What a drag that Texas is what Texas has become.

And now the moment is all that it meantTexas, you got the weight on your shoulders
That's breaking your back

ABBOTT AIMS TO PARDON RACIST MURDERER WHO SENT EXPLICIT TEXTS TO APPARENT MINOR
The governor didn't even wait a single day before calling for the potential pardon of racist murderer Daniel Perry.
After an Austin jury unanimously convicted Sergeant Daniel Perry of murder, it took Governor Greg Abbott less than one full day to call for his pardon.
Legal experts and lawmakers have described it as an unprecedented move that has injected politics into the parole and pardon system.
https://www.texasobserver.org/daniel-perry-pardon-greg-abbott-garrett-foster/“I can’t imagine that there’s ever been a time when they’ve considered a pardon for someone who hasn’t even been sentenced yet,” Allison Mathis, a longtime public defender in Texas, told the Texas Observer.

Texas Senate passes bill to allow secretary of state to overturn Harris County elections
The bill targets the state's largest county, which has become more Democratic in recent years, over problems that arose during last year's election.The Texas Legislature is advancing a bill that would allow the secretary of state to redo elections in Harris County, where a number of Democratic candidates posted strong midterm election results and which has been dogged by GOP claims of election mismanagement.
The Republican-controlled Senate passed the bill Tuesday and sent it to the state House. If it is enacted, it would allow the secretary of state to toss out election results in the state's largest county and call a new vote if there is "good cause" to believe that at least 2% of polling places ran out of usable ballots during voting hours.
The bill would apply only to counties with populations greater than 2.7 million, effectively singling out Harris County, which is home to Houston and has by far the largest population in the state, at nearly 5 million. In recent decades, Harris County has become more Democratic.

Hey, but who gives a fuck, right?New data shows how little the electorate looks like the population
The 2022 midterm elections did not go the way the Republican Party expected. Historical patterns suggested that the party would accrue a hefty majority in the House and regain control of the Senate. Those things didn’t happen for a variety of reasons.
But the party can take solace in one thing: The results would probably have been quite a bit worse if the electorate actually looked like the U.S. population.
The Washington Post’s Scott Clement and Lenny Bronner this week looked at new data from the Census Bureau tracking voter participation in the midterms. After adjusting the data to match state-level turnout, they discovered that turnout rates among Black voters declined heavily since the 2018 election.
Turnout rates have an obvious relationship to the composition of the electorate, of course. If White and Black Americans turned out at the same rate, there would still be far more White voters, given the composition of the population. But if White turnout is substantially higher than Black turnout, as it was last year, the gap in representation at the polls is wider still.
In fact, if we compare the composition of the electorate with the composition of the population, that gap is obvious. Looking at the figures on race and age calculated by Clement and Bronner and comparing them to Census Bureau population data, we see that the electorate was much whiter and much older than the population overall.
About 74 percent of the electorate was White, compared with 59 percent of the population. About 41 percent of the electorate was 60 or older, compared with 30 percent of the adult population.
The biggest racial gulf was among Hispanics. About 19 percent of the population is Hispanic, but less than 10 percent of the electorate was. Citizenship plays a role here; Hispanics make up about 16 percent of the population of U.S. citizens.
There’s still a wide gap, in other words — in part because “older” and “whiter” overlap. Younger Americans, a lower-turnout group, are more likely to be non-White, also a lower-turnout group. There are a lot of reasons for both of those tendencies, including that voting is easier for those who own homes or work steady hours and that there are structural roadblocks that inhibit many demographic groups from voting.
The disparity in 2022 wasn’t unique. Whites have been overrepresented in the electorate since they were the only ones allowed to vote. Tracking the trend in representation since 1986, though, we see an interesting pattern: Whites have gotten slightly more overrepresented and Hispanics have gotten more underrepresented.
You can see that below. Each line tracks the percentage of the population and percentage of the electorate each racial group constituted in a federal election year since 1986. The White population percentage has declined, as has the percent of the electorate it makes up. (The 2022 percentages are indicated with a dot.) But that dark-purple line is moving slightly away from the dashed diagonal line over time, as the overrepresentation increases.
In 1985, Whites were overrepresented in the electorate by about eight percentage points. In 2022, it was about 15 points.
That’s in part because Hispanic representation is moving away from the diagonal in the other direction. Hispanics are now underrepresented by twice the margin they were in 1986.
Black Americans are underrepresented relative to the population, but there have been recent exceptions. Since 2008, Blacks have made up about as much of the electorate as they do the population, dipping down again in 2022.
Again, this overlaps with age. The patterns of representation in the population look different largely because of the baby boom, with the population ages 45 to 69 surging and receding in the 1986-to-2023 period. (Each age group is broken out separately in graphs at the bottom, below.) But the gap in representation has been consistent, with older Americans being overrepresented and younger Americans underrepresented.
(That’s only the adult population, mind you. For obvious reasons, those younger than 18 aren’t represented in the electorate at all.)
It’s hard to say precisely how this affects election results, but we can estimate it using exit polls. If we use the turnout data by race (specifically White vs. non-White), we see that Republican House candidates had more votes by a three point margin nationally. If the electorate matched the population, though, those exit polls suggest that Democratic candidates would have had more votes by a five point margin — an eight point swing.
That’s a very rough calculation, comparing White and non-White. If we also do a rough calculation based on age, we go from a three point Republican margin to a less than one point Democratic one, a four point shift to the left. (The exit polls split the 45-and-older population at 65 instead of 60, but partisan support between those groups wasn’t much different.)
As I was writing a book looking at long-term trends in age and race, I interviewed David Faris, an author and professor at Roosevelt University in Chicago.
“The Republican Party’s competitiveness this century has really been propped up by differential turnout rates between younger and older voters,” he said when we spoke in 2021.
Particularly when considering how age and race correlate, 2022 very much bolstered his thesis.

