Texas public schools take all kids. They are the choice of 5+ million families. Enough w/the gimmicks. Enough w/vouchers. It’s time to fully fund our public schools so that every TX child has access to a solid education. It is our legal & moral obligation to our kids & our future

Billions of dollars have been poured into the Texas mental health system, but mass shootings continue within the state. Mental health experts say their profession isn’t the only answer to mass shootings and that state leaders need to expand their focus. texastribune.org/2023/05/10/tex…

Rep. Jeff Leach, a House impeachment manager who voted in favor of Ken Paxton's impeachment in May, spoke during closing arguments in the Senate. He implored the senators to consider their verdict carefully. tinyurl.com/y7dpda7a?utm_s…

The Governor’s bribe is immoral. Texas schools are $40 Billion behind the national average in per student funding. Texas parents demand Greg Abbott do his job & expand the call to fund our schools. Greg Abbott is hoarding billions in taxpayer $ that belongs to Texas students.

Acre by acre, Black heirs have been stripped of ancestral land. Much of it was lost to the efforts of two men who weaponized arcane real estate records and the courts, taking plots potentially worth millions—and erasing cherished family legacies. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
