"aclutx: #Texas lawmakers’ attempt to ban drag performances is unconstitutional from start to finish.

We’re celebrating this win alongside our plaintiffs and partners:

“As a lifelong Texan, I’m sick of this state trying to censor art and stoke hatred..."

I got deep in the weeds on the bioterrorism topic, and was appointed as an ACLUTX rep on a governor's bioterrorism prevention task force. At the end of the day, Texas passed a statute with many more protections than any other state (in part bc we were the last state to have a session after 9/11).

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 🧵)

No, I don’t.

This is despicable.
Samuel isn't the only person at Fort Bliss' detention center that is experiencing this type of cruelty. The excessive force that we have documented violates common standards of dignity and is plainly illegal under federal law — and violates ICE's own detention standards.

This is despicable.

Earlier this month, we sent a letter describing the inhumane treatment at the immigrant detention center at Fort Bliss and demanding ICE to shut it down.

Logic doesn't even pass basic scrutiny. If gender change court orders are invalid due to these agencies being non-parties, then legal name changes would be invalid in the state of Texas as well. There's so many angles to attack these issues from, but I see nothing from ACLUTX or anyone else. Why?
