From registering to vote to using the bathroom, Republicans want you to carry your birth certificate on you at all times to do damn near anything in Texas.
It’s not about protecting you and your rights, it’s about them controlling your freedom. #txlege

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that
Indiana's gender affirming care ban, including an aiding and abetting provision, is likely constitutional.
It cites Dobbs 21 times.
The ruling was a divided 2-1 ruling, with the two judges being a Bush and Trump appointee.
NEWS: A divided Seventh Circuit panel ruled 2-1 on Wednesday that Indiana's ban on gender-affirming medical care for minors, as well as its "aiding or abetting" provider provision, are likely constitutional.

Drag performers could be sued by children they perform in front of under a new bill filed in Texas. The bill would allow lawsuits to be filed up to 10 years after the performance - even if the child was brought there by their parents. #txlege

Another example, HB403 by Swanson would house inmates based on the gender on their original birth certificate even if it conflicts with the “inmate’s sex organs as determined during the intake screening required under the Prison Rape Elimination Act National Standards” #txlege

The anti-lgbt bills are coming in hot. I’ll put a summary together later today but I want to call out how invasive these bills are HB1123 from Lopez requires genetic testing of child athletes for competition in K- 12 sports. That is sick. #txlege
Additional attacks on DEI programs, book bans, restrictions on social media, adding life begins at conception to public school curriculum, school vouchers, voter ID, anti-BDS provisions, definitions of “sex”, ban on updating gender on identity documents, and lots more #txlege

The LGBTQ+ community is not the reason Democrats lost elections on Tuesday. We expect better from our leadership. The Texas Stonewall Caucus released this statement earlier today on anti-trans comments by @texasdemocrats Chair Hinojosa 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

The idea that Trump won and therefore we should roll over to all of his worst impulses and not resist anything that I am seeing among some Dems is exactly how Germany got to camps and how fascists around the world rise to power.
It’s surreal to see.

Hey DC consultants, tacking to the middle doesn't work in TX. Allred paid dearly for this tactic. Stop doing it.
In the Texas Senate race, Cruz is running ahead of his 2018 margin in just about all the large counties. Allred would have to make up a lot of ground on Election Day #txsen
