The only way to make changes is to vote them out of the office. Just like <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Allred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Allred</span></a> who is trying to unseat <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Cruz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cruz</span></a>. So vote for <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Allred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Allred</span></a> if you want changes in Texas.</p>

Chuck Darwin<p>Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s massive grift was embarrassingly revealed during his debate against Representative <a href="https://c.im/tags/Colin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Colin</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Allred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Allred</span></a> Tuesday night. </p><p>Cruz has been seriously struggling in his Senate race against Allred, and on Tuesday, it seemed that Allred dealt several critical blows to the Texas Republican. </p><p>In his closing remarks, Allred didn’t hold back. <br>“We’re all Americans, and we’re all Texans. We need a leader who will bring us together around our shared values. That’s what I’m trying to do during my six years in Congress. <br>💥That’s the exact opposite of what Senator Cruz has done,” Allred said. </p><p>“Whatever he says tonight, you’ve seen it for 12 years. He’s been one of the most <a href="https://c.im/tags/divisive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>divisive</span></a> senators in the entire country. If you don’t like how things are going in Washington right now, well, you know what, 💥he is singularly responsible for it. </p><p>“He has introduced this new kind of ‘<a href="https://c.im/tags/angertaiment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>angertaiment</span></a>’ where you just get people upset and then you podcast about it, and you write a book about it, and you make some money on it, <br>but you’re not actually there when people need you. <br>Like when the lights went out, when 30 million Texans were relying on a senator to spring into action, <br>he went to Cancun. <br>That’s who he is,” Allred said.</p><p><a href="https://newrepublic.com/post/187198/ted-cruz-colin-allred-scam-debate" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">newrepublic.com/post/187198/te</span><span class="invisible">d-cruz-colin-allred-scam-debate</span></a></p>

MugsysRapSheet 🔩🐑🐘<p>🧵 (2/2) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Cruz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cruz</span></a> was clearly uncomfortable when it came to the question of prosecuting Jan6 Insurrectionists. He clearly did not wish to offend T**** or his army of angry supporters whom still believe the 2020 election was "stolen" despite MULTIPLE recounts in EVERY swing state (conducted by organizations hired by the Trump campaign themselves) failing to produce ANY evidence of massive fraud (while IGNORING Trump's "Fake Electors" scheme that attempted to disenfranchise ENTIRE STATES.) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Allred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Allred</span></a></p>
MugsysRapSheet 🔩🐑🐘<p>🧵 (1/2) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Cruz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cruz</span></a> played to his base and I doubt changed many minds. He flat out lied about "two transgender men competing in women's boxing at the Paris Olympics". One of the women, Imane Khelif of Algeria, was "accused" of being transgender by a Right Wing blogger w/o proof because she looked "manish". It is both wildly offensive and insulting that Cruz would perpetuate this debunked lie, preying on the ignorance of his voters while demonizing trans KIDS, just to score political points. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Allred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Allred</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>In Texas and across the country, <br>far-right candidates have won control of school boards, <br>swiftly banning books, halting diversity efforts and altering curricula that do not align with their beliefs. </p><p>O’Hare’s election in Tarrant County, however, takes the battle from the schoolhouse to county government, <br>offering a rare look at what happens when hard-liners win the majority and exert their influence over municipal affairs in a closely divided county. </p><p>Since he was elected county judge <br>— a position similar to that of mayor in a city <br>— O’Hare has pushed his agenda with an uncompromising approach. <br>He has led efforts to cut funding to nonprofits that work with at-risk children, citing their views on racial inequality and LGBTQ+ rights. <br>And he has pushed election law changes that local Republican leaders said would favor them. <br> <br>O’Hare’s rise in Tarrant County has come as he and his allies continue to align with once-fringe figures while targeting private citizens with whom they disagree politically. <br>In July, O’Hare had a local pastor removed from a public meeting for speaking eight seconds over his allotted time. <br>Days later, O’Hare appeared onstage at a conference that urged attendees to resist a Democratic campaign to “rid the earth of the white race” and embrace <a href="https://c.im/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Christian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nationalism</span></a>. <br>The agenda prompted some right-wing Republicans to condemn or pull out of the event.</p><p>“We’re seeing a shift of what conservatism looks like, <br>and at the lower levels, they’re testing how extreme it can get,” <br>said Robert Futrell, a sociologist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas who studies political extremism. <br>“The goal is to capture local Republican Party infrastructure and positions and own the party, turning it to more extremist goals.”</p><p>Frequently, those aims include pushing back against broader LGBTQ+ acceptance, downplaying the nation’s history of racism and the lingering disparities caused by it, stemming immigration, and falsely claiming that America was founded as a Christian nation and that its laws and institutions should thus reflect conservative evangelical beliefs.</p><p>With 2.2 million people, Tarrant County is Texas’ most significant remaining battleground for Democrats and Republicans. <br>When the county voted for Beto O’Rourke for U.S. Senate in 2018 and Joe Biden for president in 2020, <br>many political observers suspected the end was nigh for the era of Republican dominance in the purple county.</p><p>Two years later, voters elected the most hard-line Tarrant County leader in decades. <br>After two years under O’Hare’s leadership, voters in November will decide two races between Republican allies of O’Hare and their Democratic opponents. <br>The election of both Democrats would put O’Hare into the minority. </p><p>The changes in county leadership have been dramatic, said O’Hare’s Republican predecessor, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Glen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Glen</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Whitley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Whitley</span></a>, who served as Tarrant County judge from 2007 until retiring in 2022. <br>Whitley said O’Hare has implanted an “us vs. them” ideology that has increasingly been mainstreamed on the right. <br>“They no longer feel like they have to compromise,” said Whitley, who recently endorsed Democratic Vice President <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kamala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kamala</span></a> Harris for president and U.S. Rep. Colin <a href="https://c.im/tags/Allred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Allred</span></a> of Texas in the U.S. Senate race.<br> “You either vote with these people 100% of the time, or you’re their enemy.”</p><p><a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/tarrant-county-judge-tim-ohare-far-right" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">propublica.org/article/tarrant</span><span class="invisible">-county-judge-tim-ohare-far-right</span></a></p>
