coming after abbott's no-mask mandate, when Thompson has a medically-vulnerable son, mum decides enough is enough:
“Honestly, I just didn’t give a shit anymore,” Thompson told the Tribune about the time she spent hours, alone, holding a sign in front of the state Capitol reading: “Mothers Against Greg Abbott.”
“I was just done. I was so done,” Thompson said.
Thompson is a former Republican. But she wants her MAGA to be “a mix of Democrats, moderate Republicans and independents who are ready to work together for change for Texas,” she told the Tribune.
“We’re just trying to organize the army and make it super accessible to everyday Texans like me, who may not be super involved in politics — until you’re super involved in politics,” Thompson explained.

“There’s only one person who can make this choice,” the doctor tells the woman — then he calls Gov. Abbott.
After he hangs up, he tells the couple: “Yeah, that’s gonna be a no. Best of luck to you!”
