    Deeply honored to receive the Ohtli Award from @ConsulMexDal @fdelatgβ€”the highest recognition from the Mexican government to non-Mexican nationals. Mexican blood runs through my veins, and as a proud Mexican American, I am profoundly grateful for the Consul’s partnership.

    β€œMasters was raped in her Dallas home in 1985 when she was 13. She waited for more than 20 years for her [rape kit] to be processed before her case was finally reopened, only for the statute of limitations to have already passed. Her attacker went on to commit other rapes. For

    Murder does not have a 10 year mandatory minimum jail sentence. Rape does not have a 10 year mandatory minimum jail sentence. However, if you give a ride to your undocumented prima, you can face 10 years MANDATORY MINIMUM jail sentence under extreme legislation like SB 4. #txlege

    After a long, hard-fought battle, & our numerous attempts to kill it, Republicans passed SB17 to eliminate diversity, equity, & inclusion at all public TX colleges and universities. This is rolling us back to a time when not even water fountains were equally accessible. #txlege

    .@JoeBiden had the foresight to write the landmark Violence Against Women Act in 1990, & it impacted the lives of survivors of domestic violence & rape in our country in a way I hope the #LaviniaMastersAct will benefit Texas women & girls for generations to come. #WeKnowJoe

    In emotional testimony before a Senate committee, star US gymnast Simone Biles blames "an entire system that enabled and perpetuated" sex abuse. "The organizations created by Congress to oversee and protect me as an athlete... failed to do their jobs." cnn.it/2Xl2fFm
