This POS who talks shit about teachers, does a tour about our failing schools and how everyone should push vouchers, doesn’t give them a raise but now wants to ride on the backs of their hard work! NOT TODAY Abbott! We have memories like elephants! Pay the teachers!

Time to defeat the dishonest politicians who want to hold on to power and who fear the will of the people. #VoteNoOhio
You know how Democratic organizers & activists tell everyone to, “make a plan to vote”? Republicans know they do that too and that’s why they disrupt the plan.

Arkansas passed the voucher program under the lie that it would enable poor and working class people to place their children into private schools.
But after the state began issuing vouchers, the private schools in the state all raised their tuition to more than what the vouchers would pay.
So is it really just a scam to funnel public funds into the hands of private institutions? 🤔
Frisco Police terrorize a black family at gunpoint after a cop runs Arkansas plate numbers through the Arizona database and then assumes the car is stolen when the plates don't show up.
They then force the entire family out of the car one by one at gunpoint, making women and small children obey their commands and march backward. This is just a small portion of the 20-minute stop.

On July 29, 1910 hundreds of white people massacred Black residents of Slocum, Texas.
It is believed that the massacre began after a Black worker was appointed to a position of authority on a road project.
Slocum, similar to Tulsa was a thriving Black community.
In two days, it is estimated that 200+ Black people were massacred. Only six were officially confirmed and 22 were reported by major newspapers because Black lives didn't matter.
Black people had to leave their land, homes, farms, and businesses behind. Wealth is lost to generations.
The African-American population in Slocum declined. Again, just like the Tulsa Massacre, the Slocum Massacre was not even acknowledged in Texas until 100 years later, in 2011. (EJI)

@TexasTribune Thank you, @TexasTribune, for a great article. As a former Aggie, seeing my alma mater treat an esteemed and respected fellow former Aggie this way is heartbreaking and disappointing. But sadly, not 100% surprising. This truth makes it very hard to be proud to be an Aggie.
