the begining of the second texas revolution

[rdking647]

in 1836 a brave group of texans fought a losing battle against a tyrant at a place called the alamo. in losing they sparked a revolution that freed texas. In 2013 a group of texans fought a different kind of tyranny. they would lose that battle but even in defeat they served as an inspiration that ended the reign of the GOP in texas.

Dear Texas: Thank you so much for making us look sane. Sincerely, Florida. http://ow.ly/1Z90fK #tampongate

Meanwhile, it seems they're confiscating tampons in the US. I think we should send troops to liberate their women. #HB2 #TamponGate

Guns don't kill people. Tampons kill people.

'Night all. There were tons of great #TamponGate jokes but this is serious. GOP degrading #WarOnWomen will reap consequences.

4. Stole, Texas so they could to fight for slavery.

5. Stole Texas, NM, AZ, CA so they could hunt, sell, and own slaves!

You think Geronimo didn't know this shit? Slave hunters crossed the Southwest for centuries hunting Indians for the slave markets in the Missions of Santa Fe and Cali. The War on Mexico restored slavery to half of the former nation stolen by the US.
