A policy this harmful can’t be fixed in the next 2 and 1/2 hours -- it needs public input, which y’all ignored. Passing this bill would be irresponsible and shows who this House really serves — clearly not the people who elected you. #txlege #SB2972

The fact that the House is about to debate and vote on a bill that curtails free speech on college campuses — without even giving it a public hearing in the Higher Ed Committee — is giving ✨authoritarian✨ #txlege #SB2972

Camaraderie in the wee hours after an evening of testifying against SB 37 & in favor of entrusting educators to make data-based decisions about higher ed. NO to state overreach! 🚫 The bill was left pending. Please continue to contact House Higher Ed Committee members! 📲📲📲

TEXANS — pay attention. Sen. Creighton is eyeing a run for Lieutenant Governor after wasting his time in the lege dodging real issues and pushing damaging ideological attacks on K–12 and higher ed. We can’t afford more self-serving, extremist leadership wrecking our state

Free speech is under attack in TX. The Texas Freedom to Boycott Act (HB 4177) would repeal laws that punish businesses for supporting Palestine, divesting from fossil fuels, or cutting ties with gun makers. Protect our First Amendment rights—take action:

‼️SB 37: A bill that seeks to over-regulate & micromanage public universities. it attacks faculty’s role in contributing to decisions about curriculum & hiring. It threatens academic freedom & the breadth and quality of academic offerings. Not the right direction for higher ed‼️

3 young Muslim Afghan girls were brutally attacked in an Islamophobic incident in HISD— 1 hospitalized for 4 days. Meanwhile, schools waste time and resources punishing our students for speaking up for Palestine. It’s telling that real threats like Islamophobia aren’t a priority

"It is absolutely unacceptable for any student to be allegedly violently assaulted and then abandoned" @CAIRHouston calls for @HoustonISD to allow 3 Afghan students to transfer schools after more than 20 students allegedly attacked them at @PaulRevereMS. https://t.co/dURTxAS1Da

BREAKING: Trump’s new minted Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who promised Congress he had his drinking “under control” during his confirmation is already taking swigs of bourbon at a NATO presser earlier this week. The guy is an alcoholic & shouldn’t be leading our military!

I had the honor of taking my oath of office to represent House District 92 for the second time on a historic Qur’an. This sacred text inspires me to work across the aisle to make Texas better.  As the 89th Legislative Session starts, I am committed to advocating for all.

My faith teaches me to love followers of all religions. I too follow the words of Jesus. He is mentioned 25 times in the Quran as a Prophet of God. It is due to those teachings and my faith that I’m compassionate toward the hateful and ignorant. Peace and blessings to you.

To all lobbyists, elected officials, and staffers: Please make a point to support your Muslim representatives, as well as Muslim and Arab constituents. Like other marginalized communities, we are facing the brunt of bad-faith policymaking. Your solidarity matters

Not only is he openly promoting bigotry and Islamophobia, but he's also displaying bitterness after losing his seat to Rep. Bhojani. Perhaps he should focus on reflecting on why voters rejected him instead of spreading misinformation and hate #txlege

Like what are we supposed to say then? 😭 They’ll never admit they’re trying to silence students, staff, and faculty. They’ll just prohibit some of the most frequently used english words to discuss social topics. @UTAustin @JCHartzell Care to explain?

Jay said the university’s focus has been on giving students resources to make informed decisions about their future. I do wonder what current UT students have to say about this?

According to Creighton, what CEOs want is more important than what students need to succeed and feel comfortable.
