You’re the governor (for now). Call a special session, take real action, and save lives.
The findings in the Texas House report are beyond disturbing & raise serious concerns about the response that day. With multiple investigations still ongoing, we'll work w/ the #txlege to implement changes to improve public & school safety & mental health assessment & treatment.

Stop making @Sen_JoeManchin look like a victim. Joe Manchin is not a victim. Millions of women have been robbed of their fundamental rights. They are the victims today and for the foreseeable future. Joe Manchin is either complicit or more naive than anyone ever knew.
West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, a key member of the Democratic Party’s moderate bloc, expressed disappointment at the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday morning.

Joe Manchin’s posts are all about @Sen_JoeManchin. Never about the millions of women he’s complicit in oppressing.

Something that's hard to convey to people who don't walk in their shoes: there are a lot of women walking around today who aren't just sad. They're frightened. They're terrified.
