I hate this. The confusion this stirs up, the misinformation it encourages… feels a lot like the start of covid when no one knew what was what. They need to stop pushing for chaos and start instilling confidence and accurate information.

Join us at the Texas Capitol from 10 AM onward! We demand the release of Rep Nicole Collier, the passage of flood relief legislation, and rejection of the redistricting scam. What a shameful second special session from Abbott, Burrows, & Patrick. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... #txlege #letherout

I’ve heard more THC causing psychosis & schizophrenia in the past hour or so than I was expecting. This is all in bad faith, right? They don’t actually think a ban is the best way forward… and it’s a lot of fear-mongering, no?

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
