After 5 days, average daily turnout in Travis Co is 5%. If this keeps up we’ll have 60% turnout just from early and mail-in voting before election day.

I voted early last week, and when I walked in, someone exclaimed “a human!!”

Yeah, turnout is very low for this off-cycle sneak election that can really hurt school funding, roads, etc.

So here’s your chance to have an outsized impact, merely by showing up. Use the guide below to know who to vote for.

Early voting ends Tuesday April 30. Election is Saturday May 4

(Edited with correct early voting dates)

Very good news from Austin (thank goodness that that Travis County prosecutor understands the First Amendment).

Personally, I hope those arrested will sue the University of Texas and Texas DPS for damages for false arrest.

The Satanic Temple is very bad at court cases (December 2023)

Changes from November include:

* Confirmation both #TravisCounty, #Texas, lawsuits have not seen any new filings in more than one year.

* #NinthCircuit granted #TST partial victory in form of an additional opportunity to make defamation claims in federal district court against Johnson et al Defendants.

https://queersatanic.com/ninth-circuit-gives-satanic-temples-slapp-suit-mixed-response/

Moreover, we’re still being sued by #TheSatanicTemple in federal appellate court and now #KingCounty Superior Court.

TST is also still suing #Newsweek and its reporter (but maybe not her anymore!) for writing about us. In addition, the #SatanicTemple is now suing a #TikToker in Texas for talking about our case. Check the pinned post for more.

A suspect is in custody after a string of homicides and #shootings across two Central #Texas communities left six people dead and three people injured, including two police officers, authorities said during news conferences in #Austin and the #SanAntonio area.

The suspect has been charged in #TravisCounty with multiple counts of capital murder and is expected to remain in custody pending a trial, the Travis County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday in a statement.
