This week on Moms Against the Machine, we connect the dots between a White House bent on control and a Texas government following suit. From Trump’s weaponized TikTok—used to intimidate protesters and bury scandals—to ICE’s secretive detention empire stretching from Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” to Fort Bliss’s new mega-facility, the message is clear: silence dissent, erase rights, and call it “order.” Add in armed National Guard patrols in D.C., a looming federal ban on mail voting, and Trump cozying up to Putin while his DOJ shields Epstein’s network, and you’ve got a blueprint for authoritarianism masquerading as governance.
Meanwhile, Texas is perfecting that playbook. Gerrymandered maps, detained legislators, over 100 polling sites erased in Tarrant County, and a public education system gutted for donor profit show how far state leaders will go to lock in power. Flood victims are ignored, vouchers drain classrooms, and Abbott’s billionaire backers cash out while Texans pay the price. This isn’t isolated chaos—it’s coordinated control. And we’re here to call it what it is, expose the players, and demand better.
