when you make your divorce the whole state’s problem:

Gov. Abbott has signed HB 4 into law, enacting a mid-decade congressional redistricting plan. HB 4 redraws Texas’s congressional districts and is projected to shift up to five additional U.S. House seats toward Republicans—silencing black and brown Texans in the process.

Is the grid fixed? Are schools safer from the threat of gun violence? Has flood relief been prioritized and delivered? Are the issues that Texans care about being discussed this legislative session?

No, but there’s always time and resources to spend on political games. #txlege

It’s almost time! 1 hour to go—see you at 1pm for the Queer Capitol Takeover! ✊🌈 #txlege

🔴 LIVE from the Texas Capitol to fight this redistricting scheme! #txlege

🚨 TOMORROW: Lawmakers will force passage of their racially gerrymandered map while ignoring flood relief and disaster response. We’re filling the Capitol so that they know Texans are watching and we’re not backing down from the fight. Join us: https://t.co/nq3TUjGZbX #txlege 🌟

“I think that says they are expecting that this bill will result in a lawsuit, which is a misuse of taxpayer funds, and also says, you know, that you’re trying to pass something that is not constitutional,” Emily Witt, TFN

A reminder: framing homelessness as a problem of mental illness or addiction has been politically manufactured to divert attention from its *actual* causes—skyrocketing rents, poverty wages, gutted social supports—and to justify the removal of homeless people from public space.

“I wish that this Legislature were working on redistricting fairness rather than gerrymandering. Instead, I'm here to testify against this harmful attempt to redraw congressional districts in the middle of the decade.” -Jerome Wald

🌟 TFN in the news: "It essentially means that administrators and educators have to out LGBTQ students to their parents and families," Witt said. "It puts kids at risk who may not have an accepting home or parents who are ready to have that conversation." https://t.co/elEKuCTNnK

Crazy work

[Kate McGee Balagia @McGeeReports]

New from me: #txlege lawmakers filed dozens of bills that would increase transparency around spending in elections & strengthen penalties for campaign and lobbying violations. None are poised to pass.

Remember when the Texas Governor and the Voucher advocates presented the following IF/THEN proposition?

IF we pass school vouchers, THEN we will provide a historic increase in school funding?

Yeah...me too.

[Texas Freedom Network @TFN]

Many Texans are guided by our faith, and the way we practice our faith is a sacred choice within our families and religious leaders. Placing the Ten Commandments in our schools sends the message that the government, not parents, know what's best for OUR kids.
