BREAKING: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has signed the "Death Star" bill, which will decimate local control.
Local governments will no longer be able to meaningfully pass bills on issues like housing, worker protections, public health, and more.
The state will now override local laws.

21 loved ones were taken from us in Uvalde.
21 weeks later and Greg Abbott still refuses to do a single thing to prevent another massacre like it.
21 days until we vote him out and take the commonsense steps necessary to keep our kids alive.

I came across some disturbing Texas history while researching my latest story.
In 1956, after a judge ordered Mansfield schools to integrate, a white mob—backed by local police and city officials—blocked three Black students from attending and hung each of them in effigy. 1/

Remembering Elizabeth Cotten, gone 35 years today. Here she is performing “Washington Blues,” a song she wrote in January 1965 at the age of 72.

A young life claimed by gun violence here in Denton, TX. I don't want that to overshadow who she was and how she cared for others, but given the epidemic of gun violence in our country it is hard to ignore the fact.
From the article: "Her organs were donated to help 70 people awaiting organ transplants, and her obituary encouraged others to sign up as organ donors." donatelifetexas.org/register…

The moment to stop Uvalde was right after Sandy Hook. After Santa Fe High. After El Paso.
Instead, Abbott made it easier to carry guns in public.
The moment to stop the next slaughter is right now.

Denton, I'll keep it 100% with you: Turnout in this election has been *VERY LOW*.
But there's three days to fix that. If you have yet to vote, I'm asking you to make it a priority. Please speak with your friends & fam about how crucial this election is.
Polls open today til 5pm

On this day in 1903, after a failed lynching of a Black man, white mobs engaged in widespread racial terrorism directed at the Black community, forcing Black residents in Whitesboro, TX to flee. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…
