I've been getting messages all night indicating that the #Texas power grid is on the verge of failure.
But by all means Gov. Greg Abbot, prioritize trans hate and library book censorship and setting torture traps across the Rio Grande over things like fixing the grid.

You may have heard that Houston schools plan to convert libraries to disciplinary centers and fire the librarians.
What you may not have heard is that the State of Texas took over the Houston school district and installed its own superintendent.
That's the guy who is closing libraries. This is not something local residents want, and the superintended is not locally accountable,

Gov Abbott is trying to turn Texas into a "Right to Work People to Death" state by overturning local laws that protect workers, like mandatory water breaks. (Austin passed one.) I hope the Biden administration restores these protections.

I really wish I lived in that alternate reality where Rochelle Garza, not Ken Paxton, won the election.

Kinda wondering what #Texas #GOP bigwig #KenPaxton pissed off badly enough to get impeached by them.
Because make no mistake, there is no level of corruption high enough to convince the GOP to do something like this. It takes pissing off somebody with strings to pull and debts to call in. #politics #USPol #TXPol

Sid Miller isn’t creating policy. He is just running for re-election. He knows who votes in Texas statewide elections. He is playing to the far right. It doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. He doesn’t care.

SB1515 has gotten out of committee and passed the #Tx Senate.
"S.B. 1515 would require #Texas public elementary and secondary schools to prominently display the Ten Commandments in each classroom."
