. Abbott got his hospital bills paid and received over $5.7 million dollars in payouts from Moore's home insurance and the tree services company who failed to detect the tree was rotten inside. Still to this day Greg Abbott gets a monthly check that includes cost of living increases each year. And will receive a check for the rest of his life. When Abbott was on the Texas Supreme court . He voted to decrease the amount of money someone in a similar situation could receive. Gregg Abbott supported capping non medical damages in cases like his at $250,000. A reward like the multi million dollars in payouts Abbott received and still receives each and every month till the day he dies would be impossible today. Of course these bills were crafted to not be retroactive. So they do not affect Greg Abbotts payments. Gregg Abbott does everything he can to hurt us Texans. While he laughs all the way to the bank every month with his very generous monthly check that he happily denies to another Texan who is injured in the same way as Abbott was. It goes without saying. This is another example of a GOP hypocrite. OK for me but not for any other Texan. That should be Gov. Greg Abbotts theme song for his life. What a despicable man who cares nothing about anyone's pain and suffering. He got his and to Abbot and the GOP. That's all that matters. @NewBlueUSA #DemVoice1

The central claim of Christian nationalism is that America belongs to Christians and exists for their benefit. That sets it apart from civil religion or other forms of God and county politics.

"I can't because of my religion" is freedom of religion
"You can't because of my religion" weaponizes religion and rapidly leads us down an authoritarian path
Freedom of Religion must include Freedom from Religion
Granbury ISD’s superintendent apparently has a regular practice of deleting the text messages he receives as they come in. That’s public record. He’s breaking the law. @DemocracyFwd is trying to help me stop this practice.

The terror around making the wrong decision can be so overwhelming to some people that they basically decide to never decide because they don't want to make the wrong decision. #youareabadass#QOTD#FridayFeeling#FridayMotivation

7 Mountains Dominionism. It’s the engine that makes white Christian nationalism go. It’s what billionaires driving the movement buy into. You need to understand what it’s about. #christiannationalism#seeitnameitfightit

According to The Federalist, enough with “conservatives”, it’s time for full blown fascism.
The article is terrifying. It is the scorched earth future the 7 Mountains / white Christian nationalism adherents are striving for.
You better show up and VOTE!
