"Three weeks after U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner’s death and just over a month before the state’s next uniform election, Gov. Greg Abbott has not yet called a special election to fill the seat representing parts of Houston, a Democratic stronghold, in Congress."

About 773,000 Houstonians will have no representation in Congress for about a year 🤬

"...43% of White citizens who were age eligible to vote in all three elections did so; just 24% did not vote in any of these.

Black, Hispanic and Asian adults lagged far behind, with 27% of Black, 19% of Hispanic and 21% of Asian age-eligible citizens voting in all three elections. Hispanic citizens were most likely to have not voted in any of the most recent three general elections."

This hard-line shift is more than a calculated rebranding aimed at stemming #voter defections to the #farright. The legislation goes beyond the agendas of the #Conservative and Reform parties, exposing #KeirStarmer’s vision to “Make #UK Great Again”.

#us #election and - often #racist - #voter #supression . It's just a question to purge the voters you don't want. How long will we, the people allow them to do this? There won't be a "next election" if there are no mass protests NOW!

#everyone in and outside the #states: act in accordance with reality. Especially #media. There is no “the #american people.”

There is no #united states. There is a #federal #government with a huge #military and control of #data and $ that the rest of us need some access to about #health, population, #voter eligibility and more.

There was no landslide in the #us #election. Qualified eligible #nonvoters were the largest group and determined the outcome of who is #president, for all of us.

Policies that result in the median voter paying more #taxes are difficult. The #democrats need a #policy vision that doesn't raise taxes on the median #voter

Policy ideas

- Tax exemptions/deductions for #WorkerCooperatives and investment in worker #coops
- Special tax exempt status for #WorkerCoops
- Use corporate tax revenue to buy some shares of that company and put those in a trust democratically governed by workers in that company.
