Only two days ago, the @texastribune.org published a story, exposing how Julie Johnson was was trading #Palantir stock, although allegedly taking an #antiICE stance, she was instead profiting off of the kidnapping of children and murdering of American citizens happening in #Minneapolis.

The Dallas City Council did the right thing rejecting Bill Roth’s nominee to the Ethics Commission. Natalie LeVeck may be a lawyer, but she’s tied at the hip to her husband’s radical (and homophobic) smear campaigns and political attacks.

Without probable cause or reasonable suspicion, ICE and Border Patrol cannot just go into parks, Home Depots, and other public spaces just to round up Brown people. That is flat out illegal.

Republicans in Congress voted to defund public radio stations that help families stay safe and informed. Trump's billionaire buddies get tax cuts for an extra yacht — but our kids lose PBS.

Dallas shouldn’t be ICE’s playground. The Dallas City Council should introduce a ordinance to require ALL law enforcement — even feds — to show their face and ID when operating in our city. No masks. No intimidation. No secret police. #Dallas

No police officer should be able to wear a mask in public while arresting you. Push your local government to make it a crime.

Spent an hour last night redrawing Texas congressional districts to show a fair map is possible (left). Here’s DFW—notice how communities of interest and natural boundaries actually make sense? Meanwhile, Republicans aren’t even pretending anymore (their map on the right).

ICE offers should wear clearly identifying uniforms, show their badge and show their face.

Dallas County Progressives/DSA: consider running for Precinct Chair! It’s easy to run for, helps mobilize voters in your neighborhood & shapes the direction of the local Democrat Party. It’s building a bench to push progressive policy. If you need help or have questions, DM me!

In Greg Abbott’s special session, 82 bills were filed thus far —attacking women, trans people, and restricting birth control. Not one bill to help the victims of the catastrophic floods in Central Texas. These legislators only care about pushing their extreme agenda, not everyday Texans.

Just a reminder: There has never been, nor will there ever be, an LGB community without the TQ+ community. We are fighting for liberation for everyone and our community will not be divided. Join the fight to protect LGBTQ+ rights: hrc.im/InYourArea

ICE has become the largest law enforcement agency in the United States. Nothing says “land of the free” like turning immigration cops into the GOP’s secret police. #AbolishICE

People deported in violation of court orders. Kids deported while undergoing life-saving treatment. ICE at schools and churches. This isn’t “law and order.” This is chaos. And it puts all of our rights at risk.

Americans across the country just saw their credit scores tank by 100+ points after student loan forbearance quietly ended. Many didn’t even know payments had resumed. This isn’t just bad policy—it’s financial sabotage. It’s time to cancel student debt.

Hey Ted, there’s literally more evidence that you’re the Zodiac Killer than there is that Kilmar is a member of MS-13. But we believe both of you should receive due process.

I loved seeing so many Democrats motivated and ready to fight for our communities at the @dallasdemocrats.bsky.social Annual Fish Fry! It was great seeing so many friends and my congresswoman, @jasmineforus.bsky.social! @corcarrasco.bsky.social @dallasstonewall.bsky.social

Congrats @kendallscudder.bsky.social on becoming the next chair of the Texas Democratic Party! We need young, bold, progressive leaders in Texas and I have confidence that you will help elect more Democrats up and down the ballot!

Hakeem Jeffries, you could take a few lessons from Jasmine Crockett. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social www.stonewalldemocratsofdallas.com/post/hakeem-...

Thank god a democrat showed up to work last night. Thank you @algreen.house.gov for standing up to fascism, even if you’re standing alone.

Really? Praising Reagan? Democrats don't get the more they praise the GOP, the more people will vote GOP. Stand up for yourselves. Please.

Thank you to the members of the @txprogressives.bsky.social for the overwhelming vote of support in our race for TDP chair!

Congrats to @kendallscudder.bsky.social for receiving the endorsement of the Texas Progressive Caucus ! As a member of the caucus, I was proud to vote for a young, energetic progressive to fight for Texans as the next Chair of the Texas Democratic Party.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Time to start bullying.

Quinnipiac Poll (2/13-17) Fire Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.

17% golfing 37% saying stupid sh*t 46% being an asshole

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ DFW Please Share 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ This Trans Day of Visibility, we’re fighting back! 💪🏽 Join the protest at Dallas City Hall! More details to come.

🧵 Algorithmic rent control is driving up rents in cities like Dallas. Here’s how:

The FDIC is what insures that when you deposit money in a U.S. bank you will not lose that money. Trump and his cabinet of yes men want to abolish the FDIC. Your hard-earned money is at risk.

🚨 This Sunday - 2/2/25 - 2pm | Dallas City Hall🚨 Protest against ICE crackdowns! 🚨 Este Domingo - 2/2/25 - 2pm | Dallas City Hall 🚨 Manifestación contra ataques de ICE. Comparte!

Being a civil servant isn’t easy. I am feeling inspired by the comments from Federal Employees today. One said they woke up remembering their oath: “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND domestic…”

If you snitch to ICE, you would have also snitched on Anne Frank.

Dear Democrats, you can fulfill your constitutional and elected duties and not be happy about the situation. Seeing so many congressional leaders joyfully working the inauguration was stomach turning.

TikTok is gone, people are pissed, and this is only the beginning.

TikTok is a self inflicted wound that Democrats gifted Donald Trump. Joe Biden’s team should not be anywhere near any future campaigns.

TikTok is officially down. I hate this timeline.

Henry Cuellar has got to go. ✌🏽

PSA: Michelle Obama does not owe anyone an explanation as to why she’s not attending the inauguration of a felon.

LGBTQ+ Community: Republicans are targeting your access to free preventative care drugs like PrEP! The Supreme Court will hear a case challenging the aspect of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that provides cost-free access to HIV preventative medications and cancer screenings.

More representatives voted on this bill than there are trans individuals in college or professional sports. Nearly 96% of Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to uphold the rights of the trans community. We must continue our mission to elect LGBTQ+ friendly politicians at all levels. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!

An icon.

There is only one choice for TX House Speaker and that is my good friend @anamariafortexas.com! Since her election in 2018, she’s been a devoted champion for public education, affordable healthcare and the success of hard working Texans— and she’s the only candidate for speaker who has.

Democrats in the Texas House need to unite behind @anamariafortexas.com! Let the Republicans sit in their own mess and present a united front.

Just another day in the Texas legislature.

Everyone has a level of privilege. I encourage you to consider what yours is, then use that privilege to help someone else. Give someone new a chance. Offer a seat at the table to someone who doesn’t normally have a voice.

Congrats to @corcarrasco.bsky.social for being sworn in as President of @dallasstonewall.bsky.social! I’m excited to work with you and the new Executive Team to further LGBTQ+ equality in Texas!

Congrats to our new Executive Team who was sworn in this weekend! They’re ready to hit the ground running and get to work. Thank you to the previous board for your hard work and dedication to advancing LGBTQ+ equality and rights! #DallasStonewall #TexasDems

For people who politics affects the most, politics are personal. For some, politics means the difference of having access to healthcare or not. It means being able to marry your significant other or not. It means being protected from a hate crime, or not. You SHOULD take politics personally.
