    “They give potential illegal immigrants thinking of leaving their home country — and those already on the way — a realistic picture of what will happen to them on their journey or if they illegally cross into Texas,” Abbott said.

    A lot of them are leaving their home country, you absolute waste of oxygen, because they were going to die there if they didn’t.

    a government official advertising rape to the less fortunate? these people saying such ludicrous things need to be put on a noose.

    I think the signs are referring to the “coyotes” who guide Mexican immigrants across the border for a fee. Often they sexually assault their clients, estimated by nonprofits to be about 60%.

    It doesn’t make a lot of sense for Texas to place the signs, though, but it’s provacative and theatrical which the GOP loves.

    If we can’t get our shit together enough to take the country back from these racist, unempathetic bigots, we really do deserve whatever comes next.

        Because we now have more than adequate evidence that just voting on our own isn’t enough. We need to be putting our energy into local organizing and canvassing (believe me, I have no idea how I’m going to make room for that in my life either), and doing everything we can to get everyone we know who ISN’T a racist, unempathetic bigot to vote.

        DID NOT VOTE was the actual winner of both the 2016 and 2024 elections.

    Holy shit, I didn’t expect them to have literally said that shit. I expect nothing of republicans or Texas, but I’m still baffled.

    For those who want to see them…
