I grew up in a Gold Star Family, raised by a father who was a Silver Star hero in WWII. Every single one of the heroes in my family would be devastated over what our governments are perpetrating in American streets. Don’t hide from this…rise up, speak out…vote them out!

Truth telling right here. Add to this, we have the most unserious government in the history of America (and Texas). We must recruit the best candidates at every level and support them to the winner’s circle with $s and grassroots campaigning…we must!
Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.
It’s. All. Lies.
All the time.

Complete abuse of power. Senator Padilla is a fine, decent man who embodies all the qualities you look for in a great leader. He is warm and welcoming, kind and gracious. I wish he were my U.S. Senator. This despicable, disgraceful assault on him is disturbing and un-American!

Marc Elias, want to see how they really disenfranchise voters of color, take a look at the gerrymander of my Senate District 10 in 2021 redistricting. Took away all the minority power at the ballot box by cracking and packing them in heavily white areas. Happens in Texas over and over, every level.
Paxton’s office has spent years aggressively pursuing election fraud claims. In 2019, he attempted to purge 95,000 voters from the rolls, mostly Latino naturalized U.S. citizens. And since taking office, he has launched dozens of investigations and raids against voters, volunteers and poll workers.

A few years ago, our Texas Democratic Legislative delegation sat around a conference table with VP Harris taking about voter suppression. Not one legislator felt compelled to any utterance of malignantly sycophantic rhetoric. Trump’s ego (and economic strategy) must be fragile as a house of straw!

If you doubt your boycott of Amazon is making an impact, just take a look at the new TV/Cable ad. Major whining about how Amazon just reps product for small American businesses. Perhaps Bezos should have thought about that before he supported Fascism with their small business $ millions.

FACT
Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

The Texas Oligarchy has emboldened the leadership of Texas with overwhelming amounts of dark money right out in the open. The young student who testified is right on the facts. These bills are about having it their way…oppression, hate and discrimination!

This is powerful & it makes me sick to my stomach. How do people not see the parallels?
We CANNOT be silent. We MUST fight & resist.
If you wondered why people were silent in 1903s Germany, look at many in the US right now.
Share the truths. Call out lies.
IT’S UP TO US!

This is not an isolated case. Childbearing age women in Texas face the possibility of tragic consequences of the Texas abortion laws every single day.
Porsha Ngumezi should still be alive today. Texas’ abortion ban killed her.

Heartbreaking consequences of this administration. No question this oppression of women and children is intentional.
This is really tragic. Perinatal #IPV involves concerns about the immediate health and wellbeing of the adult victim, but abuse during pregnancy is also an indicator of a greater likelihood of a homicide ultimately being committed. And then there are concerns about the health of the baby. 1/3
Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

This is the reality for child-bearing age women in Texas. Appalling consequences for young women who want nothing more than to have autonomy over their own bodies, their own futures, their ability to have a baby after a miscarriage. Heartbreaking consequences for women!
