Texas Legislative update with ROADwomen and Southwest Dems!

Yes! Way to show how it’s done, Congressman Green!

Houston has lost a giant. Thank you to Congressman Sylvester Turner for nearly 40 years of serving his hometown. His legacy helped shape Houston through his work in the state capitol and as mayor. Our deepest condolences to his family. He will be missed.

We loved having you, @abbiekamin.bsky.social 💙

Welcome back, @katclemons.bsky.social

Some don’t even realize they’re actually eating all the faces.

Proud of our ROADwomen (and the men who love us) who showed up at the Houston protest today! This is what democracy looks like! #WeWontGoBack #resist

The next season of Handmaid’s Tale was just announced. It’s going to be a documentary. (Kidding…but am I? Pretty soon we’ll be saying “under his eye” or “under his makeup”)

They're not even hiding anymore.

Get your vaccinations now before they’re gone!

Hey #Texas! Pay attention!! The push for school vouchers is rooted in white Christian Nationalism, funded by billionaires. This will hurt our children, hurt our businesses, and hurt our state. FIGHT BACK! #Resist #texaslege Find out how much your school district stands to lose dontdefundmyschool.com

Riddle me this, Batman….

This hurts. Sad to hear that this program is not continuing at NASA…I mean, why give girls the extra help breaking into a male dominated field? 😭 They are hurting our girls in so many ways….

Did you know you could sit with ROADwomen at the Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast Versus Luncheon on 2/28 for only $100? If you're a member (if you aren't yet, you should be!) you can snag your ticket here: secure.actblue.com/donate/versu...

time for @warren.senate.gov to throw down

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

fuck yea

At the @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social Candidate Forun for the interim @texasdemocrats.bsky.social Chair! @roadwomen.bsky.social

Now more than ever.

It's obviously not the most important thing happening here-- but making a point to use a specific social media site for govt. communication and nothing else-- and announcing it... That is worth noting

Ketchup On Walls Alert: HIGH

Thank you! #RESIST

By confirming Russell Vought The GOP finally got a national abortion ban Because here is what Vought swore to do in Project 2025: End medication abortion Make hospitals deny life-saving care Prosecute people for mailing abortion meds Conduct surveillance on pregnant woman WE MUST FIGHT BACK

Bad news for Houston

"If the 'DOGE' endeavor is working, why can’t the White House just tell the truth about what it's doing?" www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Was sent a memo from a DOJ contact. New AG announcement: DOJ will criminally prosecute private corporations who enact DEIA policies. Yes—private corporations😳 This is Project 2025. This is fascism. This will get worse. My full analysis: www.qasimrashid.com/p/ag-bondi-t...

O. M. G. 🤬

We're excited to collaborate with P.O.P/Protest Organize Participate for our February Day of Action! We'll be collecting and packaging supplies to distribute to unhoused people in Houston. Drop off donations, help package them up, or both! Swipe for info on which supplies are most needed.

Read and repeat.

"Texas authorities arrested a Jan. 6 rioter recently pardoned by President Trump on Thursday for online solicitation of a minor..." thehill.com/regulation/c...

This is important. “Disappearing” migrants is the stuff of nightmares and we must not forget them.

The Office of Personnel Management, now overseen by Elon Musk, just issued a memo to all heads of federal agencies ordering a startling change in the status of CIOs. It signals Musk's potential move to take over the IT of the entire federal government.

Yes Jasmine! 👏

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! she shouts into the void

A message of encouragement from @aoc.bsky.social from those feeling despair (as Musk tramples the 🇺🇸 government): “We outnumber them — authoritarians are like the Wizard of Oz, they rely on their PERCEIVED power, not their actual power. You can resist. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFqgcQb...

Great thread on this:

One GOP proposal takes aim squarely at single parents by eliminating the “head of household” filing status to reap some $200B more in taxes over a decade. New: @robert-faturechi.bsky.social @justinelliott.bsky.social

Day 9 and we’re already on concentration camps. The bingo card is almost full already. The fire hose of chaos and hate and stupidity is already too much. 🤬

This EO is just gets worse and worse with every line.
