One reason I stand with this sign at the busy Harris County, TX voting place is I don’t want anyone to vote without knowing Republicans are treasonous. Imagine leaving voting booth & finding out afterwards! Once they see me, I know they’ve been informed. #Houston #democracy

The John Cornyn Houston Office Protest will extend it's time for Week 189. We’ll be out 11:30 to 2 on Tuesday, 9/22, at 5300 Memorial Dr. to demand Cornyn not vote to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg just as Merrick Garland was denied during 2016 election 2016. Please share the word.

Makes no sense to defeat Mattress Mac, Fertitta, David Weekly, Ogg & police unions in Harris County, but allow them into power in City of Houston through Whitmire’s Mayoral candidacy. Let’s hope local unions & LGBTQ+ Political Caucus make same progressive/pro-democracy judgement.

Week 311, Cornyn HTX Office Protest Tue., 1/24, 11:30-1,5300 Memorial Dr. Voting matters. But must show up non-conventionally as pre-genocidal words used for trans/elections contested. Rank & file Dems/democracy advocates need a consciousness outside official channels. #Houston

Republicans know the votes are correctly counted in Harris County. But the goal is to attack our freedoms rather than an accurate vote count. #CIA2022 #HarrisCounty #Houston #democracy

A big part of Harris County & Texas Republican Insurrection Agenda is to undermine confidence in Harris County elections. We know count is fair in county. So do Republicans. But when goal is permanent minority rule, you need to undermine faith in our freedoms. #democracy #CIA2022

I went to Capitol today from Houston with sign saying Show Up For Democracy. Democracy is at risk & also there is climate change. Let’s show up for ourselves in great numbers without waiting for politicians & advocacy groups. Let’s show up while we still can. #txlege #democracy

The Food Not Bombs folks are doing good work & the City of Houston should stop ticketing them & drop all the outstanding tickets. #Houston

@BrentSullivan & I represented John Cornyn Houston Office Protest (Tomorrow Week 246) at Texas Southern U. to greet the #BlackVotersMatter bus today. We told @cliff_notes we’d be on the streets when GOP overturns elections. The message was well-received. #Democracy #Houston

@MattGertz To normalize authoritarianism by treating Republicans as serious policy makers rather than insurrectionists.

Trump is coming to HTX Sat. to Toyota Center. I don’t understand allowing open insurrectionist use of taxpayer funded facility. We know protestors will be kettled behind barricades while taxpayers pay bill for police. Why are we paying for our own demise? #Houston #Democracy
