Citizens speaking at Texas Senate Redistricting Committee hearing (Sunday Aug 18th) were 43 to 1 opposed to new congressional maps. Not even this staunch conservative lawyer and GOP party activist was in favor. #TxLege:

Texas school voucher applications are very different from racial make-up of Texas public schools. While schools are 54% hispanic, white families are far largest group applying. This may reignite 70 yr old charges that vouchers are just a re-segregationist tool. 🧵 #TxLege #TxEd

Years ago we created our logo based on the Apollo 8 “Earthrise” photo. Because it’s the moment when men from Houston changed the way humanity sees itself & our delicate planetary spaceship. Now Artemis has brought this perspective back for new generations. Let’s not lose it again

“They are specifically deciding to splinter the communities of common interest, as well as just blatantly say, we are going to dilute minority voices.” Although not one of the now targeted Texas congressman, Jasmine Crocket speaks out on Texas history of redistricting. #txlege

“I rise today to call attention to a robbery being planned by a felon.” -@RepSylviaGarcia- Houston congresswoman being targeted by President Trump’s push to re-gerrymander Texas congressional districts mid-decade, offers scathing attack on GOP “power-grab.”

‘When Trump called Georgia Republicans and said, "I just need you to find me 11,000 votes." They said, "No." …But when he called Texas Republicans and said, "I need you to steal me 5 seats," they said, “Does July work for you?”’ State Rep Ann Johnson (D-Houston) drops mic on Texas GOP #TxLege 🎤

Democratic congressmen and candidates call Gov Abbott’s call to redraw congressional boundaries mid-decade a “brazen racist power grab,” intended only to serve President Trump’s interests. Four districts are being targeted statewide, but three are in Houston. #TxLege

“How do you look a parent in the eye and tell them you've sacrificed their child's life for Big Oil's bottom line?” Texas State Rep James Talarico on renewed threat to US families from a new conflict over oil in Venezuela.

That songs not the same since hearing it as a Christmas Carol yesterday.

ICYMI, the Trump administration wants to rescind a determination that held Utah to a higher standard for ozone pollution along the Wasatch Front. Environmentalists say it doesn’t solve the problem of air pollution here: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah

Even Fox News admits Ken Paxton is an "extremely flawed candidate" and "the worst is yet to come." If even their own cheerleaders see how utterly compromised their lineup is, it must be bad. But please, tell us more about how they are the party of law and order.

Pubic trust in politics has collapsed... because people aren't stupid. We can see the system doesn't work for us. It serves a tiny super-rich elite. Rebuilding that trust starts with taxing the super-rich fairly & kicking big money out of politics: taxjustice.uk/blog/how-to-...
