I'm at the Texas Capitol testifying alongside 100s of Texans about Trump's marching orders for the Texas GOP to disenfranchise Black and Brown voters. #txlege
Interviewed @chloe4atx.bsky.social for @kxan.com about her work as a legislative staffer in Texas' Capitol. “I do care deeply about the future of this country. I know that a lot of people in this building care deeply about the future of this country," she told me. Read more:
‘Not going to be scared off’: Transgender Texan shares experience working in state’s legislature
There are a handful of transgender Texans who work in the Capitol. Some say that new restroom rules won’t deter them from work they consider vital to Texas.

More than 7 out of 10 American Jews don't support MAGA & do support Israel. They're not mutually exclusive. That doesn't make us an "enemy" or "disloyal" unless the only measure of loyalty is fealty to Trump. We'll never support MAGA b/c of the dangerous extremism & antisemitism represented here👇
Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽@joshuaeakle.com · 2y agoBannon: "The number one enemy to the people of Israel are American Jews who... do not support MAGA." First Bannon does Hitler salute at CPAC. Now he's making threats against American Jews who do not toe the party line. Wake up, America.
Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!
Our first meeting of the semester is this Thursday at Rio Grande Campus in the Accelerator! #ACCStudentDems
BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration for refusing to issue passports with accurate sex designations for transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people. This action violates the Constitution.
President Corum and I are proud to announce our support for @kendallscudder.bsky.social for TDP Chair. #TXDems #accstudentdems
When Congress and the Presidency become comprised our last resort are the courts. #LGBTQ #TransRights
Lauren McGaughy@lmcgaughy.bsky.social · 2y agoBreaking: Federal judge agrees to temporarily halt Trump order ordering transgender inmates to be housed according to sex at birth and blocking medical treatments for three inmates who sued. Order came from Royce Lambert, a Reagan appointee, and granted due to 8th amendment issues. #LGBTQ #LGBT
As an American pro-Israel Jew, let me repeat it again: Donald Trump is not the king of America, and Bibi Netanyahu is not the king of the Jews.
Trump's proposal for the U.S. to "take over" Gaza, including with the deployment of U.S. troops, is completely detached from reality. In what world is this happening? Not the one we inhabit. Netanyahu praised his "out of the box" thinking, but let's be honest - it's insane.
Last night, Governor Abbott had his State of the State address, during which he made many false claims about our state's current wellness, such as his commitment to Voucher scams or his promise to give massive tax handouts to Texas Billionaires. #txlege #ACCStudentDems

Texas can be so much more but first we need to cast off the dead weight of the Texas GOP who have spent the last 30 years making the working class poorer and lining the pocket's of the rich. Our government programs don't work for most Texans and our state is facing an affordability crisis. #TXLege
John Bucy@bucyfortexas.bsky.social · 2y agoGov. Abbott: “Texas is the blueprint for the future of America.” Unless you want affordable healthcare, fully-funded schools, or equal rights. Business may be booming, but Texans aren’t seeing the benefits. #txlege
Congratulations to the DNC's new chair @kenmartin.bsky.social now let's put in the work to bring back the trifecta.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a day to remember all who were lost to the Holocaust. That primarily consists of the 6 million Jewish lives lost during this time but it also includes 11 million non-jewish victims including Poles, Trans, Gay, and Romani victims.
Today, we commemorate 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We remember the six million lives lost in the Holocaust and recommit to the promise of "never again." That’s why we can’t be silent a week into Trump 2.0 (THREAD 🧵):

State Rep. Gene Wu@genefortexas.bsky.social · 2y agoCongrats Abstain. You did it! You saved Gaza... for commercial development.
Monday is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Here’s Trump’s closest advisor telling us it’s time to forget. Trump’s emboldening of far-right extremists is a threat to Jewish Americans and Jews around the world.
