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

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.
