ok, so youre telling me that the GOP in Texas is passing a law to help black and latino people and that the system wont disproportionately find black and latino people guilty in adoption court cases?
i was in cps custody for a small period of time due to malnutrition many years back, though that wasnt my parents fault. gender dysphoria is whack. definitely not rich though our family is very good at pooling resources communally
so youre saying the GOP is listening to leftist organizers on this issue?
I think it's more that there's a confluence of interests between the GOP trying to destroy all state records and single issue activists trying to correct a broken system. they'll only get so much traction with the GOP but we'd be fools to not to use their obsessive focus to yield some positive change, even if it's limited in its application. the liberal drives towards means-testing and illegalizing poverty find themselves squarely in the reactionary crosshairs from time to time, mostly accidentally.
More like the GOP is trying to burn down the entire state, and organizers are trying to redirect some energy towards the parts that actually deserve to be burned down. Kind of like using a snake to get rid of a rat problem. Sure, it doesn't really solve a lot in the long term, but it allows for a brief moment of reprieve in the short term. And in the long term, you will need to do an insane amount of work anyway, so this isn't really detracting from it.

this is absolutely going to be used to benefit the dudes that adopt 40 kids to use as farm labor, not to benefit black people

I respect and appreciate your point, though I very much doubt this is the Texas GOP's motivation, so they'd be helping accidentally.
