I could have never imagined how much my life would change after this. But one thing remains true, I’m always going to speak TRUTH to power. Our kids deserve better, our educators deserve better. #TakeBackHISD.
Greg Abbott has imitated a hostile takeover of the local school district in Houston, TX — taking control away from the local school board so that it’s now run by the state. Parent and activist Lauren Ashley read the superintendent for FILTH

“My bad.”.
I stand corrected. I had expected @kenpaxtontx to return from his two week European vacation by today. Unfortunately, he’s made the choice to stay abroad and ignore his job. I was hopeful while Texans demand results, he would do the right thing and come home. My bad.

You’d think with your obsession you’d be more aware of what I accomplished this session as an “inexperienced” freshman legislator. Regardless, this is very weird.
@GroyperTejas @LASimmonsTX146 More that she’s inexperienced and only claim to fame was yelling at a temporary superintendent of a jacked up school district and supports child mutilation and violent illegals as talking points.

Greg Abbott is the definition of “If he wanted to, he would.”. He has circumvented the appropriations process and bypassed the legislature in the past to spend money, if he cared about helping Texans he’d do it now.

Donald Trump is literally the president, I think we’re beyond norms at this point but thanks for sharing.
@LASimmonsTX146 I’m amazed at what politics has become. Elected officials argue with residents of their city. It’s very entertaining, just a far cry from how professional and formal politicians had to be.
