As voter suppression is debated in the Texas House, remember, whatever provisions legislators end up passing, they can’t change the fact that this legislation isn’t addressing a problem. It just cultivates conspiracies about stolen elections and undermines our democracy.

Rep. @NicoleCollier95 is questioning @jessicafortexas now about the criminal penalties that target poll workers. These penalties would make it even harder to find poll workers for elections.
We talked about this in a recent letter to lawmakers ⬇️ #txlege

In introducing her amendment, @jessicafortexas says "I'm not really sure what problem we're trying to solve today." #SB7 is based on voter fraud lies.
She then goes on to discuss the realities of racism & voter suppression that are still alive and well in our state. #txlege

Rep. @jessicafortexas is introducing an amendment to #SB7 that would strike the bill's enactment clause, basically keeping the bill from going into effect. We're a fan of this amendment. #txlege #TXDeservesBetter

This year, Ft. Bend considered joining the @GHPartnership as a dues-paying member, but due to their deafening silence on anti-voting, Jim Crow 2.0 bills we will NOT be moving forward.
Thanks to @SylvesterTurner, @LinaHidalgoTX., nonprofits, businesses, & all for speaking out.

That’s funny, because Jamie Dimon didn’t give working people an itemized list of the school districts, public hospitals, infrastructure, or affordable housing projects he was helping defund when he pushed for the $2T GOP Tax Scam in 2017 w/ goodies for yacht and jet owners.

Jamie Dimon says if lawmakers plan to raise taxes he would want an itemized list of what the money would be spent on trib.al/5Xz6AE0

I’ve often said: if there are angels in heaven, they’re nurses. Nurses have given so much, and saved so many lives throughout the course of this pandemic.
On this first day of National Nurses Week — know that I am deeply thankful, and will always fight for you.

Congrats to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer for winning the JFK Profile in Courage Award.
She continued to do her job, even after a kidnapping threat that was "inspired" by the former guy.
SHE PERSISTED.

The Texas Legislature has now passed essentially an abortion ban (even in rape & incenst) AND permit-less carry.
Effectively, pretty much no one can get an abortion, pretty much everyone can open-carry a gun.
Meanwhile... no word on expanding healthcare to the 20% uninsured.
