We might as well consider Three Brothers Bakery in #Houston #Texas a polling outlet at this point. I'm just following what I see in the streets here and in the posts from other resisters around the country. We're winning. Forget the polls, just get out there and vote! And then buy yourself a cookie or something for voting. #Talarico #Paxton

Previously: In an attempt to overcomply with #Texas law, the University of #Houston will eliminate over 100 women's studies, gender and sexuality courses from the core curriculum. It won't be enough to appease extremist Republicans. https://www.texasobserver.org/university-of-houston-ends-gender-sexuality-courses-op-ed/ #women #gender #LGBTQIA #GulfCoast #news #politics #USpol

College administrators wrongly hope that anticipatory obedience will satisfy a GOP-run Texas Legislature that is increasingly hostile toward education.

From Daniel Dawer and Ruth Kravetz: Nearly 2,000 juniors at 16 high schools in Houston ISD were pulled from Algebra II and placed in remedial math. At some schools, about 70% of juniors were similarly demoted into less challenging classes. It wasn't due to poor grades ... https://www.texasobserver.org/the-houston-miracle-shell-game/ #education #Houston #GulfCoast #Texas #politics #USpol #news

The substance collected from the van driven by Lorenzo Salgado Araujo when he was shot & #killed by an #ICE agent during a traffic stop in #Houston this month was NOT drugs, acc/to a spox for the Harris County DA’s Office. This comes after the #FBI filed a warrant application saying the agency had cause to believe that an investigator found illegal drugs in the vehicle after the July 7 #shooting that killed the 52-yr-old Mexican #immigrant & longtime #Texas #resident. #Trump #law #immigration

And predictably, it was BS Witnesses of #ICE Killing in #Houston Dispute the #Trump Admin’s Account #DHS said a Mexican immigrant driving a van tried to ram agents before they shot him dead. A lawyer for three passengers said that was untrue. #law #immigration #Sturmabteilung #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #DueProcess #ExcessiveForce #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #CivilRights #HumanRights #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #AbuseOfPower #fascism #tyranny #MafiaState #WhiteSupremacy

Three men who witnessed #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo’s killing by federal #immigration officers in #Houston disputed #DHS’s account of the shooting & said the victim never attempted to run over a federal agent. The men, who were inside the vehicle, were arrested during the Tuesday encounter & spoke from immigration #detention with their lawyer, Hugo Balderas-Ibarra. #Trump #law #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #CivilRights #fascism #WhiteSupremacy
