Come November, remember that @GovAbbott and @DanPatrick would rather fan the flames of cultural wars than actually do something to unburden Texas homeowners.


Rita, Ike, Harvey et al effed up my hometown. These tropical bastards can be merciless. Hoping for the safety and resilience of all those in Ida’s path.

Sad but not surprised that some of SA’s leading citizens & companies have enabled @GregAbbott_TX in his #terrorontexas with 6-figure contribution$ — including one notable proponent of public education.


What the actual f? When the going gets tough, the spineless go low. I mean low. Realllllly low. #VoteHimOut

Reprehensible.

If they aren’t Republican primary voters they don’t count. #txlege

Reprehensible.



And now antibody treatment, too, despite a lack of symptoms. Is he actually (gasp) scared?

Per @NBCNews: “@GovAbbott has told people he received a third booster dose of the vaccine, two sources told NBC News. Abbott’s office did not respond to a request for comment about a potential booster shot" apple.news/AldDzQ6UCSOy8k… #txlege



Note the maker of my at-home COVID test. #isntitironic #negativethankfully

COVID in my kid’s class. They’ve known since yesterday. Any warnings? Nope. Masks required? Nope. Just picked him up and noticed about a third of the kids weren’t masked up. Way to practice safety and teach responsibility, @GreatHeartsTX

BREAKING: An appeals court has held up San Antonio's mask mandate for public schools, ruling against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott #txlege


I would never imagine @SpeakerStraus trying to “arrest” his #txlege colleagues. Yet here we are, thanks to @DadePhelan #beaumontisbetterthanthis


Yep, nothing says “democracy” like trying to arrest your political opponents. #txlege

Our temporary restraining order against the Governor was granted, paving the way for decisions guided by public health professionals. As such, our local health authority has issued a directive requiring masks inside all public K-12 schools in Bexar County.


“The governor has shown a callous disregard for life and safety in defiance of clear medical guidance and is risking the safety of our children and the recovery of our economy.” Preach, @Ron_Nirenberg
