Last night, CBS refused to air Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico after pressure from Trump. Colbert addressed the issue with his audience and released the clip online anyway.

RETWEET to thank Colbert for standing up for free speech!

The Super Bowl halftime show is UNION MADE!!!!

Shout out to all the performers and behind the scenes workers that made it go off without a hitch!!

[Amanda Marzullo for Travis County @AmandaForTravis]

Travis County workers have been ignored.

While my opponent voted to give massive tax breaks to Elon Musk, the people who keep this county running are fighting for secure benefits, basic protections, and fair pay.

It’s time to make Travis County work for all working families.

Texas school districts slam the Senate’s school finance plan: “It’s like your house being on fire, and the fire department showing up with a 12 oz cup of water.” @MidwayISD, @WacoISD, @OttTempleISD, @NorthwestISD, @TexasAFT @TexasHDC @jamestalarico

Texas Already Gives Public Ed Dollars to Private Operators: A third of these campus private partnerships have already ended. Many have failed state academic ratings. @SAALocal67, @Menendez4Texas, @TenaciousPinTX, @TexasAFT, @OfficialATPE, @NathanForTexas https://t.co/nHC10TNr2N

[Gene Wu @GeneforTexas]

It has been 25 days since the Senate received HB 2, the bill to fund our schools, and it has not even been granted a hearing.

Republican leadership promised Texans a ‘Texas Two-Step,’ but they’re delivering our schools a Texas Two-Timing instead.

Today the TX House Higher Ed Committee is holding a hearing on SB 37, a bill that threatens academic freedom and would censor students’ exposure to diverse curricula.

If you can, make a call to your rep or the House Higher Education Committee and tell them to vote no on SB 37!

ENGAGED.

State Rep. @VentonJonesTX, a Dallas Democrat, just proposed to his longtime partner, Gregory Scott, Jr. moments after being sworn in. Jones popped the question when the House went into recess. #txlege

🧮Your math doesn't check out, Gov. Adjusted for inflation, the average TX teacher salary declined by over 9% since 2009-2010 school year. See how educators' salaries in your sch. dist. lag due to chronic underfunding by state: https://t.co/Lc4k4zA35t #txlege

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

We have a $32 billion surplus in Texas, but public schools are being closed and teachers denied raises because @GregAbbott_TX wants to push the school voucher scam on our state.

Cut the bullshit. Fund Texas Public Schools. https://t.co/g6b6arMwko

Thrilled to see Kentucky voters stand up for their rights by defeating Amendment 2! I was honored to be in the state advocating against this measure alongside @govandybeshear & @120Strong. This is a powerful statement from Kentuckians in support of public education. #AFTvotes
