Check out this new ad I worked on from Arshia Papari who’s running for Texas State Rep in Central Austin’s House District 49! Montserrat is bought and paid for! We don’t want reps beholden to real estate and billionaires, we want a politics powered by the people! #austin #texas #uspol #hd49 #txdems

It's so sickening seeing politicians & people in power talking down or on behalf of marginalized people especially disabled people treating them like r-slurs who are too dumb to understand what they're saying instead of talking with them as human beings with hopes & dreams like everyone else

This is cringe. I appreciate that Brigid Shea is supporting "these people" (she means immigrants). But her life is so whitebread that she only knows immigrants as servants.

We are building a movement for the working class of Travis County to make this county affordable for the people that make it run instead of keeping housing out of reach to inflate property values.

Tenants in Acacia Cliffs are being displaced off the backs of greedy landlords converting to luxury apartments. The Housing Authority of Travis County needs to step up and purchase Acacia Cliffs to stop this conversion and put it into community control.

Just acquired a disability pride flag for my room! (cc @sarajw)
Wrinkled disability pride flag hanging vertically with the red stripe on the left and two gromets on the top corners on a lightly saturated sea foam green wall with a lamp encroaching slightly on the bottom right. Window trim slightly visible on the right hand edge of the frame, not covering the flag.

Incredibly disappointing to see the continuation of an increase in our county jail population. We need to start prioritizing the downsizing of our incarceration and focus on returning these people to safe, healthy and comfortable living environments where they can thrive.
