I thought people were kidding that Beto didn't have any policy info on his website, but they're really not kidding, unless I'm looking at the wrong website.
His logo does look nice on the merch, though.
Mayor Pete's website is low on the issues info too, though I've heard him talk more substantively in interviews than Beto. Mayor Pete's march is decidedly inferior, though.

This is a perfect nutshell encapsulation of the problem of competition in education. Children are not helped by trying to level the competition for a handful of elite slots. They are helped by resourcing all schools to serve all students. The system needs tearing down.
Even the students who "win" lose inside these systems of competition. They're burnt out, anxious and depressed. Listen to them: @SRuhle insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis…
Kids competing for those elite slots in NYC schools are needing homework "therapists" hired by their parents. Please tell me how competition is healthy for education again. nytimes.com/2018/04/04/nyr…

Nope, no tribalism to see here. nytimes.com/2019/03/15/us/…
Super duper not tribalism and something we shouldn't be worried about.
Also, clearly not tribalism.

The Problem of Surveillance
The Problem of Assessment and Standardization, in which even the chief supporters of school reform admit how wrong they've been. (And yet this crowd is silent about the book, despite having been sent multiple copies.)
The Problem of Education Fads. Students have been subjected to one fad after another. Tell me this wouldn't make you anxious.

2020 Preseason Predictions 4 the Democrat Party Ticket. We have the “Motorcycle Dairyest” Beto O’Rourke and the “Trail of Tears” Elizabeth Warren to mention 2. But it will not matter. Obama has picked who will run in 2020 using demographics.
Why is Beto O’Rourke the Chosen one? Go back to the GOOGLE execs complaining after the 2016 elections that too many Latino voters voted for Trump. And GOOGLE paid for Get out the vote ops in the Latino communities.
I bet many Latino voters lied to the exit pollsters too and even more Latinos voted for Trump than they knew. I guess the election fraud was not enough. Also look at the Black vote and the Union vote that went to Trump. Stunning.

Beto doesn't necessary put Texas in play. Look closer at who made it close vs. Ted Cruz. Those are swingy whites. it was close B/C it was a good election for Democrats in the House, BC he spent millions on platitudes w.o vetting, and it was a Senate race. And guess what? He lost.
Beto only had a good launch day in the minds of white liberal journalists. Think Progress & others said he didn't bring much to the field. Pelosi struggled to cite a single accomplishment before mentioning his support for the environment (not a bill), Green groups disagreed.
Beto only had a good launch day in the minds of white liberal journalists (thread): Slate said Beto “brings the least to the Democratic primary.” Despite comparing those who make climate change proposals to “those who were on the beaches in Normandy," Slate 👎 his climate creds.

The thing that's scary about #Beto isn't so much his policy, or lack of it, which is slightly upgraded neoliberalism or whatever the party wants. It's that he is so much like candidate Michael Dukakis, and Al Gore, and John Kerry, and John Edwards, and...

they all lost.
He was for it before he was against it. Eerily familiar problem.

Of course.

Look, I don't know Chris Pratt, and I never will. I'm only familiar with his work onscreen. But I know how churches like @Hillsong work because I've attended a church like it. Let me take you on a tour of the culture. (thread)
Quick disclaimer: I'm a church-going Christian. I have my own personal relationship with God. I'm also a flaming liberal and a proud trans woman. I also am a big believer that people should mind their own goddamn business and keep religion out of government. So, with that...
Imagine that all the bad shit in Christianity remains but now it's dressed up in really soft, warm sermons and concert-like worship services with stage lights and fashionable preachers and a heavy emphasis on pop music and youth-centered messaging. Hateful w/ an Instagram charm.
