jokes like this reinforce and spread addiction stigma, and that stigma is a huge reason why they successfully gutted public health work addressing addiction and overdoses. and it’s why they’re targeting adhd medications next. this isn’t funny. it’s harmful

I definitely watch for the hopeful things to share that show our power. Unfortunately though I think a significant % of people don't realize how bad it is so it still feels necessary to share the bad too. I keep hearing the advice to share the truth while we can.

While on my morning walk in the Mueller neighborhood, my DPS escort, who was forced upon me to track my every movement, threatened to arrest me. He lost me on the trail, got angry about it, and made a scene in front of my constituents on the trail. #txlege 1/3

While a little shaken up from the incident, I remain undeterred by this intimidation tactic by House Republicans to have a 24/7 state police presence to intimidate me and my colleagues. 2/3

This is also why I stand with my colleague @NicoleCollier95, who has refused to go along with this charade and is still on the House floor 24 hours later. We will not be intimidated by this, and history will remember this. 3/3
