To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

It’s hinted at in the article, but it needs to be emphasized how deeply the takeover of HISD has relied on fear and intimidation. Teachers and students are not just miserable; they’re made to feel constantly afraid as a force to motivate change. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

Houston parents and community members from CVPE @houstoncvpe.bsky.social are at the Texas Capitol today engaging state legislators. Our asks: say NO to vouchers, return HISD to local control, and adopt enrollment-based funding for public education.

A group of community advocates stands on the steps of the Texas Capitol.
