Protesters gathered outside Houston City Hall Saturday evening to protest the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s by ICE agents this week.

Leaders urged the crowd to return to City Hall on Tuesday and sign up for the public comment portion of the scheduled City Council meeting. https://t.co/oFEt1hel2B

We’ve been watching the spike in violence and hate against Asian +Asian American folks over the past year. We’re going to go deep on this topic on next week’s episode—but in the meantime, here's the people we're reading + listening to: (1/🧵) 👇🏾

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

93.2% of Texans aren’t fully vaccinated.

The state just endured one disaster worsened by selfishness + denial of basic science, and now conditions are being set for another.

Repealing the mask mandate now endangers so many people, especially essential workers & the vulnerable.

I applaud Dr. Rachel Levine, who today made history as the first openly transgender American to bravely sit for Senate confirmation. She will fight to ensure every person can access health care that meets their needs.

BREAKING: The #EqualityAct has passed the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. We are one step closer to ensuring that every person in America is treated equally under the law.

2011 FERC report with recommendations for Texas to winterize its energy system -- recommendations that were ignored -- also noted that similar recommendations had been made back in 1989, and ignored then too https://t.co/Zru7LqTQLG

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

We hit $3.2 MILLION in Texas relief support last night!

One of the places it’s going is the Houston Food Bank. I’m visiting Reps. @JacksonLeeTX18 & @LaCongresista with volunteers to pack meals.

The bank REALLY needs helping hands.

Can you join a shift? https://t.co/93wBfD4YdI

The catastrophe wrought by the Texas winter storm was shared by millions left shivering in their homes.

But the suffering wasn’t equally spread. Many of us didn’t have to worry about how we’d afford to keep the lights on at home after power was restored: https://t.co/rdUcjvoXft

Do help if you can.
Don't be like Ted Cruz.

[Texas Democratic Party @texasdemocrats]

Ted Cruz should be convincing Greg Abbott to host a productive press conference.
