I like that the Texas Observer is willing to at least imply what those of us on the left have been shouting for decades: Republican policies often kill people.

They know this in advance and still pass those laws, which makes them de facto murderers.

The cruelty is the point. As long as the "right" people get hurt, they're happy about it.

And in Texas, it's very likely to be the "right" people doing outdoor work in the blazing heat.

Absolutely. Hurting the "the others" being inherently virtuous is a core tenet of fascism, after all..

As a Texan, I'd love to see these anti-human murderers see some justice.

Sadly, I doubt I'll see the day.
