Been tweeting RESOURCES threads for different Texas cities w/ links for those who need assistance or want to donate. They’ve been made better by folks adding their own resources in the threads. (Austin, SA, Houston, DFW, RGV, etc)

What other TX cities would you like us to list?
These are great suggestions, we are on it! And keep em coming.
OK, just posted San Angelo, College Station/Bryan, Temple, Corpus Christi, Abilene, Ballinger, Brownwood, Coleman and Eastland. More on the way!

Texans are suffering without power because those in power have failed us. As with Covid, a natural disaster has become far deadlier due to the inaction & ineptitude of Abbott and Texas’ Republican leadership. This didn’t have to happen and doesn’t have to continue. 1/4
While they focused on bathroom bills, “show me your papers” legislation and fighting with sports teams over the Star Spangled Banner, 30 million Texans were left vulnerable to uncontrolled Covid spread, a bungled vaccine rollout and now this “rolling” power blackout. 2/4
If you can’t do your most important job - protecting the lives of those you were sworn to serve - then get out of the way and give the power and resources to local leaders who are fighting with all they’ve got to get past your mess and save the people in their communities. 3/4

You know what doesn’t “sell well” @GregAbbott_TX?

The fact that 36,000 Texans have died from Covid.

Your have undermined public health and local leadership at every turn, and now too many of our family, friends and neighbors are dead because of it. 1/8
If you’d followed the science instead of the polling from the start, we could have contained Covid, saved lives and let everyone get back to work. More than 4 million unemployment claims and too many businesses sidelined because you couldn’t do the right thing. 2/8
Also not selling so well: you’ve abandoned rural Texans. 21 hospitals have closed in rural counties since 2010, and now more than a million Texans might lose phone & internet service because you cut subsidies for those providers. In the middle of a pandemic. 3/8

We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to save and strengthen American democracy. It’s critical that the House and Senate pass the For The People Act so that all Americans have equal access to the ballot. 1/6 usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
It would end partisan gerrymandering and the system by which members of Congress choose their voters by creating independent commissions to draw our congressional districts. 2/6
It would end felon disenfranchisement throughout America, restoring a civic voice to millions, and offering a second chance to returning citizens. 3/6

Don’t let him off the hook. Don’t let him make this about “Hollywood” — this is about Ted Cruz aiding and abetting an insurrection that killed 5 people including a cop and very nearly ended in the murders of members of Congress and the Vice President.
Why does he keep this fight going with Seth Rogen even though he’s getting destroyed at every turn? Because he’s guilty of sedition. He’s hoping distraction & time diminish the urgency of accountability. Don’t let him change the channel or the subject, it is sedition every time.
Keep the pressure up. The Houston Chronicle, El Paso Times and San Antonio Express News have all called on him to resign. Joe Manchin, so hidebound by Senate tradition that he won’t consider ending the filibuster, says he’s open to expelling Cruz!
