Sen Katie Britt says sexual assault is the worst thing that can happen to a woman while encouraging Americans to vote for a convicted sexual predator.

If a #txlege member does not want to approve anything for public schools unless they first get vouchers, then, in reality, the #txlege member does not want to give anything to schools.

If the governor will veto any school funding bill without vouchers, then, in reality, the governor does not want to give any funding to schools.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow.

Here’s Robert De Niro’s full statement about how Donald Trump should NEVER be president again:

“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty.

Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. 

Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. 

They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. 

Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity. 

Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world. 

Safety for our families. 

Decency. 

Let’s welcome them back. 

We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

When Michigan billionaire @BetsyDeVos can spend tens of millions to malign anti-voucher House R’s

But teachers can’t encourage each other to vote for #txed without @KenPaxtonTX suing them,

Tyranny is knocking at our door.

VOTE like your life depends on it.

Because it does.

@BetsyDeVos of Michigan, Jeffrey Yass of Pennsylvania.

Even his TX billionaires—@timdunntexas & Wilks Brothers—don’t have enough to buy every election.

Your vote stops this buyoff!

Vote #txed!

Claiming the moral high ground is rarely a sign of virtue. It’s often a signal of narcissism.

People who consistently believe they hold superior principles have inflated opinions of their own judgment.

Being self-righteous is a barrier to respecting and learning from others.

Gov. Greg Abbott puts the priorities of his billionaire donors, who want taxpayer dollars diverted to private schools, over the needs of ordinary Texans, writes the Houston Chronicle Editorial Board. https://t.co/fu3510J5Hn

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, rips his former boss:

“What can I add that has not already been said? A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them…

A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about…

A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.

There is nothing more that can be said. God help us.”

The movement to overtake school boards in TX is well coordinated & well funded. My kids have a school board w/ 6/7 trustees who answer to political orgs & politicians rather than the families in our community. This isn’t about parents rights, it’s about $$, power, & control.
