Visiting Texas is surreal: nonstop hostile news targeting trans people, yet on the ground there’s everyday allyship—apologies, revived queer discounts, solidarity feels, and smiles like crazy. The progressive community feels stronger than it has in decades. #notallbadnews #mytexas #hillcountrynews

Ken Paxton opens tip line to encourage “bathroom bill” enforcement
