Reason 5,001 why I ❤️ our messy #20Project! Seeing all the things our youth want 2 learn & giving them the time & push to do it! Love all the interest in music this yr, produce music, make beats. But my fave, “save the rap game” #TrustTheyWill#HipHopEd#MisEducated
Fun fact: Greg Abbott is in a wheelchair because of a freak accident. He sued and won over $8.9 million
Guess what he did next?
In 2003, Texas capped pain and suffering awards in medical malpractice suits at $250,000. Greg Abbott, a gubernatorial candidate who was then attorney general, supported the cap to deny others the compensation he had received.
Typical Republican
When you uphold the status quo, you side with the oppressor… if you are not actively working to break these barriers down, you are helping to keep them in place. Aiding & Abetting

I grieve for the woman you would have become and all the difference you would have made in this world. I grieve for the woman I was when you were still here. But, one part of me still exist, I am still your mom. I will honor your life with action. This is only the beginning💛
Don’t welcome folks who will stoke your rage without offering a respite for reason. Ignore folks who are quick to offer plans to burn it down without a strategy to build it better. Remove yourself from folks who recite painful platitudes but never share positive affirmation. Education is filled with folks who have no hope, faith, or plan. They may be in your orbit but they are not your people #OneToGrowOn #ProtectYourPeace
@ELmagazine A1: Be sure tech is used for a specific purpose & not simply a replacement for paper or a babysitter. Ask: how does this enhance/push the learning experience or engagement to another level for students? If it’s not ditch it. Don’t use tech just to say you are. #ELMagChat
In 2020, Patrick Braxton became the 1st Black mayor of an Alabama town. Then the ex-mayor & councilmembers reappointed themselves w/o anyone knowing
He's been locked out of town hall, denied town accounts & nearly run off the road: “You’re not the mayor”

But Slavery continued…

Greg Abbott chose to refer to the victims of a brutal shooting in Cleveland as illegal immigrants. They were much more than that. They were heroes. Who used their bodies as shields to protect two children from dying, and who told their father to jump out the window so he’d live.
