You also see this with the scientific racism types—there’s always something around the corner that will prove their irrational hatreds to be correct!

Another passel of rich assholes who think that “good Christian“ = “the law does not apply to me.”

As long as he takes it all out on Ken Paxton, I’m smiling.

My only problem with this is that his wife is also a public servant who also went on many of these trips, and they don’t mention her at all.

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It’s graft. The amount he and his wife have charged taxpayers for “security” on trips to places like Greece is just not credible.

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Yes! He’s using the most offensive terms he can think of (“beardos”?) because he thinks it makes him sound manly. It’s pathetic.

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Has Paxton ever debated before? I just kind of assume any previous “debate” was just Dunn & Wilks handing out bags of money until their boy was declared winner.

Yeah, I was just wondering about season salt.

Yeah, it’s amazing how profitable these social programs can be if you just don’t distribute the benefits! (Please don’t ask where those taxes dollars are going instead.)

And in that case, it seemed super-naive—the entire reason The Black School existed was to keep Black people down, so why would it be good? With this I guess the system is less simply racist, but there’s a similar blindness on the behalf of the parent to how it operates.

000

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Yeah, I feel really weirdly about this because in the 1970s, my parents were the white liberals who decided to desegregate schools themselves by sending their kids to The Black School, only to be shocked that the education provided in that school was, you know, bad. 1/

It’s another unsexy-yet-effective thing that people tend to undervalue because the very rich are doing their utmost to prevent change.

I separate the shots (allergies) & do flu a bit later, and this year’s COVID shot just exhausted me for two days! I suspect it was a fever, because I was also uncomfortably warm.

I was just thinking today that even if I renovate the kitchen, it will still look like crap because I actually cook in it.

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

You know, there was this narrative a few years ago that Paxton was this charismatic charmer who voters just couldn’t help but love, and it’s been very gratifying to watch him actually have to campaign and fail miserably at it. Not so easy when you’re not in Tim Dunn’s sandbox, is it?

000

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

This is typically why right wing groups crack up, though—they all hate each other, and eventually that means they can’t work together. So let them wedge themselves into oblivion ASAP.

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Funny, when you talk to the abusive, substance-using parents, they always swear up & down they never did anything wrong! Trump really speaks to them, so you must be stupid & it must be voting habits.

My standard for songs about Texas is that they really have to go hard on the state name—✨🎶TEXAAAS!!!🎶📣 (whee-haw!) “Choosing Texas” utterly fails to meet this standard.

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Yeah, ableist BS. Lots of people need to have things organized a certain way to do their jobs efficiently, and you’ve clearly put a lot of thought into what works for you. Some people don’t, and they usually don’t get much done.

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Definitely a factor in Texas, where you just have to seduce some weird billionaire and the Republicans will line up behind you over and over and over again.

Trump’s not going to pivot, that’s for sure.

As opposed to the RGV, which usually votes Dem but where Trump had been making inroads. 🙄 She’s just racist, right? She’s upset because the swingy Dems they want to lock down are Latino.

Mary Sisson @msisson.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Yeah, I mean not hitting people up for money on the very day some really upsetting news has happened seems like a no-brainer. I would be thanking the person who pointed that out to me—it’s not worth potentially alienating big donors by appearing insensitive. Arrogant & entitled!

IMO one of the most important local elections in the country (boltsmag.org/prosecutor-a...)

"Long before Trump began sowing unfounded doubts about the 2020 presidential race, Republicans in Tarrant County, home to Fort Worth, were notorious for their selective enforcement of election laws and for the harsh prosecution of Crystal Mason, a woman who mistakenly thought she could vote while on probation and was sentenced years in prison.

DA Phil Sorrells, who came into office after the 2022 midterms, has continued that legacy. He helped launch a task force to police local elections, and he continued to prosecute Mason even after an appeals court overturned her conviction in 2024. This fall, he filed criminal charges against Lon Burnam, a former state lawmaker who was expelled from a public meeting and forcibly arrested for speaking out against a GOP plan to dramatically reduce polling places.

Sorrells faces Democratic challenger Tiffany Burks in a competitive rematch of their 2022 election. Burks, who has worked as a prosecutor in the office, has signaled a very different direction from Sorrells on such cases. “We are talking about a county where they are doing everything that they can to suppress the vote,” she said in an interview last month.

She is currently representing Burnam in court, and she said last month that her “first item on business” as DA would be to drop the county’s efforts to reinstate Mason’s conviction. (That won’t be necessary after all: Texas’ highest criminal court ruled in favor of Mason and against Sorrells on Sept. 24, upholding Mason’s 2024 acquittal.)"

And he’s just a huge hypocrite about limited government & local control! His ads are all about how he’s the only one who can protect you from your evil, tax-raising local government, as though local elections don’t exist. Because all power flows through Greg Abbott…

I feel it’s more like they developed an aversion to calling it human sacrifice. Witch trials & a lot of religious killings IMO were mighty close—got to end that plague by killing the Jews & making God happy again.

“We have to kill these people to end this natural disaster!” seems to have been a popular framework….

Ugh, I hate this kind of crap. I moved to Texas to help take care of my sick mother. She moved to Texas so that my brother could take care of her, but he died. He moved here because the woman he would marry moved here. She moved her because UT was good & cheap. Guess we‘re all horrible!

Yeah, 99% of the time when someone is praising a RW figure for their honesty, what they mean is, “This guy is openly racist, and I like it.”
