She should probably never come back to Texas. She and her family will be a target.

I imagine ole Kenny boy will get on the horn to some civilian lackies to sue Uber, Southwest airlines, the airport that the plane took off from, etc under the original vigilante law that allows such to any person who "assists" in getting an abortion.

My daughter is twenty two years old and loved growing up in Texas. I told her to never live in this shithole state because it's becoming illegal for her to exist, so she's living and working in a civilized state at the expense of my rarely getting to see her.

Colleagues think I'm overboard in this. Those colleagues have sons, not daughters, so it's still if it doesn't affect me personally, it's not important.

Fuck this place.

You're not overboard. I've spent a lot of my life in Texas. I never thought it would get worse than it was 10 years ago but here we are.

Can you guys imagine what Molly Ivins would be saying about Texas today?

I'm not a Texan, but I was a big fan of her writings about Texas. And everything else.
