Gun registration is tyranny, but THIS is totally okay.

LGBTQ+ communities and individuals need to arm themselves.

The time for gun control measures passed a long time ago, that cat is out of the bag.

This the same famously corrupt Ken Paxton who is indicted on securities fraud and bribery? Who then was suspended from office by the TX house of representatives?

Sure seems like he should be worrying more about his own affairs rather than oppressing trans folks

When you're under indictment, that's the perfect time to create political spectacle and distract everyone's attention.

If you have enough crimes they apparently can't just prosecute you for them at the same time!

Get out of consequences of your shitty behaviour by doing more shitty things that hurt people.

Every day I wonder if today will be the day that Texas starts to round up all the trans people on their trans registry. We live in a nightmare.

Texas, Florida, and a bunch of other states. Erin’s national legislation map is terrifying.

I am terrified to be honest. I'm trying to find work outside of the state as fast as possible, but no luck so far

Honestly the things i'm most worried about for the very near future are the banning of changing legal documents (specifically birth certificates, because they're tied to your state of birth much more than other docs) and banning hrt for under 21. It'll likely be at least a few more years till something like rounding us up happens (if it does).
