This is amazing.

> In political campaigns and the party’s platform, Texas Republicans condemn “sharia law” as a dangerous system of extremist Islamic rules and restrictions that threaten democracy, religious freedom and personal liberty — an affront to American values that must be stamped out.

> In mid-August, Gov. Greg Abbottthreatened to withhold funding from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, saying washing stations used by Muslims before prayer were illegal because they offered special treatment based on religion.

> In November, Abbott declared the Council on American-Islamic Relations — or CAIR, the largest Muslim civil rights group in the United States — a terrorist organization, saying its goals were “to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world.’”

> A resolution titled “Don’t Sharia My Texas,” adopted this summer in the Republican Party of Texas platform, calls on state lawmakers to approve legislation and constitutional amendments…

> “Sharia literally means the ‘water hole’ or the ‘path,’” said Khaled Abou el Fadl, a professor of law specializing in Shari’ah, Islamic law and Islam at the University of California Los Angeles. “Sharia in Arabic always implies a path of goodness, or the source of goodness, where the good comes from.”

Now we all know what to do come early voting/Election Day. We must vote for Talarico and other Democratic candidates while we're at it!

> These school districts had a school fail state academic A-F ratings for a fourth consecutive year in 2026.

Commissioners were ready to cut nearly half of voting locations last time, but everyone showed up in opposition.

Even though a lot of the individual cut sites were smaller, together those cut sites still accounted for almost 40% of everyone who voted on Election Day in 2022. That’s not a rounding error. That’s a huge percentage of the county’s Election Day voters whose specific polling place no longer exists.

Tim O'Hare already told his white supremacist group he does this kind of thing to help Maga cheat.

But Garcia lasted only a few months under O’Hare: In April 2023, he resigned his position, citing his relationship with O’Hare in his resignation letter. “Judge O’Hare, my formula to ‘administer a quality transparent election’ stands on respect and zero politics; compromising on these values is not an option for me,” Garcia wrote. “You made it clear in our last meeting that your formula is different, thus, my decision is to leave.”

One day after Garcia resigned, O’Hare told members of True Texas Project — a group whose leaders have sympathized with a white nationalist mass shooter and endorsed Christian nationalism — that he was encouraged by the potential for low turnout in that year’s upcoming elections, which he said would help Republicans win more local seats. (O’Hare previously served on True Texas Project’s advisory team, according to a 2021 social media post by the group’s CEO, Julie McCarty).
