1. This state is gearing up for something bad

This is not good

2. Honestly. If I had transgender family member(s) I would be doing all possible to get them out of this country...

And to tell the truth, I'd dearly like to be right behind them.

Overreaction? I don't think so.

4. That reminds me of someone I used to know about 30 years ago.

His name was Sam, so his drag name was Samantha. I'm not sure what pronouns to use for him. Not sure if he thought of himself as transgender or if he was simply a drag queen. But anyway, he had a Texas driver's license that had his drag name on it and a picture of him in drag. We all thought it was hilarious, but now I'm concerned. Looks like it's starting. God help us.

5. This is sooo very, very messed up.

6. The categories are being drawn up... and each of us is being sorted into one or more

of them. The enormous database of private information is being created out of voter registration records and driver's license information. Pretty soon, they'll know when you take a bathroom break.

All of this is to make it that much easier to kick certain people out of the country, or land them into some sort of a camp. Or line them up for death squads. At this point, I don't think the last part of that sentence is hyperbole any longer.

This is so totally scary. Add in the emphasis he's put lately on their version of christianity and the "laws" against dissing it, and on top of this news they'll eventually be able to sort each and everyone of us into some sort of slanted category.

7. Texas tax dollars at work creating a hostile surveillance society.
