Overall, we rate the Texas Observer Left Biased based on story selection and political positions that mostly favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.
This is a serious over-generalization. Brownsville and the RGV vote reliably Democratic, and abuse of authority situations, involving school districts, criminal justice systems, and the police, et al, absolutely happen all over the country.
Yeah there’s some good people in Texas. That doesn’t change the fact that, for the most part, the entire state is a disgusting shit hole that is one of the biggest embarrassments in America.

There are some shitty parts of Texas for sure, but “for the most part?” You don’t know this state dude. Texas reliably votes like 55% Republican and 45% Democratic, and there are tons of awesome people, beautiful scenery, and multicultural urban centers here. The state is gerrymandered to hell though
No? I don’t know a single woman fleeing. I’ve had 3 trans friends/coworkers who have fled for sure, and I don’t blame them one bit given the political climate here, even though their local communities are extremely supportive of them. But no, not a single woman. Where are you getting your information? Hmmm?
You personally know 3 people who have had to flee the state. That’s JUST PEOPLE YOU KNOW. And you STILL say the state is a good place for the most part.
Well, I’m a cishet white male and I still didn’t like living in Texas. I had to drive like 3-4 hours to get anywhere and back home, its hot, no winter for the most part(and when there was, any plans I had that involved leaving the house had to be canceled), power grid is shit and has way too many rolling blackouts. Internet service was abysmal, hot trash. The MAX speed I could get was like 10Mbps down. And then there’s the political climate… Yea fuck that I’m never moving back.
Bruh I live here. And I as a woman cannot WAIT to get out. It’s not great, and we shouldn’t pretend like it is. And I’m fortunate enough to be stuck in a pretty blue area. I just gotta finish serving my contract and then I’m running for the blue states ASAP.
Bruh, as someone who spent over ten years in Texas and got out, you are lying to yourself. Everyone i know that still lives there wants to get out but can’t for one reason or another.
Sorry, didn’t realize y’all only think in black and white like children. Fuck the most diverse large city in the country, right? And the most Hispanic large city in the country? Fuck those motherfuckers. Shitholes, all of them and every person in them
You seem to be reading things into comments that aren’t there. Texas is a shithole because of the government running the State, not the people suffering through it.
I’m failing to see where anyone is blaming them for the shit their republican government is doing.
You have to go back to Ann Richards and the 90s to find actual bipartisainship in texas man. I miss a lot of the people and the food especially, but fuck that state went bonkers after GWB and only gets more nuts. Fuck they pardoned Ken Paxton.
Was in the RGV right before Trump was elected - and again during the Beto-Cruz fight - the amount of support for conservatives there is MIND BOGGLING. I kept asking ‘how the fuck are so many latinos in the can for Cruz and Trump?’ I do not understand, especially around Harlingen and the other ‘towns’ down there.
Democrats are frequently still racist, obedience-loving sacks of shit, they’re just the lesser of two evils in a system where the greater of two evils is a pack of utterly cynical greed-as-a-virtue actual fascists.
Because it’s Texas. The answer is always because it’s Texas… Well, okay. Sometimes it’s Florida too.
Texas is filled with bullies and pussies, both overlap
Real answer? America.

There is nothing wrong with The Texas Observer.

What about this article do you find to be not credible?

This is straight up Stockholm syndrome my man.
“Everyone needs to stop being mean to Texas! Texas is a great place to live (as long as you’re a cishet white male)!”

dude it’s not just transfolk, tons of women are making the sensible choice not to have to deliver dead babies in parking lots; same for OBGYNs and pediatricians who don’t want to fetter their practice with patient risking dogma.
Not cis but I wish I could escape. My mental state is too fucked though.

Which leads to a republican supermajority and governor and a shithole state.

Actually fuck the US in general. Y’all still have slavery lol.

Just cuz you vote Democrat, doesn’t mean you’re a good person.
Can confirm, I vote Democrat and I’m still an asshole
Did you used to order sloppy steaks?
Either that or the chicken spaghetti at Chickelinni’s
Fucking degenerate probably put ketchup on it.
Everyone knows you put water on sloppy steaks, and I also used to be a piece of shit.
