The other day, my 13-year-old told me they had no plans to go to college in Texas or live here when they were done with their education. “I have fewer rights now than when I was born, and I’ll have fewer still when I’m older,” they said. I couldn’t argue...

Far-right legislative extremism in Texas is leading to a cataclysmic brain drain that is eventually going to cripple the growth of the Lone Star State. It’s already happening, and it’s all a direct result of the conservative war on reality. No one wants to go to jail or lose their license because they chose to save a pregnant person’s life. Not when some hopped-up radical right-wing culture warrior can score points by harassing them or convicting them. The danger is too great.. That means less pre-natal; care, cancer screenings, pap smears, and more, and of course the pain will be felt hardest in rural and underserved communities who can’t offer higher wages.
Maybe this is the goal. Maybe hard-right Republicans think that if they just make the whole state stink enough it will cause all their political opponents leave, and that those who will remain will be perfectly competent to keep the machinery of civilization running.It’s incompetents driving away the capable for ridiculous, ideological reasons.
