Don't miss it. #Abbott's choosing Texas Independence Day (March 2) to lift Covid restrictions is a dog whistle to secessionists & insurrectionists.

I just can’t believe this decision! No good will come of this-except votes, because that is all these crooked bastards care about😒 #Abbott how many times can you fail us in 30 days?😒 #GoBeto

#Texas going down the hill with #Abbott. Great for businesses to be open but your health & safety are not important enough. #maskmandate #maskup #COVID19 #COVID19Vaccine pic.twitter.com/ZaHiUfJ4IZ

It appears the only good thing to come from the Texas Winter Blackout was to force Abbott to do something to end his long slide down the drain.

I'll take it! Buh Bye Texas Covid Mandates!!!!#TexasIndependenceDay #abbott #texasmaskmandate #finallyhttps://t.co/z7hop9SvpK
Should we applaud elected officials as liberators when they finally end policies that they never should have enacted in the first place? #texasmask #texas #abbott #gregabbott

@GregAbbott_TX is opening Texas too soon.@SenTedCruz ran off to Mexico while his constituents suffered and then threw his kids under the bus.

Good luck to my family and friends in Texas, especially in Austin. Your government is making some very poor decisions. - “Gov. Greg Abbott to lift Texas mask mandate and open state ‘100 percent’ - NBC News” #texas #covid #abbott https://t.co/FDZwkMT7Zw

First Covid, then the storm, then no electricity or water, then Ted Cruz, and now #Abbott and more Covid. Texas is screwed.

Maybe #Abbott's unaware that Texas has been fully open since last summer. Stores are crowded, restaurants are packed when I pop in for pick-up. All that's going to change starting next Wednesday is a vast reduction in #mask wearing. #Texas

Come thruuu #Texas! Shoutout to Governor Abbott for setting what I hope is the trend!https://t.co/JGgcBUdgwu#tuesdayvibe #TuesdayMotivations #Abbott

Such an idiot. Texas became the laughing stock of the world (along with #TedCruz) and now, to show that "TX is back," #Abbott is removing mandatory masks, further endangering the health and safety of Texans. When is someone going to #RecallAbbott and #RecallTedCruz? https://t.co/18oMpp4dsK

It's official. Between the power grid, ending the mask mandate, opening businesses to 100%, and fire ants, Texas is trying to kill us. #texas #abbott #COVID19

My family lives in Texas.
I am in my feelings right now.#Texas #AbbottAnnouncement #Abbott
I have family that live in #Texas. They love it. Some may not agree with #Abbott’s approach, but a lot of people (including liberals) are migrating there. https://t.co/SJKN5IHptj

Man....I agree ... open it up.... but I saw what I saw firsthand in the hospital last week.... removing mask mandates is foolish at this point. 8000 positive cases in Texas yesterday alone😳 #Abbott #texas #covid #maskmandate
