Proud of Divest/Invest RGV member Guadalupe Pardo for their great work uncovering the destructive history of policing in the RGV! Read about a particularly brutal chapter of that history in Trucha today.

[Trucha @truchargv]

The problem of abuse within policing & the larger prison system has been a prevalent force historically. The combination of a culture of impudent behavior, complicity, and an alleged government coverup were the characteristics in the case of the “animals” of the McAllen PD.

"And it’s just providing an environment where kids can see, and anybody can see, it’s a safe space to be yourself regardless of who that is."

Pride events in small, conservative, towns can bring lasting change to communities.

The ties between the coordinated attacks on our democracy and Gov Abbott's Operation Lone Star are not just rhetorical. The same racist lies and dangerous people fuel both. @POTUS @TheJusticeDept must intervene and shut down OLS.

Police do NOT🟰safety

Police did not prevent the shooting and hundreds of them did not end it when they arrived after it started.

Real safety is funding programs that keep our communities happy, healthy and free.

376 law enforcement officers from nearly two dozen federal, state and local agencies arrived at Robb Elementary on May 24 after an 18-year-old gunman, Salvador Ramos, walked in at 11:33 a.m. with an assault-style rifle and began shooting, the report said.

All police are Uvalde police

[Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron]

🧵 Relatives of those killed in the Uvalde mass shooting at Robb Elementary School expressed grief and outrage on Sunday in response to a Texas House committee report that found police prioritized their own safety over the lives of students and teachers.

HAPPENING NOW: Pro-choice community speaking out in front of a crisis pregnancy center located on Main Street in McAllen. Crisis pregnancy centers have been known to mislead people into thinking their facilities are abortion clinics.

[sadie @sadieeehdz]

If you’re in the RGV, be aware that planned parenthood’s down there do not provide abortions.

In the valley, Whole Womans Health is the abortion provider and @LaFronteraFund is the abortion fund.

Please donate to FF if you want to make immediate local impact!

[Frontera Fund @FronteraFundRGV]

And thank you to @sotx4rj for putting together this rally for the RGV! We love you RGV!

[Niko Bowie @nikobowie]

This past week has seen a repudiation of the court-based theory of change that has defined legal liberalism for several decades in the US: a theory that elite lawyers will always be able to use elite reasoning to persuade elite judges not to let things get out of hand.

[Frontera Fund @FronteraFundRGV]

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a shattering blow to the right to access abortion in the U.S., leaving even more people struggling to access the essential health care they need.

As much as we expected this to happen, we are still devastated.
