When your kids’ school libraries can’t get new books, blame Angela Paxton & her disastrous bill. It’s a regulatory nightmare w/dozens of confusing steps & drawn out timelines to buy 1 new title. And It’ll ban books w/a single Fword & any book “inconsistent w/community values.”

So we are saying because someone who was 22 took something and stepped in front of a train, we are banning it. How many people have had too much to drink and then done incredibly harmful things to themselves? Are we banning alcohol? We know we aren’t banning guns. TX=Nanny state

And remember, ALL Republicans voted to ban books in 2023 (HB900). Even the ones who said they were anti-voucher (Rogers, Geren, Vandeaver et al.) voted to ban books.

The clash over Tarrant County election maps is not just about redistricting. For sore Republicans and long-suffering Democrats, it’s an existential crisis | Opinion star-telegram.com/opinion/bud-ke…

Pastors for Children No, not a whole bunch, a handful - 12…one of which became a Republican. SB13 this sesh - all Rs and 2 Dems voted for it . The Democratic Party overwhelmingly votes for the freedom to read and democracy. The authoritarian Republican Party bans books. There’s no both sides.

📊 SMU researcher Dr. Andrea Barreiro confirms that Tarrant County’s proposed redistricting maps pack non-White voters into a single district, diluting their voting power and dismantling Precinct 2. This analysis suggests intentional racial gerrymandering. Learn more:

As the R members of the Tarrant County Commissioners Court and others across the county lie to the public about Redistricting in Tarrant County, we should hear the truth, from the County’s own YouTube channel. 🧐 FACT: Full process in 2021, 4-1 vote re-adopted maps until 2030

This was in San Antonio yesterday. This is what Republicans have chosen to do to immigrants. These ppl showed up to immigration court. They were doing it right. They’re not criminals. If you voted for Trump, you’re complicit, and you should be deeply ashamed of yourself.

And I’m so dang tired of the “both sides” bullshit. No, there is no “both sides”. Republicans are purposefully traumatizing as many people, from as many diverse groups, as they possibly can. They knew what they were voting for and they willingly chose it. Shameful!

It’s always the ppl who yell Jesus the loudest and wear their Christianity like a cultish uniform that have the least empathy, are the most hateful, and relish watching other humans suffer.

Tim is spinning the only narrative he has on Redistricting of Tarrant County: “It’s purely partisan”. He knows courts will strike a racial gerrymander. The data the county won’t show says it’s black, brown, & Asian voters moved from Precinct 2 to 1. Tim says it’s just partisan.

Her ability to be selfish and hateful is remarkable. But, once again, the folks yelling Jesus the loudest and wearing their Christianity like a cultish uniform have the least empathy, are the most hateful, and relish watching other humans suffer.

There aren’t sex clubs in public schools, but LGBTQ students exist. Once again, ALL Republicans who voted (84), voted yes - including Geren/Vandeaver/Darby. The ONLY ppl who voted no were Dems. 4 Dems voted yes. The Republican Party degrades and traumatizes marginalized ppl.

The ENTIRE elected TX Republican Party promotes and advances white Christian nationalism. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into believing otherwise. They ALL vote for it. They are actively attempting to frame LGBTQ persons as immoral and erase their existence. Nazis did the same.

Oscar Longoria, Armando Martinez, Claudia Ordaz, and Richard Peña Raymond voted for SB12 which targets LGBTQ students in public schools among other problematic things.

That handful of Republicans at least stopped gaslighting us about supporting public schools. They voted for vouchers this time around. And, again, voted to ban books and further marginalize LGBTQ students. White Christian nationalism is the name of the game.

The Ten Commandments will literally be hanging in classrooms. Our son’s 9th grd math teacher put scripture on students’ math tests. Our daughter had “morals come from God” in school counselors’ presentation. Republicans do NOTHING but try to indoctrinate kids w/ their beliefs.
