Some good news! Today a federal court blocked Texas from using the new gerrymandered maps in the 2026 midterms. www.texastribune.org/2025/11/18/t...

Forward: People, Purpose, Power was more than a celebration—it was a call to action. Together with co-hosts @txorgproject.bsky.social and our partners, allies, and movement leaders, we honored a legacy of progress while charting a bold course forward for democracy and economic justice.

🚨PAXTON TARGETING LATINO VOTERS 🚨 Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, is using his political office to silence and dismantle nonprofits that serve immigrants, Latinos, and other marginalized communities.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

🚨 🚨 🚨 Tarrant County Republicans are silencing the voices of their constituents, particularly Black and Latino residents, all in an attempt to cling to power. www.axios.com/local/dallas...

Thank you, Rep. Nicole Collier for standing up for democracy. #FreeRepCollier #TeamTeal #texasorganizingproject

UPDATE: Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier remains locked in the Texas Capitol after refusing to sign a permission slip to be under escort by Texas DPS. SHARE this graphic to spread the word and join us in taking a stand against this rising GOP fascism!

HAPPENING NOW: We're witnessing defiance in the face of rising Texas GOP fascism, as State Rep. Nicole Collier is refusing to go along with their game. #txlege www.rawstory.com/nicole-colli...

WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.

Calling for the arrest of Democrats that are actively fighting back against the attempt to rob Texans of a free and fair election. It’s getting more Orwellian by the minute.

We hope to see everyone at the Capitol today! This starts in 15 mins. STOP TRUMPMANDERING! #Trumpmandering #txlege

🚨 ACTION ALERT: Greg Abbott & Donald Trump’s new congressional map just dropped, and it’s everything we feared: gerrymandered, racist, and deeply corrupt.

On this day in 1910, a white mob of hundreds massacred Black residents in Slocum, a majority-Black community in Texas.

So… The Republican-led Congress and Trump are completely pulling public media funding. No more public media = no more unwanted accountability. Are we seeing the play? It’s going to be on all of US to seek knowledge, and spread it. Don’t let their attempt to silence us, prevent you from speaking!

Another day, another coverup. Every time you think his conduct can’t get worse, he finds new ways to top himself. Why is Trump considering pardoning a convicted sex offender and child sex trafficker? I think we all know the answer to that one. www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

So, we’re about six months in to Trump’s presidency, and he’s already completed about 50% of the policies from Project 2025. This comes after his countless lies to the masses and attempts to dissociate from it publicly. Another example of Trump’s hypocrisy www.project2025.observer

🚨 🚨 🚨 Texas Republican corruption in action:

Lots of good food, fun, and fellowship this past week, as #TeamTeal celebrated Juneteenth in our communities. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽

This is Juneteenth. We won’t just reflect, we’ll reignite. We rise in celebration. We rise in memory. We rise in action. #Juneteenth2025

We're sending our love and extending our appreciation today to the dads in our communities who continue to uplift our families, fuel our movements, and empower future generations. Happy Father's Day!

It’s not “just” Medicaid cuts. It’s not “just” ICE raids. It’s not “just” less food stamps. It’s all connected. All designed to break us apart. All for billionaire tax breaks. We fight back TONIGHT. 7PM ET. RSVP: popdemoc.org/FightBack #CareNotCuts #AbolishICE #WeFightBack

Americans of all races and backgrounds value freedom—which is why people nationwide are taking action against the MAGA regime abducting our neighbors. They want us divided. But we won’t back down. We’ll fight for a future where everyone can thrive—no exceptions. 📷 @voteinorout.bsky.social

📣 NO MAGA BUDGET CUTS 📣 TOP members from Houston, San Antonio, & Dallas were back in Washington D.C. this week, ramping up pressure on elected officials with our partners at @popdemocaction.bsky.social, to call out drastic cuts to Medicaid & federal housing assistance in Trump's budget proposal.

This overreach is straight from the authoritarian playbook — an intimidation tactic to silence voices and stifle dissent. Our MAGA puppet governor never wastes a chance to incite fear and play political theater. time.com/7293162/greg...

