140 Days of cruelty, corruption, and corporate handouts is finally over.

The 89th Texas Legislature is over, but the damage will echo for years. This session was 100% about control. Control over classrooms, bodies, ballots, and truth itself. In 140 days, Republican lawmakers pushed through some of the most cynical, cruel, and corrupt legislation weve seen in modern Texas history, and they did it with a smile.
Dont let them pretend otherwise. Dont let them say it was about parents rights or border security or fiscal responsibility. It was about power. It was about erasing opposition. And they think well move on.
We wont.
They passed plenty of garbage. But theres the silver lining. They put it all in writing.
So, as they strut home to take credit for gutting public schools and bullying kids, were going to do something radical, and thats pay attention. Because weve got receipts, and come November 2026 (and every fight before then), we plan to use them.

(48 posts)This wasnt a session. It was a slow-motion coup masked as governance. 140 days of backroom cruelty dressed up as values, while they gutted schools, hijacked bodies, and rewrote the rules so they never lose again.
And lets be clear they dont care if its legal, just that its permanent.
But youre damn right weve got receipts. Every vote, every bill, every smug press release. They carved it into law now we carve it into campaign ads.
