How could you be criminally trespassing in what appears to be outdoor common areas on a campus of a school you pay tuition to attend? . It’s odd.
Breaking: Law enforcement arrests pro-Palestine students protesting on UT-Austin campus, handcuffing and removing at least four people. Authorities told students they could face criminal trespass charges if they didn’t disperse.

Thank you, but, dude, we’re good. Register voters, block walk or get on a phone bank. But don’t come just for this as a “response” to Trump/Cruz. Response is we are getting ready for November. Be well.
I am excited to announce that I will be leading a large resistance rally in Texas at the exact same time of Trump’s (details tba). All groups are welcome to join. We must fight fire with fire and we must send a message that we will fight to make America America again. #Basta.

Fucking crazy. How do I prove I’m.A US citizen in Brady, TX? Or my wife who doesn’t speak much English? Some asshole deputy can detain me for whatever. We are US citizens. It’s a stain. And it will solve nothing.
In this 3rd #txlege Special Session, the Texas House just passed House Bill 4 that empowers any officer to detain any person in any part of Texas & take them to the Mexico border. No judge. No evidence. This is not border security; this is insanity.

Dude I live right on the river. I speak Spanish. I could be 200 miles away from home in Texas not be able to prove my citizenship. Get myself detained/arrested for being brown or a Spanish speaker. This is a fuck with us bill. It won’t secure the border.
Many may disagree with me, but this is a good move by SCOTUS. If the Feds aren’t doing their job, a state should be able to protect their residents and protect their border.👇.

They are also bait for relatives who may be here without a visa. Relative(s) appear and/or are identified. It’s a combat technique where wounded/captured used to draw out aid to add the aid to the carnage. It’s horrible.

They had a ballistic shield in the hallway in Uvalde. In their minds that AR couldn’t be bested. Their lack of initiative/courage in the moment coupled with their belief (correct) the shooter had superior firepower doomed more people that day.
Half of the money Republican leaders in Texas allotted for school safety after Uvalde - $50 million - will be spent on bullet-resistant shields for school police. Uvalde officers had ballistics shields, but stood outside a classroom door for 75 minutes.

When I was a school board member way back when I learned No 1 impediment to child’s growth/learning on any given day was hunger. If the Governor’s all out assault on behalf of vouchers was truly about opportunity for children he would move heaven and earth to access this food.
Federal aid to Texas could have fed 3.7M children here this summer. But the state turned the cash down, saying the timing, "current resource restraints" on agencies and the effort to implement the program made it impossible. Story by @beckyfogel.#txlege.

This is obviously good but it tells us we can’t always be this lucky. If we continue down same path it’s only a matter of time before people like him slip through and kill us as we worship, work, play, learn, etc. Our Lt. Gov wants universal background checks. It’s time.
A potential mass shooter in Texas failed a background check and was on his way to purchase a gun from a private seller when he was stopped by police. A shooting tragedy was averted only because his father called the police. Background checks work. Close the loopholes. #txlege.
