      1. There is a whole book to write about how Ken Paxton is often right for the wrong reasons, good for bad reasons and bad to good people all at once. While Texas has some great progress for antitrust & privacy, the larger picture is the same power used terribly for other things. kashhill/1583113595092889600

      It would be great if we could get good things from good people instead of from a bad person. Yet arguably the very nature of Paxton's use of power is something the Democrats tend to avoid. The conflicted philosophy here is something that we all sorta see but don't engage in.

    While we can all applaud this specific case. Ken Paxton is clearly Scum. The shit he pulls on the LGBTQ+ community is unacceptable & while we can acknowledge this and other tech cases are good, we HAVE to note every time that Paxton's use of power also comes with real bad shit...

      I really want to resist the possibility that stuff like this is what Paxton might go down in history for when what we really need to remember about him is that he's a power-hungry bigot who should go to jail for crimes against humanity.

        I really wish every report on one of these cases he opens would always include links to the other stuff like: houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/politics/2022/03/10/420854/texas-mom-who-invited-ken-paxton-to-dinner-to-meet-trans-son-now-target-of-state-investigation/

                And that's just the first page of search results. The the way media reports on all political figures as if they have no history doesn't mean they have no history. Paxton is Scum. He may accomplish good things, but it won't undo the fact that he's a bad person.
