Tx Education has been in the hot seat lately. Look at this Eanes Kids First post over their board discussing DEI in their next meeting. “Make Teachers, Principals, Admins and BM’s lives miserable.” They want to file multiple lawsuits! @txleadsed #education #texas 1/4 
They are sending out the rallying cry to relocate an implement local control. They believe they have a right to implement prayer in school or whatever THEY choose. Biggest problem is apathetic lazy voters. They call other citizens not in “their” group Marxists.
These parents are also part of the group that MQS represents. So it shouldn’t surprise any of us that this is their attitude 3/4
Truth. #racism #america #dothework

We talked about the calls for unity. And as I said on that interview, and will repeat as long as it takes, there can be no unity without acknowledgment, understanding, and intentional action to remake our systems that were built on white supremacy.
Killed By The Government In Your Sleep Is A Problem, #BreonnaTaylor. Why did I mention Breonna Taylor to the students at LSU? Because the government shouldn’t be able to kill us in our sleep.

should not get shot in their homes while they sleep by the police. And it should make us mad as hell that the cops are still free.
Johnathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove shouldn’t be free. They should be in jail for murder.

We should use as many opportunities as possible to lift up this sisters name. Until they are.
We should consistently use our voices to speak out against injustice. Social media is a tool.

The #disparitiesreport came out today. I will do a thread on Weds underneath here.
Its content is important. Those of you who have followed me recently, I suspect due to my #antiracismchallenge, I encourage you to engage with reading and absorbing this report 1️⃣

It'll give u a better understanding of y the juxtaposition of: #lockdown; #GeorgeFloyd's murder; #AmyCooper's disregard for #ChristianCooper's life; the Met's decision to NFA in the case of #BellyMujinga; the tasering of #DesmondZiggyMombeyarara; and many other factors 2️⃣
have left so many Black folk in a state of paralysis. Taking time to read material like this is part of being an ally: gives insight into the lived reality of others; helps you 2b informed enough 2 hold the gov & powers that be accountable. #ShowUp #MakeItYourProblemToo 3️⃣

The Doctor-Friend
Here's the message the doctors gave your family:
"We think you should notify family members to come. Things have worsened. We suggest they get here soon."
You texted this update to me, your doctor-friend. The one who'd been talking to you all along.
Yeah.

Wait. Does that mean he's dying now? You want to know.
"Get here."
That's the code that doctors use to convey the urgency of death or dying. But it isn't really a code.
Nope.
I am honest. Yes. That is what I think it means.

As I think of it,"get here" is no code at all.
Because codes are things that one has to decipher. Being called in because "things have taken a turn for the worse" and "get here" require very little interpretation.
Especially compared to all that preceded it.

Moderator @mshannabrooks kicking off our #HousingVoterForum @seattleu tonight, where we’ll talk about the role of #housing & #homelessness in our City Council election. Follow along on @tech4housing YouTube channel.
.@mshannabrooks says she’s attended 30+ candidate endorsement meetings thus election season, & she observes a lot of candidates know the language to use to talk about #homelessness, but not necessarily what it means.
For example, says @mshannabrooks, everyone talks about #HousingFirst; but when you ask their policy, some have said they want FEMA-style tents. [For the record, tents aren’t housing.]
The #resistance is needed now more than ever, and not just because the #Mueller investigation is getting closer to blowing this group of grifters out of the water: <THREAD>
Trump, and everyone that supports him are at war with the values that could make us a better nation.
On nearly every level, Trump and his racist republican ilk are doing everything they can to be on the wrong side of history. It's straight up villainy.

Inequality, racial tensions, corporations with too much power, imprisoning brown people in private prisons, healthcare, taxes, the environment, public safety, and of course, common fucking decency. All that and more is at stake.