LOL.
The fact that you believe PJ is playing four concerts in Texas to "reward the fascists" is hilarious, yet sad, at the same time.
I almost feel sorry for you , delusional with this crazy idea, that Pearl Jam fans "that can drive to the show" don't want to discuss politics with you and are also rewarding the fascists and must be called out by you.
They don't want to discuss politics with you because it doesn't consume their lives, politics doesn't make up 95% of their posts on an online forum for a fan club of a band they happen to like, and they sure as fuck don't want to get accused of being called a fascist (or a racist, ot a homophobe, or a transphobe, islamaphobe, or whatever other "phobe" your ultra progressive woke mind can come up with and use as a weapon in the hopes of silencing any opposing opinions and close the door on any discussion), they just want to go see a concert is all.
If you were a true fan of this band, you would be happy for them as the other 99.5% of the members of this forum are. But you make several posts about this in different threads, then decided it deserves it's very own thread and then cry about it being moved to it's proper place on the forum because you know 90% of the member won't see it. You wear your social justice warrior badge well and want everyone to know it, don't you lol ?
Pearl Jam has always been a left leaning band. I am a registered Democrat and my beliefs also lean to the left. Do I agree with every stance Pearl Jam has ever taken? For the most part, yes, but not always. And guess what ? Opinions change all the time. Maybe PJ is playing Texas to change some minds, or maybe, just maybe, while the hope of changing peoples mind is still their in their heads, they're just playing Texas because that area of the country hasn't had arena shows in a while, and maybe Ed can mention the abortion issues at some shows down there while they're at it.
Win, win, right?
Nah, not for people like you. Scream and yell like fucking babies and assume all kinds of shit about people when you have no idea what is going thru their minds at any given time and make sure to call them at least one of the three hail marys out of the progressive playbook for dummies.
(1) A -----ist. (racist, facist, etc.)
(2) An anti ------ (feminist, semite, etc.)
(3) A -------phobe (transphobe, islamaphobe, etc.)
You have no idea why PJ hasn't played arena shows shows in Texas for quite sometime, yet in your woke delusional mind, you assume this to be because Republicans won some elections n Texas, elected are loud mouth Republican Governor and every resident is now guilty by association and as a result were being punished and cancelled by Pearl Jam. How dare they play shows there now?
Assuming is a motherfucker. And is the dominant trait of a true fascist.
Here's some food for thought while we're at it. Progressives like yourself with your cancel culture and all the other delusional bullshit (like defund the police, not going so well where I live) have hijacked the Democrat Party as your own and I no longer consider myself a Democrat because of people like you. It'll be a cold day in hell that I become a registered Republican. But when it comes down to a choice between a woke progressive Democrat vs. a Republican in any and all future elections that I'm able to take part in, Republican all the way. Just wanted you know that. I aint the only one thinking like these days either, and I say this as a 28 year proud member of the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee in Philadelphia, PA.
And if it's Biden v. Trump again ? Christ I hope not, Biden sold his soul to the progressives and ain't there mentally anymore and Trump, is same as ever asshole Trump and all the bullshit that comes with asshole Trump. But the ultra progressive woke agenda that takes priority over common fucking sense and has hijacked the Democrat Party will force me to vote for Trump. Hell, maybe I'll even move to Texas, seems to be PJ's new home base lol.

