The #txlege wants to pass a law forcing the TX State Fair to allow in guns (+ other entities like the Houston Zoo). It passed the Senate and the House Public Safety Committee can vote out their version at any time.

Call your House Rep and say HELL NO on SB1065: capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/...

The Texas House Public Safety Committee heard a bill yesterday that would allow high schoolers to carry handguns, but want to cosplay concern on the floor today after a shooting on a Dallas high school campus. Nothing changes here.

3/ If The Texas GOP Gets What They Want This Session:

LTC holders will be allowed to carry guns ANYWHERE.

HB4201 guts “sensitive spaces” (where guns aren’t allowed), like schools, colleges, hospitals, jails, courtrooms, gov meetings, amusement parks, stadiums, and airports. GUNS EVERYWHERE ✅

Looked at a patch of bluebonnets on the side of the road this morning, smiled, and then got a little teary eyed. I don’t know how to love my state anymore. #txlege

Our building in downtown Houston is without power and I can’t stop thinking about all the apocalyptic shows I’ve watched lately.

Not sure I’ll survive this.

I would like to know who in the Texas Senate extended an invitation to *this* extremist with a PROBATIONARY law license from the TX Bar to be *invited* testimony today at the #txlege in favor of a bill trying to legalize short barreled rifles (despite federal law)? These are your experts?

Brought the girls to this protest in Houston today against the rise of fascism in the US and against dictatorship, oligarchy and the destruction of our Rule of Law.

Let me say it again: a man trusted by the State of Texas with keeping kids safe at school just shot and killed his wife, a school coach.

A red flag law may have helped here. Most Texans want one, but R leaders of the #txlege laugh at us when we bring it up.

So many white pelicans stopping in for breakfast on our little lake in Conroe TX yesterday. #birds #whitepelicans #birding

A horde of white pelicans (and cormorants and bufflehead ducks) on parade! 😁 🦢 #birds #whitepelicans #cormorants #texas #cormorant #bufflehead #ducks #conroetx

Background checks are only required of FFLs. Many sellers online do not fall within that definition.

Ok another fun white pelican, cormorant, and bufflehead duck parade for you this morning. It’s my favorite time of year here - when the temps are finally below 75 and all the birds come to fish. #birds

A lone white pelican just landed on our lake in southeast texas. They are my favorites. 😊 #birds

If this is him, then buckle up to finally learn what we’ve been telling you about armslist and other online gun marketplaces - they don’t require background checks much of the time.

Shout out to my Houston City Councilmember Abbie Kamin for continuing to ask the difficult questions about inefficiency in the city/Mayor’s office.

We want these projects to move forward. No more stalling and re-studying shovel-ready fixes for flooding and roadways. #houston #htx

Hoping it is cold enough this winter to have the white pelicans return to the lake. They’re my faves.
