Finally, some sanity:
The five year prison sentence that a black Texas woman received for trying to vote on parole - after officials told her she could - has been reversed. (On the same day a white Republican got a fine for intentionally voting nine (9) times.)

The Fifth Circuit upheld a block on Texas’ immigration and deportation law.
S.B. 4 would allow local police to make arrests based on immigration status and allow state officers to deport people.
The law creates deep fear among immigrants and their loved ones.

We refuse to let state lawmakers turn public schools into Sunday schools.
Texas politicians are trying to impose state-sponsored religion on young Texans by forcing a Christian translation of the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom.

The Supreme Court got it wrong. The Skrmetti decision turns its back on the very people it should protect — by ripping away health care from transgender youth who deserve care, respect, and the chance to thrive.
Trans Texans are our neighbors, classmates, coworkers, and loved ones.

I have a weird personal history w/ anti-vaxxers from when I was at ACLUTX, 2000-2007. I first met them when I was assigned to negotiate Texas' post-9/11 homeland security legislation, and one big item was a bill on bioterrorism prevention. Bf that, I truly didn't know anti-vaxxers existed. (short 🧵)
“If you believe in bodily autonomy you have to accept vaccine deniers.”
No, I don’t.

Ran the ACLUTX police accountability project 7 yrs, TX Innocence Project policy director for 8ish, and a passel of other stuff besides, so I agree that's the right approach. It's not either or, it's both, and more.