🎉 A BIG people-powered win tonight in San Antonio! 🎉 Congratulations, Gina Ortiz Jones!

It's RUNOFF ELECTION DAY — Vote Gina Ortiz Jones for San Antonio Mayor! Polls are open until 7 p.m. today. Visit bexar.org/elections to find a polling place near you!

Harris County TOP staff and members showed up to speak at Houston City Hall today to AGAIN make clear that the City’s current Disaster Recovery Action Plan does NOT line up with the unmet needs of working-class communities exposed during the Derecho and Hurricane Beryl.

🏳️‍🌈 HAPPY PRIDE! 🏳️‍🌈 As Pride Month starts today, TOP remains in unwavering solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ community, especially our Black and Latino brothers and sisters.

This dedicated team of San Antonio TOP PAC canvassers cast their ballots for Gina Ortiz Jones for mayor today. Remember to vote in these runoffs! This Tuesday is the last day to vote early, and Election Day is Saturday, June 7! 🗳️🗳️🗳️

Lt. Dan is back with the fear-mongering theatrics. 🙄 #txlege www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

Important update on #SJR87 — awful legislation that chips away at the right to due process. Help us tell the following reps to please vote against this bad proposal. @rafaelanchia.bsky.social – (512) 463-0746 @reppennymshaw.bsky.social – (512) 463-0620 Salman Bhojani – (512) 463-0522 #txlege

#ICYMI: TOP members were in Washington D.C. last week, raising their voices in opposition to massive Medicaid cuts in Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill." ✊🏿 ✊🏾 ✊🏽

THE MORE YOU KNOW: "On May 1, 1865 in Charleston, South Carolina, thousands of newly freed slaves organized a parade to honor soldiers who gave their lives that they might be free. This was not only a moving tribute, but it was also a symbolic one." #MemorialDay2025 www.theroot.com/did-you-know...

Five years ago today, the murder of #GeorgeFloyd sent shockwaves across not just the United States, but the world. #BlackLivesMatter thehill.com/opinion/civi...

As we observe the third anniversary of this heinous mass shooting in our state, we once again raise our voices for proven common-sense gun safety measures AND for holding accountable those elected officials who continue to prevent any meaningful reform. #txlege www.ksat.com/news/local/2...

AT CAPITOL HILL: TOP members from across the state were in Washington D.C. this week advocating with our partners at @popdemoc to call out drastic cuts to Medicaid and federal housing assistance in Trump’s budget proposal. The bill narrowly passed the House and now makes its way to the Senate.

Trump's reconciliation bill would cause the poorest 10% of Americans to experience a 4% decrease in their household resources, while the richest 10% would see up to a 4% increase in theirs as a result of the bill’s massive cuts to crucial welfare programs, combined with tax cuts for the rich.

📣 TOP ENDORSEMENT 📣 Gina Ortiz Jones understands what matters to our city's working families, and she's committed to championing our families' priorities — from protecting our rights, to making housing and childcare more affordable, to fighting for good-paying jobs with benefits.

Our struggles are real and our fates are linked. But a brighter tomorrow is within reach for us, if we unite and work to manifest the humane future we ALL deserve! #StrongerTogether

There’s not a single congressional district where more than 15% of Americans want to cut Medicaid. Yet 100% of House Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid. They’re not representing the people. They’re trying to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Medicaid provides critical health care to millions of people nationwide. Congress cannot cut this vital program.

With Trump's numbers sinking, is MAGA losing steam? It looked that way earlier this month, in local elections across our state. #TrumpSlump www.wfaa.com/article/news...

Sending love and expressing our gratitude to all mothers who day after day fight for justice and the better tomorrow we collectively deserve. Our families and communities are stronger because of you! 💐 #MothersDay2025

An administration of heartless, cruel, and downright weird people.

Greg Abbott — who today signed into law his school voucher scam SB2 — accepted $12 MILLION in campaign donations from an out-of-state pro-voucher billionaire to pass it. #txlege
