Good news: people in Texas are registering to vote. 🗳 🤠 Bad news: the Republicans are not processing them. An "unidentified problem" created a massive backlog in tens of thousands of registrations. In one county, 45,000 registrations have been backlogged. Hopeful. But suspicious. ☹️
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- County election offices throughout Texas are scrambling to process a massive backlog of voter registration applications stemming from an error at the state level, a headache that is hitting just as they are preparing for voting to begin in the midterm elections
The problem, which officials in the
Republican-controlled state have not publicly defined. This also could have disenfranchised people who wanted to vote in the state's March primary but whose registration applications were never processed, local election officials said during a news conference Wednesday
'This is really out of left field. Knowing that this one element of (state) applications didn't come through, and we had no insight on it," said Chris McGinn, executive director of the Texas Association of County Election Officials
The size of the backlog statewide hasn't been determined. but the association said it is in the tens of thousands for some of the state's most populous counties. In Bexar County, which includes San Antonio, the election office received about 45,000 backlogged voter registratior applications.

Trump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."

Once again, the Supreme Court prioritizes imaginary harms done to Trump by not allowing him to indulge in his conspiracy theories, as opposed to the very real harm done to citizens who may lose the ability to vote in this case.

The Republicans in the Senate could at the very least call for a pause on ICE operations. Instead, they do nothing, allowing ICE to radicalize Hispanic voters, creating conditions in Texas and Florida in which GOP gerrymanders cannot blunt the backlash.

It was the Trump administration’s latest stumble in its effort to find proof of widespread noncitizen voting, despite decades of evidence that it is extremely rare.

Octavia E. Butler’s novel “Parable of the Talents” depicts a dystopian United States run by Christian Nationalists. Their slogan is “Make America Great Again.” Published in 1998, many years before Trump’s political career, but this poem in the book prophesied Trump. (Poem from @zymplex.bsky.social)

Texas just suspended 1.2 million voter registrations because Talarico is beating Paxton in the polls. And OF COURSE they won’t tell us how many of those voters come from Democratic districts. Texas isn’t a democracy. It’s a racist fascist state.

I'm running for LBJ's Senate seat. Like me, Lyndon Johnson was a Texas teacher. In office, he made the largest federal investment in America’s students this country has ever seen. When we win back LBJ’s seat, we can pass an LBJ-sized investment in America’s public schools.

If caring about others is not enough to support accessibility, how about self interest? Disability comes for us all. It is so much a part of living that the only thing that will keep you from disability is death.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
