Lawrence Nixon led the successful fight against all-white voting laws in Texas (1923-1944). His story has never been more relevant. Join Will Guzmán & me for as we discuss one of the great voting rights champions of American history at 11am CST today. Hope to see you soon. — PolitiTweet.org

John, you betray your constituents... you betray the courageous women and men of the civil rights movement who successfully fought for the first Voting Rights Act... and you betray our very democracy when you perpetuate suppression & intimidation in Texas elections. — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
Texas has seen more than 750 polling place closures in the last 8 years — far more than any other state — and those closures have been concentrated in the fastest growing Black and Latino neighborhoods. https://t.co/i7SrxE4eRR — PolitiTweet.org

And here’s something those of us who live in Texas know: while Abbott can’t keep the lights on or the water running, he’s damn effective at keeping people from voting (one ballot drop off location per county in the midst of a pandemic! Voters at TSU waited up to 6 hours to vote.) — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
It may have escaped your attention, but a three-judge federal panel described TX Congressional districts as a “racial gerrymander.” Meaning: Black & Latino Texans were drawn out of districts to diminish the impact of their vote. Makes you think you didn’t want them to vote! — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
You might have missed that it is harder to vote in Texas than any other state. It’s not about total votes cast (btw we’re still 46th), it’s about which voters are targeted for discrimination. Young people, poor people, people of color. https://t.co/yqHO9N6Zt8 — PolitiTweet.org

But it won’t happen if Senate Democrats fold in the face of Republican obstruction. Reform the filibuster and allow for a majority vote. If Senate Dems fail, we lose this last best chance at democracy and they will soon find themselves in the minority. 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
With the enfranchisement of tens of millions who are no longer left out of our democracy, everyone can be at the table when decisions are made. And that allows America to make progress on the biggest issues before us, like jobs, justice, climate, healthcare and immigration. 4/5 — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
It picks up where the 1965 Voting Rights Act left off, eliminating gerrymandering, reducing the influence of dark money, mandating automatic voter registration & early voting, restoring voting rights to returning citizens and making it harder to delete voters from the rolls. 3/5 — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
The only way we get real democracy in Texas, where more than 7 million eligible voters didn’t vote in 2020, is for the Senate to pass this & for President Biden to sign it. (It will also help the 42 other states where more than 250 voter suppression bills are pending.) 2/5 — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
This voting rights bill is critical for America’s democracy, but nowhere will it do more good than Texas. Through racial gerrymander, voter ID and hundreds of polling place closures we’ve become the most voter suppressed state in the country. 1/5 https://t.co/8oL8SCBlY5 — PolitiTweet.org

Abbott might have surrendered, but we don’t have to. Join us as we go door to door (masked and socially distanced) to register Texans for the covid vaccine this weekend. Vaccine canvasses taking place in 18 different cities: https://t.co/YVL7RWH3ME — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
A death warrant for Texans. Add them to the 44,000+ killed as he failed to confront the pandemic & botched the vaccine rollout. And those who froze to death because he cares more about energy companies’ profits than keeping Texans alive. Abbott is killing the people of Texas. — PolitiTweet.org

Met with folks in Del Rio who resorted to filling buckets from the San Felipe creek to use for bathing & household needs when they lost power & water for days. Talked about the record cold & snowfall, & the failure of government to plan for extreme weather and climate change. https://t.co/3fRPUm6xyf — PolitiTweet.org
Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke
Met with a family in Eagle Pass who lost power for 4 days & still don’t have water because of broken pipes. There aren’t enough plumbers and plumbing supplies to go around. They would stay with another family, but with their grandfather so ill, its not an option. https://t.co/qGLKbvJpNF — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday energy execs & regulators testified at the Capitol. I wish they’d also heard from Nicale Spencer whose 84-year-old grandmother Mary died of hypothermia in her home. Or Maria Pineda whose 11-year-old son Cristian froze to death in his bed. https://t.co/bh0r7P9XQB — PolitiTweet.org

I met Valentin this morning while grabbing a coffee at Taco P in Laredo. He lost his job during the pandemic and then lost his home. He’s staying with friends now in El Cenizo where they also lost power and water. He told me he slept in his car for 5 days. https://t.co/ZMFujar72z — PolitiTweet.org

Happy to be back in Roma. Learned from listening to residents that, though they lost water and power for days, the city and local food pantry came through for them. Thanks to everyone who stepped up and helped out in this beautiful city. https://t.co/dDYvrvxakI — PolitiTweet.org
