Perched among mist-covered leaves at the Fort Worth Zoo, the jagged black silhouette of a raven is a ghostly shadow in the morning light. He is quiet, watching.

On Tue., June 3, Tarrant County commissioners will vote on a new redistricting map, one that could disenfranchise thousands of current and future Black and Latino voters locally and consolidate Republican power.

To kick off the holiday season, Greg Abbott gave all Texans a crappy gift that, unfortunately, we can’t return.
