If you're a TX voter, you NEED to check your address 🧵

Dear Texas:
Get out to vote in the primary in Texas next month, we can make Texas go blue early by getting more Democratic primary voters statewide for the first time!

Even though I'm feeling sad, today is probably the best day for a very long time in terms of elections.
Democrats won a Texas special election in a district Harris lost by nearly 20% by a landslide.

Today, I made historic appointments who will lead key agencies and create a city where everyone can thrive.
I appointed Stanley Richards as Commissioner of DOC. Decades after he served time in our city’s jails, Commissioner Richards will now be the first formerly incarcerated person to lead them.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.