For the most part, yes, but not always. And guess what ? Opinions change all the time. Maybe PJ is playing Texas to change some minds, or maybe, just maybe, while the hope of changing peoples mind is still their in their heads, they're just playing Texas because that area of the country hasn't had arena shows in a while, and maybe Ed can mention the abortion issues at some shows down there while they're at it.
Win, win, right?
Nah, not for people like you. Scream and yell like fucking babies and assume all kinds of shit about people when you have no idea what is going thru their minds at any given time and make sure to call them at least one of the three hail marys out of the progressive playbook for dummies.
(1) A -----ist. (racist, facist, etc.)
(2) An anti ------ (feminist, semite, etc.)
(3) A -------phobe (transphobe, islamaphobe, etc.)
You have no idea why PJ hasn't played arena shows shows in Texas for quite sometime, yet in your woke delusional mind, you assume this to be because Republicans won some elections n Texas, elected are loud mouth Republican Governor and every resident is now guilty by association and as a result were being punished and cancelled by Pearl Jam. How dare they play shows there now?
Assuming is a motherfucker. And is the dominant trait of a true fascist.
Here's some food for thought while we're at it. Progressives like yourself with your cancel culture and all the other delusional bullshit (like defund the police, not going so well where I live) have hijacked the Democrat Party as your own and I no longer consider myself a Democrat because of people like you. It'll be a cold day in hell that I become a registered Republican. But when it comes down to a choice between a woke progressive Democrat vs. a Republican in any and all future elections that I'm able to take part in, Republican all the way. Just wanted you know that. I aint the only one thinking like these days either, and I say this as a 28 year proud member of the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee in Philadelphia, PA.
And if it's Biden v. Trump again ? Christ I hope not, Biden sold his soul to the progressives and ain't there mentally anymore and Trump, is same as ever asshole Trump and all the bullshit that comes with asshole Trump. But the ultra progressive woke agenda that takes priority over common fucking sense and has hijacked the Democrat Party will force me to vote for Trump. Hell, maybe I'll even move to Texas, seems to be PJ's new home base lol.First off, Hoagie, nothing I'm going to say here is or isn't in defense of ikiT.
Bold words here are yours:They don't want to discuss politics with you because it doesn't consume their lives, politics doesn't make up 95% of their posts on an online forum for a fan club of a band they happen to like,Actaully, 95% of the post on this section of the PJ forums (AMT) are related to discussing politics. I'm guessing you are not familiar with the A Moving Train section you are posting in. You also don't sound like someone who is very aware of the political stances Pearl Jam and the majority of their fans do take. You might find a Ted Nugent site more to your liking. I mean, I don't know? Just a suggestion.People like you are the true fascists.
I almost feel sorry for you , delusional with this crazy idea...
people like you. Scream and yell like fucking babies...
...your woke delusional mind...
Progressives like yourself with your cancel culture and all the other delusional bullshit...Well, holy crap man, first of all, I hope you don't have a coronary here. Maybe check out the AMT Lounge Car. It's a great place to relax and bring down the blood pressure a bit. I'm kind of rusty on CPR, but I'll buy the first round if that helps.
Secondly- and this is not a shaming thing or an attack on you, nor, again, is it a defense of another member here- but, look man, that kind of personal-attach nonsense will get you booted out of here in no time. Do yourself a favor and read the forum guidelines.

Eh, fuck Ted Nugent lol.brianlux said:Hoagie Breath said:

This is a thread for the tour. I’m seeing 4 shows I can drive to so I’m happy and done discussing politics. Have a good day."
Simple question...what's the thinking behind the FOUR dates in Greg Abbott's TEXAS on this minitour (AKA Florida's cousin)?
I'm old enough to remember when social issues mattered to the band more than social media.
PJ should never reward fascists.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrFOb_f7ubwhttps://youtu.be/9fR2r8Qlyyk
Ya better than this.
LOL.
The fact that you believe PJ is playing four concerts in Texas to "reward the fascists" is hilarious, yet sad, at the same time.
I almost feel sorry for you , delusional with this crazy idea, that Pearl Jam fans "that can drive to the show" don't want to discuss politics with you and are also rewarding the fascists and must be called out by you.
They don't want to discuss politics with you because it doesn't consume their lives, politics doesn't make up 95% of their posts on an online forum for a fan club of a band they happen to like, and they sure as fuck don't want to get accused of being called a fascist (or a racist, ot a homophobe, or a transphobe, islamaphobe, or whatever other "phobe" your ultra progressive woke mind can come up with and use as a weapon in the hopes of silencing any opposing opinions and close the door on any discussion), they just want to go see a concert is all.
If you were a true fan of this band, you would be happy for them as the other 99.5% of the members of this forum are. But you make several posts about this in different threads, then decided it deserves it's very own thread and then cry about it being moved to it's proper place on the forum because you know 90% of the member won't see it. You wear your social justice warrior badge well and want everyone to know it, don't you lol ?

I know what part of the forum I'm on, I just never post in here. And yes I know Pearl Jams politics, I just dont think they were ever punishing Texas by not playing there is all, and if you read my post you'd know what my politics are. I consider my self a liberal, always have, just not far left progressive. And if you can't tell, I kind of have of beef with them these days lol.'92 Philly 04.10
