  1. > Shawn Thierry lost to Lauren Ashley Simmons, a queer union organizer

    > Simmons left no doubt about her victory: she resoundingly won 65%-35%.

    Ha ha! 👉 Shawn Thierry

  2. There’a a kind of poetic justice in this too: The incumbent was defeated in the primary by progressive Lauren Simmons, who is queer herself.

  3. Jokes on everyone who thought she was an actual Democrat.

    People need to seriously VET their elected officials.

  4. T minus 2 weeks until she rebrands as a Republican and runs on the platform, “I tried to save the kids from the mean queer people but I was *silenced*.”

     I hope I’m wrong and she crawls back under a rock somewhere though. 

  5. Gotta get rid of all the deadwood and have better TX dema to win

  6. Of course she should stand up for peoples right to control their own healthcare decisions., but this is only good if Dems actually win the seat.

  7. Good because fuck anyone who takes away bodily autonomy and the right to choose what’s best for themselves.

  8. Good riddance. Bigots don’t belong in the Democratic party.

  9. As a Houstonian, this makes me so proud! Good riddance to this yahoo.

  10. Only one party fails to hold their members to account. Only one party is playing politics as team sports, don’t let yourself forget that.
