I could have never imagined how much my life would change after this. But one thing remains true, I’m always going to speak TRUTH to power. Our kids deserve better, our educators deserve better. #TakeBackHISD
Greg Abbott has imitated a hostile takeover of the local school district in Houston, TX — taking control away from the local school board so that it’s now run by the state. Parent and activist Lauren Ashley read the superintendent for FILTH

But shuttering Congress to avoid votes on the Epstein files is…?
Leaving the State of Texas when a 30 day special session is underway is a dereliction of duty. I support all methods of returning these legislators to the State Capitol so state business can continue. #txlege
Look carefully at this photo That casket has the body US Rep @SylvesterTurner who died in March & was being eulogized by Texas House Speaker Burrows 4 months later, Burrows & others in #txlege are being asked to carve up his old congressional district from almost the same spot
Today, we met with governors who haven’t abandoned their people to Trump’s chaos. While Abbott holds flood relief hostage for Trump’s redistricting scam, leaders in other states are exploring every strategy to stop his budget cuts from destroying our communities. Thank you,…

Tonight,I’m hosting a virtual town hall to talk about what’s at stake as Governor Abbott pushes to redraw congressional maps, threatening the voting power of diverse communities across Texas. Join me at 6:30 PM on Zoom as we discuss how we fight back. #JoinUs #TownHall
What kind of politicians only do what the rich and powerful tell them to? That’s what’s happening in Texas right now. It’s weird to watch grown men—including the Governor—act like they have no choice. No one can *make* you do anything. I had a dad, and his name wasn’t Donald.
