We are not encouraged to talk about sexual assault. We are told to go quietly, shamed into silence. What is happening to #JaneDoe: it isn’t about me. But it IS about US. So I’m talking. I was molested at 5. I was assaulted by my boss at 22. There have been near misses and escapes all along the way.

A Fox News spokesperson suggested to me today that the network *would* host a Texas Senate debate -- it's only one of the most closely watched races in the country! -- if Paxton would agree to it. “We will move forward with the debate if both candidates commit to appearing.”

Texas enjoys making voting an absolute nightmare. And now, THIS (yes Alt Text is included)?? [Anyone reporting on this yet? Wilco likes using FB for their "official" announcements and they announced this on Facebook about an hour ago today Thurs Sept 24th.]
Facebook post from the Williamson County Texas Elections Dept official account:
"Over the past 24 hours, Texas county voter registrars across the state have received a flood of new voter registrations and updates to voter registration records submitted through the Texas Department of Public Safety. Some of these submissions date as far back as October 2025, but were not sent to Texas county voter registrars until this week. In Williamson County, we received approximately 18,000 records to process as a result of a technological error at the state level that caused this major backlog. Williamson County voters should be confident that county election officials are working around the clock to ensure valid voter registrations submitted in a timely manner before the deadline will be processed appropriately, despite the challenges and additional time that this backlog has created. We encourage Williamson County voters to verify their registration status by visiting www.wilcotx.gov/elections or https://www.votetexas.gov/register-to-vote/index.html to verify that their current voter registration information is updated and on file ahead of the October 5th deadline."
