Kudos to the organizations who stepped up to fight #HB900 instead of complying with fascism for financial gain.

Hopefully publishers and librarians will remember who was ready to sell them out and take their business elsewhere in the future.

RT @taygoldenstein: Meyerland Area Democrats Club (@MeyerDems) has voted to censure state Rep. Shawn Thierry @ShawnieT146 after her votes for R priorities #SB14, banning transgender health care for minors, and #HB900, restricting school library books. It's club's first censure in 2 decades. #txlege

JUST NOW: The Texas House passed book-banning bill #HB900 that whitewashes history and erases LGBTQIA+ stories in our schools.

This is part of an extreme campaign by state politicians to dictate what current and future generations of Texans can read and think.
