#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.

Texas bill would restrict Flock cameras, prohibit sharing license plate data with federal agencies

House Bill 763, filed by Rep. Mary González, would impose statewide restrictions on automated license plate readers like Flock cameras in Texas, limiting their use to specific purposes.

Did You Vote Provisionally? Let Us Know! · Mobilize

Did you cast a provisional ballot (sometimes called a backup ballot) on Election Day? **We want to hear from you!** Some Texas voters experienced issues with their registration or identification at the polls, including voters who may have been affected by errors involving the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). **If you voted provisionally, had trouble finding your registration, or weren't able to vote because of a registration issue, fill out this form to connect with MOVE Texas.** We'r

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
Texas’ School Voucher Program Could Be “Unrecognizable, If Not Extinct,” Says Democratic Lawmaker

Texas’ School Voucher Program Could Be “Unrecognizable, If Not Extinct,” Says Democratic Lawmaker

Democrats won back the Texas House for the first time in 24 years. Gov. Greg Abbott’s bullishness on vouchers turned off some Republican voters in rural communities that have historically been strongholds for his party, politicians said.

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."

Our Pockets, Our Power, Our Say: Texans Demand a Statewide Data Center Moratorium · Mobilize

Big Tech is taking what it wants from Texas, and our communities are paying for it. Billionaires and the politicians doing their bidding are draining our water, straining our power grid, and burning diesel next door — all so they can build data centers that line their pockets and prop up an economic boom our neighbors, our rising bills, and our own pockets never see. And the costs aren't just financial. Their backup generators burn diesel and gas around the clock, causing asthma, bronchitis, a

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

These stalwarts have been protesting Trump's border wall at Big Bend in Texas for months. Here they are singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas" about rejecting the wall. In these protests, many were blue voters outraged at the cruel treatment of immigrants, but even MAGAs joined in. Turns out when Trump screws with beloved natural landmarks even #MAGA gets angry. https://www.instagram.com/p/DfVeqvdtftd/ #Trump #Texas #midterms
