@TexasObserver @josephinelee Glad to hear it. ..
@jackhutton @josephinelee fortunately, it seems like the community outnumbers the extremists at every event where community defense is called for
@TexasObserver @josephinelee "The group organizing the anti-drag protest today is Protect Texas Kids, an anti-LGBTQ+ nonprofit with unknown funders. PTK has been one of the primary organizers of anti-LGBTQ+ mobilizations in the state of Texas"
Where is the money coming from -- who's paying for PTK... Who's behind / paying for "Republican state Representative Bryan Slaton"
Dark money is big problem.
@jackhutton @TexasObserver @josephinelee
Agreed, any organisation needs to be transparent regarding funding, this however should start at the top with the governments of countries, as in THEY set the example.
