My statement on the courageous leadership shown by Texas House Democrats on behalf of the country.

That’s my Chair Emeritus of TLBC. Come on Bonnet 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. Trust.Black.Women. We always got time. With David Hackett Fischer”s book “African Founders, How Enslaved People Expanded American Ideals” perched on the table. I see you Rep Nicole Collier “ #texlege

Nicole, we are all in that chamber with you. Thank you to you and all the Texas Democrats who are standing up for the people.

Yep - this is disgusting. It’s inconsistent with the values of the Democratic Party and will not be tolerated. See how easy that was? Still waiting on Republicans to denounce the many threats we received every single day of the quorum break.

“Any member who says to you that there was a public hearing on this map is a liar.” -Redistricting Vice-Chair Jon Rosenthal, noting that the version of HB4 they’re about to vote on is a late substitute introduced for the first time two days ago.

This is not the end of the fight. These maps are a racist assault on fair representation and on democracy itself. We will see them in court, and we will see them at the ballot box. #txlege

See my closing comments on the rigged redistricting scheme that passed the Texas House yesterday. #txlege youtube.com/watch?v=9ZTPct…

I was in Austin today advocating for Harris County residents and engaging with leaders like James Talarico, Jon Rosenthal, and Mary Ann Perez. Together, we’re building partnerships that will strengthen our communities.

This bathroom bill is a joke.

Greg Abbott is so proud of serving his masters in DC by rigging these maps, while TEXAS flood victims are STILL waiting for relief. This session should have been all about flood relief and the PEOPLE of TEXAS, but Republican leaders only care about cheating and power. #txlege

My dad’s first job after immigrating here was making hotel beds to give us a better life. Today, his three kids are college grads. That’s why I stand with UNITE HERE Local 23 workers on strike. Immigrants and all families deserve fair wages, dignity, and the American dream.

Today as we pause to reflect on the events of 9-11, let's also remember how the event brought us together as a country. Let's honor the memory of those we lost and those who gave so much in the efforts to recover by remembering what we all share in common #USA #PatriotDay
