.@BetoORourke to a Greg Abbott supporter who laughed when the gubernatorial candidate mentioned the mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas: “It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.” #txlege

@Acyn this is one of the best things I've ever seen

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

Instead of hoping the power grid holds up, let’s fix the grid so we know it'll hold up.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

Abbott wants us to forget about Uvalde, move on, ask no more questions.

We won't. We demand accountability and action.

As governor, I'll do everything in my power to get to the bottom of what happened, bring justice to the families, and prevent this crisis from happening again.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

Six years ago today, we lost five officers in a Dallas mass shooting. Abbott promised action but took none.

FIVE major mass shootings later, and he STILL refuses to act as more officers have been gunned down in Texas than in any other state.

Let's vote him out and save lives.

I’m a cis woman. My womanhood is not threatened by trans women. Their struggle is my struggle. Bodily autonomy & equal protection under the law. We are in this together. Always.

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

When asked about the response of state officials following the death of 51 migrants in San Antonio, TX, Bexar County Commissioner Rebeca Clay-Flores said this:

'Vote for a governor of Texas who cares about people. Period.'

“Your kid’s life is on the ballot.
Your reproductive rights are on the ballot.
Your ability to marry the person that you love, that’s all on the ballot right now.
This is not Rs and Ds. This is America”

@GeorgiaDUILaw @CharlTaylorPage I am also adopted, had a good life, reunited with birthmother when I was 37, and 13 yrs later have a close relationship with both my adoptive and birthfamilies. AND I am 100% prochoice for anyone any time for any reason b/c I have empathy for those whose stories are different.

Holy shit, Dick's Sporting Goods for the win on abortion access for its employees!!!👏👏👏

���I was wrong,” she added.

Sarah feared this day might come. In her memory, let us renew our commitment to the fight for reproductive rights for all.

Thread about Sarah Weddington, who argued Roe v. Wade

[Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson @RepEBJ]

This is Sarah Weddington, Kay Bailey Hutchison, and I in the Texas House in 1973.

That same year, at 26 years old, Sarah went before the Supreme Court and successfully argued Roe v. Wade.

NO MATTER WHAT those dorks @ the Supreme Court say about abortion — you (yes, YOU!) can get abortion pills mailed to you no matter where you live.

@AidAccessUSA does “advanced provision” which means you don’t have to be pregnant to get them!

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

BREAKING: SCOTUS just issued their opinion in NYSRPA v Bruen and they got it wrong. As our gun violence crisis gets even worse, SCOTUS has caved to the gun lobby's extreme agenda and will make it harder for some states and cities to protect public safety. #GunLawsSaveLives

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

It is a fact that Abbott has failed Texas.

who says Louie Gohmert's never right about anything?

If they arm teachers, trust me that training will be a website where you click through minilessons & get a little certificate after like 25 minutes, & we will be forced to do it in a staff meeting after school when we’re already tired, & the DOE will say we were all fully trained
