Big chunks of Texas were under heat warnings this past week — with heat indexes hitting 115°F. Reminder that Texas Gov. Abbott signed legislation that prohibits cities from mandating employers to provide workers with rest and water breaks. This is the GOP's vision for America.

This is the top argument for sending Abbott and his cronies to the chaingang. They can show off their heat-defying superpowers from there.

Great to be able to dictate from the ivory tower with air conditioning. The only answer to these fuckers is a guillotine.

How the GOP rates as anything more than a death cult is beyond me.

Turn off the water at the TX state capital and see how they like going thirsty. Of course, remove all water from the shops too.

Just like they killed off meat packing employees during COVID, many of whom were immigrants--and thus, expendable, I suppose? Reminds me of George Orwell's excellent essay, "Marrakech." Discussion of a line from it here:

The Texas GOP mantra: To keep you is no benefit, to destroy you is no loss.

They don't have a vision for America. They want to destroy it and create a theocratic slave state in which they can control every aspect of slavery with killing people. That's what it is under the covers.

My dream of heaven is Greg Abbott duct-taped in his wheelchair, and all tangled up in the razor wire he strung in the Rio Grande - as the water level rises.

Who keeps showing up to vote for these assholes? Honestly, if you work in the heat and you voted for Greg Abbott, there’s probably nothing we can do for you.
