The death toll in Gaza continues to climb amid a deadly Israeli assault on the besieged territory. Issam Adwan of We Are Not Numbers says it's part of Israeli aggression going back many years. 'This is ongoing, has been happening since 2008, 2012, 2014.' democracynow.org/2021/5/13/isra…

After years of trying to erase #LGBTQ people from public life, supporters of #HB1399 in the #TXLege would have us believe they care about the well-being of #trans youth. All they care about is getting re-elected. No on HB1399! #protecttranskids #StopTargetingTransKids

The anti- #LGBTQ wing of the #TxLege is once again attacking the #trans community & using vulnerable kids as a tool to bring out their base. #HB1399 would harm trans kids by banning medically necessary gender-affirming healthcare. Vote NO! #ProtectTransKids #StopTargetingTransKIds

I just wrote a TSEU letter: Hands off our pensions! Vote No on #SB321 . Write one to the #txlege here

#TXLege is pushing #SB534 , which would give #QualifiedImmunity ' to school cops. This will protect cops who brutally attack kids. Let your TX Senator and members of the Committee on Education know that you oppose a bill that protects violent cops.

Does anyone really believe those pushing #HB4042 care one bit about women’s rights? These are the same people who push bills to keep women from accessing needed reproductive healthcare. #TXlege stop using women/girls to attack #Trans kids. #transrights #protecttranskids

#HB4042 hearing going on right now. Kudos to @JamesTalarico for bringing up actual issues such as suicide in #trans youth rather than issues that are not based in fact. #trans rights #TransRightsAreHumanRights tlchouse.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.ph…

Hearing today on #HB4042 , which would ban trans students in public schools from participating in sports. #TXLege is once again attacking the #LGBTQ community. If you're in Austin please stop by the Capitol and register against HB 4042. #TransRights #TransRights AreHumanRights

Stop attacking #trans kids to further your political careers; and stop pretending you give a damn about girl's & women's sports. No on #SB29 #HB4042 #SB1646 #HB68 #TransPeopleBelong #TXLege #TransRights Rep. Cole Hefner Sen. Charles Perry Steve Toth usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

Texas is again attacking state workers' #RightToOrganize . If you're a state employee, retiree, or a Texan who supports the right of workers to join a #union , take action now. @cwa6186 TX10 Indivisible @IndvsbleTXlege

Can we please get people stimulus checks and mortgage relief and rent forgiveness and small business support and free testing and hazard pay and healthcare for the uninsured (& underinsured) in the middle of a pandemic or is that too socialist too?

For the Dems who think I’m just being a selfish, divisive bombthrower from a deep blue seat, maybe you’ll listen to Doug Jones in Alabama when he says the same thing ⬇️

Vote @SiegelForTexas! #TurnTX10Blue

I wrote about the long, symbiotic relationship between law enforcement and racist vigilante organizations. The degree of overlap, which is virtually unbroken from the end of the Civil War to the present, is astonishing. prospect.org/justice/police…

I’ve literally had a client arrested and charged with reckless endangerment for *dancing on the subway* but sure NYPD, go off

Final thoughts heading to #ATXCouncil budget hearings:

The proposed amendment isn't a $150M APD cut - it's $23M. APD units w/ annual budgets totalling ~$124M could be moved or cut at some point this year but much of that $ will still flow thru APD w/no layoffs planned.

(1/6)

Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and his wife, Aldona Wos, nominated to become our ambassador to Canada, own between $30 million and $75 million of assets in competitors to the US Postal Service. No problem there, right?
