Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing.
Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.

Pre-parade thread to find out where y'alls posting up on the route to see if we can miraculously connect and put throws in your hand...
It's always such a shit-show 😂
LEWD is 7th, so on the early side. I'll be the ICE agent with the mirrored face shield, blue & red flashing lights 😉
Y'all keep warm!

Happy to share today’s trip to Lafayette was less eventful than 11 days ago!
Got settled in, had gumbo next door, been comfy in my pjs catching up on the world, plotting route for tomorrow. Likely west then north, different than last trip trying to avoid icy roads in N La & NE Tx.

Somehow the theme of this move is get it done on 3 hours of sleep. Just waiting on the movers to arrive! Pack and load today, cleaning and key turn in tomorrow. Down to my last 30 or so hours in New Orleans. 🥹😱

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Friends in Central and North La and NE TX: I would be most grateful for any weather updates you have starting Monday. The plan right now is to leave New Orleans on Tuesday, head to Lafayette for the night (via 90 as I have officially broken up with the Basin bridge). 1/

Minnesota believes in law and order. We believe in peace. And we believe that Trump needs to pull his 3,000 untrained agents out of Minnesota before they kill another American in the street.

Tried heading out to Finn's for the Arsenal-Man Utd match. Got hit with a cold storm and saw ponding on the streets already.
Be careful, y'all. Just cause you can get out don't mean you can get back in.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

ICE has murdered another American. Again.
Don’t let it be normal. Trump’s personal police force is kidnapping children, gassing neighborhoods, terrorizing families, murdering our fellow citizens with impunity. (1/3)

1st sleep in my new place! Today’s drama was: heat needing emergency repair. Shout out to maintenance crew for solving it, it’s going to be in the 20s tonight.
Also excited for Pretty Momma’s 1st sleep in fully enclosed garage in 8.5+ yrs.
After almost 16 hours on 3 hours sleep, night friends. 😴
