We’ve seen this play before. It does not end well. You cannot placate the far right by offering sacrifices (see Republican primaries). It just gives them a head start on the rest of their agenda. And in the process @UTAustin has alienated true supporters of academic freedom.
The firing of 49 UT Austin employees – many of whom were previously reassigned from DEI positions – was partly driven by a desire to reach conservative politicians who have lost trust in higher education, President Jay Hartzell said Monday. trib.al/i5OFCpD

The @CAMPOTexas Transportation Policy Board should diligently move forward on a plan to reduce transportation carbon emissions now, instead of wasting time trying to figure out how to get out of Federal requirements. @AndyBrownATX @PaigeForAustin @VanessaForATX @annhowardtx

Today is a key deadline in knowing what will happen in the 2024 primary! If we do not have a signed contract today for the @TravisCountyTX to approve next Tuesday 12/19 this will delay election preparation until 1/9/24. We support a contract with countywide voting today!

I’m filing to run for Travis County Tax Assessor-Collector to protect the vote as our county’s chief voter registrar, to stand up for people by providing the best customer service, and to ensure our government works for us by taking care of the basic functions of the office. 1/2
