I'm so sick of this crooked DA spending state resources on his Sharia law bullshit. It's a fucking nightmare having children in Texas with TFG bulldozing his way into our personal lives and breathing down our backs threatening to deny critical medical care even for the most extreme circumstances while he engages in endless acts of political corruption without any penalty whatsoever.

A friend of mine found out a few weeks ago that she's pregnant. I forget the name of the condition, but she has a medical issue that's caused her to have two miscarriages in the past, so there's a significant possibility that her current pregnancy may turn out the same and she may need life-saving care if things progress poorly. She and her husband have already begun taking steps to move out of this hellhole state. His job was able to relocate him without issue, but she's going to have to quit hers.
They want to start a family. But Paxton, Cruz, Abbott, and their ilk would rather she die slowly and painfully.
What if, just WHAT IF, a liberal state starting suing conservative states for shootings that occur with guns bought in their states?
That would require the Democrats to have a political backbone.
It's cute how they say they care about state's rights until a state does something they don't like.
As a Texan who currently lives in Texas, I would not mind if a thermonuclear weapon wiped us off the map. I would take one the betterment of humanity.
I believe we should streamline our legal system to prioritize federal laws only. The principle behind E pluribus unum — "out of many, one" — reflects the idea of a unified nation. If something isn’t explicitly regulated by federal law, then it should be automatically legal. This would simplify the legal landscape and eliminate the confusing patchwork of state laws. Each state has its own set of rules, which can vary drastically and create a lot of unnecessary complexity, especially for businesses and individuals who cross state lines. A single, cohesive federal standard would reduce confusion, promote fairness, and strengthen our unity as a country. Let the federal government set the laws, and if they haven’t acted on an issue, then it should be free for all to engage in without restriction. After all, in a nation built on E pluribus unum, we should be able to count on one set of laws for the entire country.
Tell Texas to get fucked. They can't even keep their power grid stable without Daddy Fed's constant influx of cash.
They're a grifter state, governed by the GOP for 28 years. No more handouts for grifter states.
As a non-American living in a country that places lawmaking solely in the hands of the federal government, I think it is in the best interest of Americans that the making and enforcement of certain laws are left up to the state. I mean think about it. It would be much easier for Trump to veto pro-abortion laws if they were set at the federal level than at state levels. Also, it is easier to lobby at the state level than at the federal level.
In general, decentralisation of power is always best.
