District 146 (southwest Houston) is today represented in the Texas House by Rep. Lauren Ashely Simmons, a strong progressive who champions labor, civil rights, LGBTQ+ causes.
I think Rep. Al Edwards would be proud.

Freshman Rep. Lauren Ashley Simmons hit the ground running – founding the first-ever Texas Labor Caucus and leading a bipartisan fight for working Texans. She's proof that when we organize, we win. #txlege

Never forget the language in one of the Brown v Board decisions, "With all deliberate speed," and how it was handled. It sums up how the courts really deal with social and racial justice here.

Today @genderlib.com and activist volunteers took HRT in front of the Supreme Court and then occupied the street in front of the building.
This was in defiance and dissent against Skrmetti, a demonic SCOTUS ruling that will kill so, so many trans people.
Please do not avert your eyes.

I will leave you with this clip from CJ the X, a YouTuber who interviewed me last year. They talk about how they found their style, which is legible if you expand your visual vocabulary. And if you don't get it, that's fine. It's for them and their group — not you.

Ed Tech is a Trojan horse for tech elite capture of public resources. Every time.
Twenty years in education and I have seen so many things that were going to "save teachers time" and then it got weaponized into "if you don't use this, you're ruining your students' future" and usually when that mindless zealousness comes around it's less than a year for that tech to collapse.

If your critique of an action, effort, or movement to protect more people boils down to, “But I want to protect what I (or even other people) already secured for myself,” don’t be surprised if we part ways.

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans.
Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect.
I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

Today's Skrmetti opinion is devastating to transgender children and families who live in states with cruel laws barring gender affirming care. But it is very important to recognize this opinion does not give private entities, legislatures, or the President carte blanche to discriminate! 1/x

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share.
These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.
