For such a beloved & inspirational man of god, it’s strange I don’t see any quotes being shared in his favor.

One more! Atx activism. Also, show up at the house chamber today/tomorrow to support your opinion on the bathroom bill!

Upcoming atx activism opportunities:

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

Here are 10 news sources you can actually trust. From global reporting giants to local Austin gems like @texas_tribune, @kut_austin and @austinmonitor. No clickbait. No party spin. Just facts, transparency, and journalism that still gives a damn.

AUSTIN, TEXAS - August 20, 2025 2:44pm - Texas State Representative Nicole Collier was in a restroom at the State Capital when she was told her participating in a phone call with other Democratic Party leaders was an arrestable felony offense, so she had to leave the call. 👎🏽👎🏽

There are people here now & planning to stay here from open till they kick us out all week

In Texas, Republicans advanced a mid-decade map designed to wipe out five Democratic seats. When Democrats walked out to block the vote, Trump’s allies called in the FBI to track them down. Find out how to fight back in your state✊🏼 #Pinks #MessWithTexas indivisible.org/resource/red...

Upcoming events!

Cincinnati media reporting that Kentucky police charges against protesters crossing the bridge over the Ohio River last Thursday include felony rioting. The only people I see rioting are cops. Armed assault against an unarmed man. You can’t reform this.

Once again we have a new outrage to distract us from the previous one.

Upcoming Austin activism

Remember, it’s not just mass protests that are needed & ways to fight back. Build your community, little connections everyday. Anything you can do that helps another person helps the wider world

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

May 1, state capitol, noon.

Had a convo over the w/e about the SAVE act. They had the opinion that “I’m ok, so everyone else is just complaining.” PLEASE don’t do this. Not everyone needs to explain their struggles for your approval for this administration to be dangerous. How long till it affects you? How bad till you care?

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Nero fiddled, Trump golf’s, the people suffer.

April 19th Nationwide We Rally once again , fighting for our Democracy, Upholding our Constitution & Bringing back POWER TO THE PEOPLE. We will not let this treasonous, authoritarian Rule be allowed within OUR COUNTRY. We will not let this pass , because WE ARE NOT A MOMENT, WE ARE A MOVEMENT. ✊🏼🇺🇸✨️

In addition to health screenings & tax returns, can we start demanding HS transcripts? Seems WAY too many of our leaders failed or never took basic civics. Why else are we explaining the constitution to them?
