Please stop equating antisemitism being on the rise to an active genocide. These things are not the same. Decrying antisemitism is another way ppl dodge the issue at hand—genocide. It’s more both-sideism; a false equivalence intended to quell dissent over US-Israel policy.

We wanted to take a moment to plug an event by one of our Steering Committee members, @txcivilrights . We encourage you to join them for a Movie Screening event as they release their new report on the Houston Police Department’s use of non-safety traffic stops.

I also want to flag that Twitter (aka X) isn't allowing me to post @RISE_hou_tx's website because it has "been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful." So...that's alarming.

F Mike Miles on Wednesday: only a couple people were booing. It's only a small group who weren't cheering. F Mike Miles on Friday: if you boo me, we'll find out who you are. But that's not a threat. #HISDTakeover
HoustonCVPE@HoustonCVPE18 Aug 2023
HISD teachers booed F Mike Miles during the pay-for-performance presentation today. He threatened to remove disruptive people and find out who they are. Where would he put them? In a discipline zoom room? 🤔 Teachers want to be heard. Not patronized.
