A Relentless Zebra @relentlesszebra.bsky.social · 10/11/2025You cannot simultaneously be mad that the Senate Dems caved when House Dems are holding the line and view Schumer as an effective leader, bc if he was an effective leader he would have kept his caucus in line, not helped them orchestrate this bullshit. 0104

A Relentless Zebra @relentlesszebra.bsky.social · 30/10/2025I will never stop screaming that gerrymandering (and voter suppression tactics, which Texas *loves*) and voter apathy are pretty strongly connected. When you gerrymander and make it hard for ppl to vote, over time you make them believe their vote doesn't matter. 010

A Relentless Zebra @relentlesszebra.bsky.social · 21/08/2025The most insane part of this is that Burrows is viewed by a LOT of Republicans in the Texas House (and Senate, tbh) to be a RINO.
