I guess if my life hung in the balance and at the whim of people like Ken Paxton, I’d leave too. Too bad that Texans and doctors didn’t show up for her.
The problem I can imagine is that anyone that shows support for her will also be vilified by the state and face harassment and/or legal repercussions, which is exactly the outcome these asshats want for people who stand up to them. I’m sure she has plenty of support, but people have to be willing to face major consequences to stand with her, which is beyond fucked. Fascist assholes.
Used to know people when I was a kid that marched with MLK. The conditions you described applied to them. Yet, everytime a march was called they were on the bus. It was important to them. It’s not important enough for Texans.
I think it’s also easier to track and target people these days, given the proliferation of digital tools and whatnot. Find a person antagonistic of the state government, link them to their vehicle’s license plate, and sheriffs can have a field day.

It really doesn’t matter. At some point you have to stand up for what’s right or sit in the corner forever in fear.
Yeah, like you did when you hopped right on a plane down to Texas to help her out by doing… what, exactly?
You have no idea of what I do or who I am.
Remember: “Don’t mess with Texas.” was an anti-littering campaign. They don’t actually have spines. They are cowards.
