An absolutely embarrassing day for the City of Austin and the dais. This ain't the progressive council of recent years anymore, folks. Thank God we have @CMZoQadri.
"The fear is not unfounded – the APA used this same strategy to defang the entire system of civilian police oversight established in the 2018 police contract."
"The last time the U.S. launched a mass deportation effort, U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent were rounded up & sent to MX. The mass deportations Trump is proposing would be devastating for our economy & dangerous for American Latinos.” -- @JoaquinCastrotx https://t.co/p1KN5NdaVV
So what I'm hearing is that certain members of city council want to pass a police contract they can't afford, and then run a TRE and say it's for social services when it's actually for a police contract they can't afford?
Told you so.
The fact that @chitovela3 needs to refer to the transcript from the Austin police contract negotiations to find solace in voting for this rotten deal only proves our point that the *actual contract language* remains so purposefully unclear that it invites police frat grievances.
Helluva story up today from @stevanzetti--especially relevant for Dallas voters soon headed to the polls.
Pour a fresh cup of coffee, it's a sprawling investigation you'll want to finish: https://t.co/DjQtOPHzw4
"We think @MikeSiegelTX is best suited to taking on that task because of his experience as a grassroots community organizer and former city attorney." 🌹
Which is, of course, why I'm working so hard to support @MikeSiegelTX
He's already been doing both, as evidenced both by his track record in Ground Game and his dedication to the Austin Police Oversight Act

When traveling with @BernieSanders in Texas, there was a common theme: Tears of joy from students. Tears of gratitude from poor people he stood up for. Tears from veterans, teachers, & retirees who were inspired to fight on another year.
Thank you, Bernie. When we fight, we win!
