From our magazine: Ann Richards’ public life was mostly about gender. She was outrageous and courageous on behalf of women everywhere. https://www.texasobserver.org/molly-ivins-on-ann-richards-legacy-archives/#history #Texas #culture #politics

“Gina Hinojosa has the power to scale back Operation Lone Star. She also has the opportunity, along with the other Democratic leadership, to end the enforcement of the 287(g) contracts. We already saw the mayor of Houston come out with the executive order to limit the police collaboration with ICE.” https://www.texasobserver.org/governor-hinojosa-break-up-dps-and-ice/#ICE #immigration #Texas #Democrats #news #police

In the new session, #Texas #Democrats will have the State House but not the Senate. And they aren't even waiting for the new session, much less a trifecta, to start slugging it out. They're rapid firing new bills that would improve life for everyone in their state so they can expose the cruelty and corruption of the #Republicans. Once again, southern Democrats are schooling the old national Democrats who think they're safe in their deep blue coastal districts. Texas Dems know how to fight.

#Texas Democrats are hitting the ground running: this bill which will be taken up in the new legislature looks like a good first step on #Flock. We really need a nationwide ban on ALPRs but this would prohibit sharing data with #ICE and other abuses. No waiting to see whether fascists wanna play ball. Just dare the fools to vote against it.

"Get in the party bus!" "Where are you going?" "We're going to #ElonMusk's house outside #Austin to celebrate his loss of influence in #Texas" "Let me in!" 😂 #Musk #Elon

From Justin Miller: Last summer's move by #Republicans to redistrict #Texas, under marching orders from Pres. Trump, was seen as a politically dicey maneuver at best. In hindsight, they were completely high on their own supply. https://www.texasobserver.org/yep-texas-got-dummymandered/#politics #midterms #Texas #news

NEW: As more parents reject a long-standard shot for babies, hospitals are seeing cases of vitamin K deficiency bleeding — once considered virtually eliminated. Doctors don’t always recognize or know how to treat the life-threatening condition. https://www.propublica.org/article/vitamin-k-shot-texas-lonestar-emergency-room-nicole-malouf?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Hospital #Medicine #Parenting #Health #PublicHealth #Texas #Emergency

NEW: Gov. Greg Abbott spent years trying to make school vouchers a reality in Texas, even pushing to unseat rural Republicans who stood in the way. Some lawmakers believe the effort contributed to his party's historic demise in the midterms. #News #Texas #TX #Education #Congress #TXPol #USPolitics #Schools #Teaching #Parenting

I know I've been serving a schadenfreude banquet all day, but you've got room for dessert, don't you? This is from Oklahoma Democratic State Rep Jacob Rosecrants. Who BTW has pronouns in his bio. #Texas #KenPaxton

The Dems have the governorship, the lieutenant governorship (a very powerful post in #Texas, even more than the governor) and the state House majority. The state Senate remains in #GOP hands. This means Dems can't just reverse all the voter suppression in Texas immediately, but the Republicans won't be able to screw with the results further in 2028. Without the ability to cheat, it will be as Trump said: "You'll never have a Republican elected again."

Don't you wish you'd been there? #Texas #Senate #midterms

Featured story: Just over a year after an ill-advised power grab through redistricting, congressional Republicans failed to flip a single one of the South Texas seats that they redrew for their own purported benefit. https://www.texasobserver.org/yep-texas-got-dummymandered/#Texas #Republicans #TXlege #news #midterms #politics

I don't even know what a railroad commissioner does but this is awesome. Bo French was that guy who got his knickers in a twist that nonwhite students were cheering at a UT football game. He even grosses out other Nazis. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/nov/04/jon-rosenthal-texas-railroad-commissioner #Texas #midterms
