Jeremy Glenn shows up and beloved, long-tenured educators leave. That’s what happened when he was hired in Granbury. It’s a pattern.

He’s lying. Tarrant went through a full redistricting process in 2021, and on 09/28/2021, the 3-2 Republican majority Commissioners Court voted 4-1 to maintain the maps in use at the time, as the population was balanced and there was no need to waste taxpayer money on a new map.

Mayor Armin Mizani It is within the power of the Commissioners Court to do it. It’s bullshit to lie about the reasons why. If it’s purely “we have the power to do it and we intend to”, just be honest about the raw power play. Don’t lie to the people of Tarrant County to justify it.

📊 SMU researcher Dr. Andrea Barreiro confirms that Tarrant County’s proposed redistricting maps pack non-White voters into a single district, diluting their voting power and dismantling Precinct 2. This analysis suggests intentional racial gerrymandering. Learn more:

As the R members of the Tarrant County Commissioners Court and others across the county lie to the public about Redistricting in Tarrant County, we should hear the truth, from the County’s own YouTube channel. 🧐 FACT: Full process in 2021, 4-1 vote re-adopted maps until 2030

It’s always the ppl who yell Jesus the loudest and wear their Christianity like a cultish uniform that have the least empathy, are the most hateful, and relish watching other humans suffer.

Tim is spinning the only narrative he has on Redistricting of Tarrant County: “It’s purely partisan”. He knows courts will strike a racial gerrymander. The data the county won’t show says it’s black, brown, & Asian voters moved from Precinct 2 to 1. Tim says it’s just partisan.

Oscar Longoria, Armando Martinez, Claudia Ordaz, and Richard Peña Raymond voted for SB12 which targets LGBTQ students in public schools among other problematic things.

That handful of Republicans at least stopped gaslighting us about supporting public schools. They voted for vouchers this time around. And, again, voted to ban books and further marginalize LGBTQ students. White Christian nationalism is the name of the game.

The Ten Commandments will literally be hanging in classrooms. Our son’s 9th grd math teacher put scripture on students’ math tests. Our daughter had “morals come from God” in school counselors’ presentation. Republicans do NOTHING but try to indoctrinate kids w/ their beliefs.

Imagine a woman having multiple kids by multiple men while being strung out on drugs. She would NEVER fail up the way a man can. Meanwhile, Musk is cutting $ that helps women raise the kids men leave them w/. Patriarchy and misogyny are something else. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
