This seems to be the new MO for Texas - straight out of an authoritarian playbook. Just horrifying! I will be donating to Beto O'Rourke's campaign bc Texas desperately needs a different governor.

In a way I'm glad that Trump and cronies are showing their true authoritarian colors in a way that can't be excused but it's also terrifying how many people in the US that appeals to. The whole world is condemning Putin and rooting for Ukraine - all except the Tucker Carlson's of the world. Just mindboggling...
