Yeah just confirming I'm happy for this to go toward legal fees etc. Maybe someone can post something to the effect that if you like this post, money would go toward that. Thanks again, Gallant Knight
Agreed. GK, if you're ever in Aptos, I'll gladly buy you an overpriced craft beer or mix you a shitty margarita
I’m spamming anyone asking about it on Twitter hopefully someone big can pick it up. DM’d the democracy docket folks and Marc Elias.
ACLU of Texas commented, Spoiler HOUSTON — The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas and Nicole DeBorde Hochglaube are representing Hervis Rogers, a Houston man facing charges for voting while on parole after waiting more than six hours in line to cast his ballot in March 2020. Rogers was arrested on Wednesday and is now in Montgomery County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail. The following quote can be attributed to Andre Segura, legal director of the ACLU of Texas: “The arrest and prosecution of Mr. Rogers should alarm all Texans. He waited in line for over six hours to vote to fulfill what he believed to be his civic duty, and is now locked up on a bail amount that most people could not afford. He faces potentially decades in jail. Our laws should not intimidate people from voting by increasing the risk of prosecution for, at worst, innocent mistakes. We will continue to fight for justice for Mr. Rogers and will push back against efforts to further restrict voting rights.” https://www.aclutx.org/en/press-releases/aclu-texas-comment-arrest-hervis-rogers
Gallant Knight you should raise the amount sometimes people who would donate will see you hit the target and won’t. Helping him with bail and defense fund would be great
I hope they mention the site and read this on air: TMB is a large, standoffish group of unfriendly men who fear change and sometimes talk sports. Since 2009.
There’s a lot of darkness in this world, but the little specks of light always reignite your hope for a just and better future. Kudos GK for getting this rolling.
Really awesome this got traction, hadn’t heard of this until reading earlier this evening. Great job, Gallant Knight
“The most active threads in ‘TMB’ right now are the thread dedicated to this GoFundMe and a thread that appears to be the ‘Naked Lady’ thread”
The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas and Nicole DeBorde Hochglaube are supposedly representing Hervis Rogers according to the Texas ACLU Don't know jack about either.
