Our response to Kissel: TX colleges & universities do not need to be micromanaged. We have some of the best universities in the world. Our adult students are bright, inquisitive & capable of making up their own minds. There is no need for SB 37! #TxLege mindingthecampus.org/2025/05…

No one knows Texas like we do, the people who work hard, raise families, & build our communities.
Our leaders tell one story about Texas, while everyday Texans live another.
This is the State of the People.

This FRIDAY The SBOE will take a final vote on Bible-infused English curriculum materials in an attempt to turn our public schools into Bible schools.
We remain committed to protecting religious freedom and ensuring that public education serves ALL students.

🚨Federal Judge Holds that Punishing the Speech of Palestinian Activists is Unconstitutional 🚨
We filed a suit against @GregAbbott_TX's signing of Executive Order GA-44 in May. The court held that government rules, generally forbidding students from criticizing Israel are unconstitutional!
This is a major win for anti-genocide protestors across the country!
ACLU of Texas retweeted
A win in the courts! For the first time, a federal court has confirmed what Palestine Legal & partners have long asserted: applying the distorted IHRA definition of antisemitism to student speech at public unis is unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination: cair.com/press_releases/brea…

BREAKING: The AP just called the 2024 presidential election for Donald Trump.
We’re clear-eyed about the chaos and destruction a second Trump administration will cause to our nation.
That’s why we’re done with handwringing, admiring the problem, or waiting anxiously to see which unlawful action President-elect Trump will take on Day One. We are ready to take action the minute Trump takes the oath of office.

The elected offices up and down our ballot really, really matter — especially in Texas.

Alongside @ACLUTx our Senior TX Strategist Carolina Canizales wrote a poignant article sharing how @TxDPS has failed Texans — repeatedly.

There were still many open questions on Friday morning, but two things were certain: Roberson is alive for now — and it’s only because a bipartisan group of Texas lawmakers employed the unprecedented, novel strategy of issuing a death row inmate a subpoena to testify.

BREAKING: A judge in Austin has just blocked Texas death row inmate Robert Roberson from execution to allow him to testify to lawmakers next week about his case.
This is an extraordinary development in this case.
ACLU of Texas retweeted
This is urgent. #RobertRoberson is just two days away from being executed for a crime that never happened, and we need your help to stop it.
☎️ Call @GovAbbott NOW at 361-264-9653. Time is running out. We cannot allow another innocent person to be executed.
