Texas is dying. The Oligarchs, purging human mouths to feed. Measles and sepsis. Sepsis death from an already expired fetus. Republicans are so incredibly dumb. Dumb kills.

But Texans keep voting for Republican zealots, and Texan women keep staying in Texas.

This is what the Department of Justice SHOULD be prosecuting. Arrest these legislator/politicians/murderers, drag them into Federal court, prosecute them, then lock them up for a very long time. THIS would be justice in every sense of the word....

ALL of conservatism is based on an interlocking set of lies - prime among them that humans are here to extract every possible thing from this earth with no reciprocal obligation to repair what we damage in providing for our own needs - that we can thoughtlessly extinct species without number, heedlessly pollute our own soil, air and water, that it is conscionable that a tiny minority can enjoy incalculable wealth while uncounted millions desperately cling to a life that can't be sustained in the long run. Political conservatism in the form of the GOP - is a full-on, straight up death cult - its core dogma being that what is demonstrably killing the planet and humans without number is what God Almighty intended as the way we should live. They tirelessly toil in the halls of government to ensure that polluters are not held liable, that fraudsters are not held accountable, that the corrupt are protected, that those who profit most by our way of life contribute least to its maintenance - even providing the means and cover whereby billionaires can literally steal food and care from our nation's poorest children.

This is, of course, utter MADNESS - a perversion of the life force itself - and in is utterly unsustainable - its inevitable collapse now playing out before our eyes in real time.The collapse may well be so complete that the human race becomes extinct - the death cult fulfilling itself.

Men ALWAYS seek to control what they fear - and men in the grip of social, political and religious conservatism fear women most of all - they are terrified by women's sexuality and reproductive magic and the power it has over them - and so they commit themselves to controlling it. The more conservative the men - the more repressive and authoritarian their regimes become - inevitably they declare they are enforcing God's will - the same God they believe has given them obligation-free dominion over the planet and everything in or on it - and license to destroy it before they rise to eternal life in paradise as their reward.

This is what's playing out in Texas now as relates to abortion - which is just one of the blacker facets of the death cult - killing women as they claim to value "innocent life" above all things. Which of these women they sentenced to death weren't "innocent' - they who found themselves at the crossroads of biology and perverted "values" - and controlled by terrified and pitiless men?

Anti-abortionists are essentially saying that women, specifically, should always be forced to provide life support to anything (fetus) or anyone. No one can be forced to keep ANYONE else alive.

What about a Class Action Lawsuit against the State of Texas.

How’s about charging the Drs with criminal negligence causing death. Maybe charge Paxton and the other pedophiles as accessories
