While many of us are enjoying #LaborDay as a day off, farm workers are laboring in the fields. Yesi sent this pic while working in the sweet potatoes in Merced County CA. They work for minimum wage while bringing this vegetable to our tables. #WeFeedYou

TX #LaborDay stats: • TX workers are uninsured ~2X natl average (20.5% v 11%); •More ppl make < $15/hr in TX than natl average (39% v 32%); •In US, Texans work the most hrs. 25 yrs of TX GOP rule has been a beat down for working ppl. In solidarity, WE can be the difference

This Labor Day, as you likely enjoy your day off, and when you vote this November I hope you remember the real people behind the things that you take for granted and vote for workers rights. #LaborDay

I don't think this point is made enough when we talk about the REPUBLICAN book bans. The outrage they feel when reading some books... is intentional. Books gotta book.

Ken Paxton’s raids are point blank voter suppression. Texas is 60% Latino, Black, and Asian - and he is trying to silence our voices by shaking down our grandmothers.

Some days it’s so hard to log on and see some of the most hateful things coming from some of the state’s highest leaders and then being expected to pretend that dehumanization of large groups of people is “just politics”

Corrupt Ken Paxton worked with extremists to overturn the 2020 election and undermine our democracy. Now he’s raiding homes looking for “illegal votes” despite Republican experts proving our elections are safe and secure. Never trust corrupt Ken.

We know it’s back-to-school in America because the shootings have already started. Georgia has among the weakest gun laws in America. cbsnews.com/news/school-sh…

Lt Governor and Governor are mumbling again about strong arming Texans into voucher schemes despite a resounding rejection from legislators and the people they represent on BOTH sides of the aisle. When will they put this energy into improving schools for ALL Texans??

States who throw taxpayer dollars at these voucher schemes have seen the lowest outcomes in school testing in the country and it’s clear the declines were due to implementation of voucher schemes and lack of investment in public schools

Vouchers are a tax break for the wealthy. Plain and simple.

Why the Gov and Lt Gov are so against investing in their communities and a strong, educated workforce I’ll never understand.

Here he goes again! Wasting tax dollars on frivolous lawsuits! Harassing marginalized communities! Spreading baseless lies about voter fraud!

Another school year. Another school shooting. Absolutely heartbreaking that we continue to allow this to happen to our kids.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Let me be clear, attempting to close polling locations is voter suppression. I will never go along with colleagues on the court who want to eliminate The University of Texas at Arlington as an early voting location. UTA students have unique mobility challenges and hosting a polling site on campus is

Greg Abbott is not serious about protecting Texas’ voter rolls. If he was he would not have allowed Texas to withdraw from the Electronic Registration Information Center. A tool that allows states to share voter registration data and helps make sure voters are not registered to

We are the only developed nation with this problem. The only place where children have to practice for mass shootings while in their classrooms. The only place where parents fear sending their children to school due to gun violence.

If not after Sandy Hook, Parkland, Uvalde, and now Apalachee—then when will we say enough is enough? My heart is with the Apalachee High School families mourning the loss of two children and two teachers due to senseless gun violence. I’m sorry our country didn’t prevent this.
