An American Airlines flight departing the Los Angeles International Airport turned into an emotional tribute when crew members surprised a veteran returning from his first trip back to Vietnam decades after surviving years as a prisoner of war. Details: https://t.co/mBNagyS99H
@AmericanAir@SICC1979 This is after a lengthy delay in Charlotte because the pilot failed to notice that tires needed to be changed. @AmericanAir. I have missed my connection flight and now will miss work tomorrow.
I’m thrilled to announce that I am running for @AlvinISD Board of Trustees - Position 4 in the upcoming May 3rd election!
With 15 years of experience as an educator, including serving as a high school principal through the challenges of the pandemic, I understand the needs of our students, teachers, and communities firsthand.
I’m committed to advocating for the resources, support, and innovative solutions necessary to prepare our students for a rapidly changing world. With your support, we can ensure that Alvin ISD continues to thrive and that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
Let’s make a difference — one student, one educator, one school at a time.

This evening, I was honored to accept the NAACP’s Chairman’s Award.
I grew up inspired by the work of the NAACP — by all those who took up the fight for justice, equality, and opportunity. Their example is part of the reason I chose a life of public service.
At this moment, people around our nation see the flames on our horizons, the rising waters in our cities, the shadows gathering over our democracy, and ask, “What do we do now?”
We know exactly what to do. Like those who forged the NAACP and those who carried its legacy forward, we use our power. We organize, mobilize, educate, and advocate.
Not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary. Because the fight is worth it.
This chapter in our American story will be written not by whoever occupies the Oval Office, nor by the wealthiest among us.
The American story will be written by we, the people.
Can’t wait for the all of the MAGA Black folks at the White House yesterday to comment on how Donald Trump fired a Black 4-star general as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and has named less qualified white man. I’ll wait.
On this day in 1929, George Stinney Jr., was born.
He was the youngest person executed in the US in the 20th century. He was so small they had to stack books on the electric chair.
Due to no evidence, his conviction was vacated 70 years after his execution!
