Austin has turned out in major force today to demand justice. For George Floyd. For Breonna Taylor. For Mike Ramos. For victims of racist policing. On the sacred grounds of Huston-Tillotson University. https://t.co/Bc8KJr0Irh https://t.co/x5QvWUUf2V

For context: in 2016 a Rice University report called Katy schools some of "the most economically segregated" in the nation. The area is fast-changing, and there are many wonderful communities. But these young people are making a huge statement. https://t.co/zZUEuntyvu

McCaul talking about water is hilarious. Rich, even. Of course we need clean water. But remember this story from 2018? "The sprawling West Austin home of @RepMcCaul used more city-supplied water than any other single-family residence in 2017." #TX10 https://t.co/ZldhdQhWvE QT @RepMcCaul: Great news 👉🏻 @UTAustin has been awarded a $2 million grant to forecast water quality - in conducting this research… https://t.co/y2QBl1HlWS)

Sad development. The House of Labor in DC. Beautiful mosaic mural in the lobby, celebrating the labor movement. The movement for Black Lives & the labor movement are both essential as we fight for a more just society. The folks doing this don't know — or don't care. #AFLCIO https://t.co/v8wXa9zY8h QT @aletweetsnews: The AFL-CIO headquarters a block north of the White House has been ransacked.

ANYONE can apply to vote by mail in Texas right now. “A federal judge opened a path for a massive expansion in absentee voting in Texas by ordering that all state voters regardless of age qualify for a mail-in ballot during the coronavirus pandemic.” https://t.co/jtqhyXrBWg

Great news! This is now the third court that has ruled — we shouldn’t have to choose between our health and our vote. QT @alexazura: Breaking: Federal district judge has granted preliminary injunction that allows registered voters under 65 to apply… https://t.co/qqdXWsX2XO)

I'm being joined by labor and environmental activists, to discuss how we build a just transition to a sustainable future. Listen in!

May Day reminds us what is possible when we organize. In 1884, the AFL used May 1 to demand an eight-hour work day. Let history show that in 2020 we demanded: a living wage universal healthcare union rights retirement w/ dignity #1u #MayDay2020 https://t.co/317xDzanW3

We need to do some much better. Federal aid is not reaching the people who need it most. #PutPeopleFirst QT @K_JeanPierre: "Roughly 95% of Black-owned businesses,91% of Latino-owned businesses,91% of Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander-ow… https://t.co/4yFrGaNZtY)

Ben Brenneman, @IBEWLocal520, told me: "Austin is enforcing safety standards on job sites, and it's working. Some other areas are not. We've seen five positive cases in Williamson County in the last week alone. The lack of consistent enforcement puts our lives at risk." QT @SiegelForTexas: Gov.

Gov. Abbott deemed residential construction an "essential" service, so builders cannot pause work without inviting lawsuits. That's why we've joined with @IBEW Locals 520 and 714 and local labor federations to demand a comprehensive work safety program. https://t.co/lr96EZENPz

We can't pretend we will "go back to normal" anytime soon. We must build a safety net that can withstand the COVID-19 crisis: universal health care and sick leave; housing and jobs guarantees and more. We are in this together, and need to act like it. https://t.co/J8wFhLwfaK

I've spoken with organizers from @IBEW and @steelworkers, and a major concern is workplace safety. Regulations require PPE and social distancing, but OSHA doesn't have the resources to perform inspections. Before we open up, we need safe work places. https://t.co/iXRqV9Bs62
