As Texas Republicans join Georgia Republicans in attempting to make Republicans win again (MRWA doesn’t roll off the tongue like MAGA, but whatever) by passing laws that place arbitrary roadblocks between voters and ballot boxes, one name comes to mind: Crystal Mason.

Another day, another instance of police officers displaying their inability to view Black children as children.
