On Juneteenth, we commemorate the anniversary of the delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope — and a reason to keep building a country that lives up to its highest ideals.

🌎’s 10th strongest economy is sitting on a $30+B surplus, not including the $30B rainy day fund, and still not 1¢ towards education. Sine die just 2 days away.

#txed is being held hostage at the expense of 5.5M students.

We have to stop the bleed (teacher exodus)!

Call/write your #txlege reps!

Well… this is insulting. No pay raise for teachers but here’s your condolence prize - a license plate? I seriously thought this was an SNL skit! But nope!!

[José Menéndez @Menendez4Texas]

We passed #HB108 out of the Senate, which would allow current and retired teachers to obtain a license plate for their years of service. Our teachers sacrifice so much for our children, and this is one way we can honor them.

This is what I am talking about. Attacks on teachers. This person likely doesn’t personally know any of these people. Yet he claims to know their personal beliefs.

🧵 Meanwhile, in Oklahoma…

Gazette publisher Bruce Willingham left a voice activated recorder in the McCurtain County official’s (including the Sheriff) meeting because he suspected they were illegally doing county business after the public meeting ended. What he uncovered was a murder plot & a racist discussion of hanging Black people.

Gov Stitt may have called on county officials to resign but instead, the Sheriff is calling for an investigation into the authenticity of the tape.

You can’t make this shit up.

Relevant. Powerful. Needed.

On the 60th anniversary of my father’s #LetterFromBirminghamJail, I encourage us all to study it for application.

The truths, principles and strategy in the letter can help us implement the demands of justice today.

@UHouston As a parent of a UH junior, I would love to be kept in the loop on this and want to do what I can do as a member of the parent community to help. Perhaps a seminar specifically for parents and guardians on this would be particularly helpful. 🙏 ❤️

@Acyn Many founding fathers believed religion gave people a moral compass but they absolutely wanted a division of church and state. So important that it was the first part of the first amendment.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

When we Christians become convinced that only we know the truth, that anyone who opposes us is on the side of evil, and things will only get better if we are in charge of all positions of power, that is when we know we are no longer worshiping God.

We are worshiping ourselves.

Welp, time for plan B 😂 😆 j/k j/k

My heart is heavy for his family. My son is a student here and I know he and other students are pretty shaken. We need to confront the mental health issues that students face.

[University of Houston @UHouston]

Our community is deeply saddened after a student passed away on campus today. @UofHPolice is investigating and there is no indication of foul play.

There is no ongoing threat to our community.
