Governor Greg Abbott is using a tragedy impacting diverse urban people he hates to help Putin/Musk/Trump attack democracy. You see his tweet above. He says there would be needed resources for Los Angeles if only we were not sending money to Ukraine. Governor Abbott could have mentioned any country. He picked Ukraine. Is the problem tax cuts for the rich or corporate subsidies or immense wasteful military spending. Nope. The problem in Abbott's view is the war Putin started Trump wants to end on Putin's terms on Putin's terms and that is part of the aggressive attacks on democracy from Co-President Musk. If Abbott cares so much about Los Angeles, why doesn't he care about Houston? He didn't care if we got state money after Hurricane Harvey. He signed a law allowing the state to easily overrule municipal ordinances. He made certain the state will be able to overturn elections in Harris County. The idea Greg Abbott cares if the people of Los Angeles live or die is laughable. He doesn't care if the people of Texas live or die as we see with the endless Texas Republican refusal to expand Medicaid. If he cared about the well-being of the people of Los Angeles and Houston, Governor Abbott would address climate change which is a big cause of the California wildfires and Hurricane Harvey. The use of people's misery to help take away our freedom and the freedom of people around the world is a core purpose of the Republican Party. These are horrible people doing terrible things. We must be aware of what is taking place and fight back everyday. I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later Egberto's YouTube channel. Here is a fundraising pitch for Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways. Please help the effort.
