#HB20 is being voted on in the TX House. This is a dangerous bill that would deputize unqualified vigilantes to target anyone they perceive to be a migrant to potentially deter or arrest them. No one will be safe from these lawless patrols. #txlege

WATCH: Harris County Attorney @CDMenefee deftly connects the dots between a secret recording uncovered in 2019 and today's effort to pass a broad preemption bill (HB 2127) designed to dilute the will of millions of Houstonians #HB2127 #txlege

As SB14 was presented on the floor, protesters made their grievances known! Immediately the Speaker called for the gallery to be cleared silencing their voices. Troopers restrained those opposed to the bill & led them away with their hands behind their back. #txlege #TransRights

State takeover and attacks on our democracy has many different faces this legislative session in Texas. It's not just explicit voter suppression bills. It's ejecting advocates from the gallery and cutting off testimony when bills are widely unpopular. #txlege

The Texas Triangle , between Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, contains 75% of Texans. Why? What's special about that triangle?

Whether you’re a newcomer or a veteran #txlege aficionado, debate during @TexasHouse budget day (and night) looks a little different from the hundreds of other bills that come before the chamber. #txbudget We break down everything you need to know: bit.ly/3GnGf0a

Why have 32 detainees — including Jacoby Pillow — died within a 14-month period at the Harris County Jail (TX)?! We NEED the Department of Justice to investigate this significant trend in deaths. How many more inmates have to tragically lose their lives before this is addressed?!
