    Huge cheers for #AbolishICE at #HOUSTONPRIDE! LGBTQ people, including those who live in fear of deportation, deserve full #equality. #FamiliesBelongTogether #nobabyjails

    When @NancyPelosi stood in her high heels for 8 hrs speaking up for Dreamers, she spoke for us. Her commitment to the most vulnerable is more than a talking point-it’s heartfelt and deeply rooted in our faith. She believes in diversity and practices inclusion. I #StandWithNancy

    My special guests for the State of the Union tonight are Sunny Bryant and her family. Sunny Bryant is an activist for transgender children like herself. At only 8 years old, Sunny is standing up against the politically-charged attacks on Texas' trans youth by Gov. Greg Abbott.

    Texans deserve to know how a public institution can censor an ad it doesn’t like. Seems like state-sponsored censorship, no?

    Instead of focusing on the task of keeping Texans safe from the coronavirus pandemic, it appears Abbott and his advisors are focusing their time and energy on censoring their political opponents. dallasnews.com/news/politics/…

    The feds want a baby jail in Houston. Now is the time to gather together to stop this baby jail before a single child seeking refuge is locked up in our city. No law requires this. Humanity demands compassion. #EndFamilySeparation #NoBabyJails
