the attention she deserves. She's running for governor of Texas. She's running for us. She's not running to keep the billionaires in power. (Greg Abbott is, tho.)

Your right to read is being infringed upon, and librarians have become the first responders in the fight for democracy and First Amendment rights. Texas has become ground zero as sweeping book bans are adopted at an unprecedented rate. Read More👉

I was a reference librarian in Texas during the census. That means I was to promote participation. It was like Abbott didn’t want a true count.

Explain to me like I'm a four year old why Greg Abbott cares so much about my privacy and safety in a woman's bathroom yet disregards my right to privacy and safety in a gynecologist's office?

I am heartbroken over the tragic event that occurred in Texas. People on here ditch Texas but so many people are donating money to help. Others are delivering supplies. Texans are such good people. That’s why I am perplexed by why we keep voting in evil people in office.

No prob. Believe me, many people want to leave, but can’t. Texas is one of the worst states in the nation for high rates of poverty/uninsured people under Greg Abbott. Now he’s going after the Blue Cities. We’re in a battle down here.

Just saying. Quit demeaning Texans. There are many intelligent people here who fully understand what is going on. We are overrun with gerrymandering and ignorance.

I think the funniest thing about the Ted Cruz Curse is he really won’t confine it to just a couple of teams; if you are a Texas school and you have a big game, there is a decent chance Ted is rolling in wearing your polo and bringing your doom with him

If Trump starts a sentence with: "Everybody knows ..." whatever he says next, nobody knows it. And if Trump starts a sentence with: "Everybody likes my idea of ..." whatever he says next, nobody likes it, understands it, or thinks it's doable.

Over 100 ICE agents spent 5 hrs in Chicago last week, arresting only 2. In Denver & Aurora, CO, over 400 agents were dispatched for migrant violence linked to Tren de Aragua. After knocking on hundreds of doors, only 1 member was arrested. (NYP, ABC News)

Trump's freeze of federal grants and loans could be devastating – less money for public safety, health care, and education. This is ripping off hardworking Americans and will raise the cost of living. Democrats will fight this illegal order.

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

House Republicans are celebrating pardons issued to a bloodthirsty mob that violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021. What happened to backing the Blue? Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder. Don’t ever lecture America again. About anything.
