Expensive healthcare in Texas

Here is what’s going on: Abbott denied Obamacare which prevented Texas residents from getting subsidies to cover insurance costs, so my health insurance which would only cost 130 a month now costs 900 dollars. Why? Because the insurance companies wanting to be able to charge exorbitant costs contributed millions to Governor ABBOTT’s campaign. Before you message, but so and so did the same thing. Let’s focus on today and what we can do about it now.

Comptroller requests doubling Texas school voucher program to $2 billion

Please don’t let the current administration erode our school systems. Every change is mirroring Florida. I have been an administrator in both Texas and Florida and vouchers are a way to segregate students with disabilities and students from low SES groups from wealthy schools. High SES don’t want students who they deem as problematic to slow their star kids from going to IVY leagues. If you have a child with any disability or if your child is not a wealthy homecoming kid, they will lose everything.

Tarrant County: Matt Krause and Tim O'Hare promoted propaganda claiming public school teachers taught "woke CRT". An attempt to demonize teachers by think tanks representing the effort to privatize education for the voucher scam billionaires. In a few hours both will vote on cutting voting locations

REJECT THE BILLIONAIRES. VOTE IN EVERY LOCAL ELECTION. REJECT THE BILLIONAIRES. VOTE IN EVERY LOCAL ELECTION.

Krause also wanted to ban books like Thumbelina, V is for Vendetta, and restrict books about sexual education from being available in k12.

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.

After massive backlash they're trying to negotiate by cutting 30% of polling locations, even though population and voter registrations are massively higher this election cycle

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (Section 2) is our strongest protection against this, but it has been repeatedly gutted recently by the supreme court. They sided with Abbott to racially gerrymander even after the Texas maps were found to be racial in nature. Section 2 prohibits any voting standard, practice, or procedure that results in the denial or abridgment of the right to vote on account of race or color.

The 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause and the 15th Amendment prohibit states and local governments from intentionally designing voting policies that discriminate based on race.

Texas Law: Mandated Objective Methodology (Section 43.007): Section 43.007(f) requires the county to adopt an official "methodology" for determining where polling places will be located, which appears not to have been followed.

Tim O'Hare is a long time leader in True Texas Project. O'Hare told his white nationalist 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).

When Tim O'hare talks to the media he says it's all non partisan, and gaslights everyone who calls him out on it being partisan. When Tim O'hare talks to his republican circles, he says it's purely partisan, and they can count on him to do anything to help Maga win. To Tim any end justifies the means.
