I'm old enough to remember 2016, when a lot of millennials got suckered into believing that Hillary Clinton was just as bad as Donald Trump and didn't vote. That's why millennials are chewing Chappell Roan's ass up. They remember how we ended up with Trump the first time.
W/o @VoteAnnJohnson's amendment to #SB14, families of #trans youth would be forced to flee TX to protect their kids & access the life-saving care they rely on: "They love Texas and they love their child. Never before have we asked them to pick one or the other." #Txlege

For anyone who thinks sharing graphic images of unknown victims of mass murder is a “good thing” to shake people of their complacency, please hear me:

You are not a photojournalist.
You have no right to do this to the victims.
Stop.

Rep. Ann Johnson, D-Houston, reads a summary of the findings of the committee. They include Slaton supplying alcohol to the 19-year-old intern, taking photos of her, calling her at night, and having sex with her.
"How many of us would do that with our teenage staff?" #txlege
Texas House members watching stonefaced as Rep @VoteAnnJohnson, a former prosecutor from Houston, lays out the details of how Bryan Slaton abused his staffer. He has "left us with no choice but to take the vote we have to take today" #txlege
