#Repost @angelarye @download.ins --- Last week, the Texas Senate passed legislation ending requirements for public schools to educate students about racism and injustices including the civil rights movement, Cesar Chavez, MLK, and other important historical teachings. Oh…and they no longer have to say the KKK was “morally wrong”. When does the whitelash end? Because nowwwww we are back at the WHITEWASH. We will never stand for erasure for your comfort, son!!! ✊🏾💞 #keepaneyeonthis #texassenate #educateouryouth (at Richmond, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRpqvETFtM2/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am proud to support my friend of 20 years, State Representative Ana Hernandez, for Texas Senate District 6. Her work ethic, passion for public service, legal training and sincere heart make her the ideal candidate for our district. @anahdztx I’m ready to step in and get to work just like we did in 2005. #letsdoit #SD6 #TXLege #TexasSenate (at Houston, Texas)

Texas Gov. #GregAbbott signed the #SandraBlandAct into law Thursday, in what was supposed to be a decisive move to address the issues that led to Bland’s death. As the #TexasTribune notes, the act obligates county jails to channel individuals with #mentalhealth and substance abuse issues toward treatment, and to make it easier for those with #mentalillness or #disability to get bond. The law, which goes into effect Sept. 1, will also require independent law-enforcement agencies to investigate jail deaths, and require that officers receive de-escalation training. However, the act was notoriously stripped of key provisions that specifically addressed police encounters. Provisions so crucial given that Bland, a black woman, somehow wound up dead in a county jail after being arrested over what was meant to be a routine traffic stop. Bland, 28, had just moved from #Chicago to start a new job in Texas when state Trooper #BrianEncinia pulled her over in #WallerCounty, #Texas, for failing to signal. The encounter quickly escalated when Bland refused to put out her cigarette. Video footage of the encounter showed that Encinia then ordered her out of her vehicle. Bland again refused, at which point Encinia threatened to “yank” her out of her car, and ultimately threatened to “light [her] up” while pointing his Taser at her. In the end, Bland was arrested and locked up. Three days after her arrest, she was found dead in her jail cell, with her death ruled a suicide. The #TexasSenate version of the bill by state Sen. #JohnWhitmire of #Houston removed provisions that would have required additional proof for stopping and searching vehicles and prevented arrests over offenses that could be handled by a fine. As the Tribune puts it, the bill in that moment mostly became a mental-health bill, which easily made its way through the Senate and the House of Representatives, without opposition. Still, lawmakers insist that the law is a good first step. Democratic state Rep. #GranetColeman of Houston, who introduced the original, eventually gutted, bill, wrote in a statement after Abbott signed it, saying that the law increases public safety. #Speakin4Myself

Wtf?! Seriously, wtf!!? Wake up people!! #Repost @peopleforprogressworldwide ・・・ The Texas Senate passed a controversial bill on Tuesday that critics argue would empower doctors to lie to pregnant women. Senate Bill 25, which will now be sent to the Texas House, prevents parents from suing their medical provider if their baby is born with disabilities, even if that doctor discovered the condition during routine prenatal testing and failed to inform the parents. The architects of the so-called “wrongful-birth” bill have argued it would protect children with disabilities and prevent doctors from facing unnecessary lawsuits. “It is unacceptable that doctors can be penalized for embracing the sanctity of life,” Senator Brandon Creighton (R-TX) said in a press release when he introduced the legislation last fall. But reproductive rights advocates have been relentless in their criticism of the measure, arguing that it would effectively make it lawful for a care provider who is opposed to abortion to avoid prenatal testing, downplay test results or even lie to patients about results if they believe those patients might consider terminating a pregnancy. “SB 25 would allow doctors to lie to their patients,” Heather Busby, executive director at NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, the reproductive healthcare advocacy group, told The Huffington Post earlier this month. “[It] is another thinly veiled attempt to prevent Texans from accessing their constitutional right to abortion,” Busby reiterated Tuesday. Sen. Creighton has argued that the bill does not let doctors off the hook for negligent behavior, and emphasized that patients can still bring malpractice suits against care providers. He has said reporters and reproductive rights advocates have mischaracterized the nature of the bill, and derided an earlier HuffPost article on the measure as “fake news.” The final Senate vote on Tuesday split 21-9, largely along party lines. During an earlier period of debate on the Senate floor, Senator Jose Rodriguez (D-TX) expressed concern that the bill was simply a means of chipping away at women’s rights, The Houston Chronicle reports. #texas #pregnancy #pregnantwomen #senate #texassenate

400% increase on taxes seems a bit excessive for any business. My concern is not about the craft (although I enjoy it responsibly), my concern is about the people who make the craft.
