You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank.
You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask the neighbor to keep it down.
You can’t check out a farmer’s market or mail something at the post office or go to a parade, and you certainly can’t send your kids to school without worrying that someone will get shot.
That someone you LOVE will get shot.
Or that YOU will get shot.
This is where we are now.
This is not normal.
And this is not fucking ok.
It’s NOT fucking ok.
Warning bells of fascism should be going off across America. It's easy to see fascism in full-blown horror in Putin's terror campaign in Ukraine, but we're lying to ourselves if we pretend early signs aren’t all around us here at home.

Two of my colleagues’ proposed Harris County budgets read like a horror story. Here’s the cliff notes:
🔪Slash public health 50% in a pandemic
🔪Slice public libraries 25%
🔪Gut elections dept
🔪Terminate 1k+ employees.
It's scary, and it's not fiction.
Sarah Weddington, who represented Norma McCorvey in Roe v. Wade, died today in Austin.
I interviewed Weddington in 2003. This passage is even more poignant today.

I do not have the luxury to be silent on this issue. The issue of fighting against voter suppression is up to all of us.
We all should stand up and fight to ensure everyone has access to the ballot box. #txlege#VoterSuppression
