I refuse to join the “let Texas secede” chorus.
It’s not a red state, it’s a suppression state.
What of the 4m people who voted for @BetoORourke against Cruz?
The 4.8m who voted for mjhegar against Cornyn?
Everyone who was denied equal access to the ballot?
Leave them to rot? #SaveTexas

You can’t say “just move.”
Not everybody can pick up and leave for a variety of reasons. Wealth. Health. Family. Work.
They’re stuck. Now courtesy of the republican destruction of Roe v. Wade, they are born there regardless of what the mother wants. #SaveTexas

Saying “F*ck Texas” says “F*ck you” to a lot of good people when you mean “F*ck Abbott,” or “F*ck the TX GOP.”

Those people are out there, doing their best in a hostile environment. They need encouragement. To know we have their back. That we’ll help anyway we can. So… #SaveTexas

What are the BEST WAYS you can think of to HELP Texans?

I don’t live there.
I’m not on the ground.
Let’s stop - myself included - treating them like a Red MAGA blob of hate.

This isn’t a debate. It’s opinion. Reply with ideas, I’ll amplify the best I can. ✌️ #SaveTexas

Exactly! “Red” states are voter-suppressed states. For decades we’ve been told not to discuss election integrity “to prevent voter apathy”, which played out well for those who don’t want us to vote. Not to mention, secession leads to aggression towards civilians & other states’ people & resources.
