There is no “bridge too far” for TX Republicans. Of course they would do this. Any legislature that would propose “bleeding stations” that would require 3rd graders to provide triage to fellow students and their teachers in the event of a school shooting RATHER THAN PASS REASONABLE GUN CONTROL MEASURES has no moral compass, no compassion, not a whit of humanity in their DNA. They are hideous monsters and should be regarded as such. https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB1147/id/2243361

I wrote this when the SCOTUS gutted the Civil Rights Act

CIVIL RIGHTS 2013

Old Jim Crow has clambered out of the mire

Because times are changing as we all know,

He’s dressed up to become James Crowe, esquire,

Who openly tells unwashed masses, “No!”

Many suffered and died changing the South,

Trees hanging with strange fruit grow only ghosts

That send insidious seeds rooting in the mouth

Of liars shouting loud false freedom boasts.

Eager to win back their waning power

The wealthy elite blandly smile and nod.

They assure us everything is fine

As they destroy rights this dark hour.

People must wake up to this danger’s prod,

And rise up to conque despair's false line.

Love, Eliz
