The other day we learned a majority of our city council members are part of the @leadershipatx club before getting elected.

But that is not the only thing that connects them.

@YStrategyUnited (Y Strategy) has helped several of the anti-police progressive candidates get elected.

It is run by #MykleTomlinson

Mykle has worked w/ Mark Yznaga & Mark Littlefield on several PAC Campaigns.

Mr. Yznaga is married to @AnnKitchenATX
Some campaigns Mykle has worked on:

โŒ"Safe Mobility Bond" which brought us failed expensive Vision Zero Goals
โŒ"Project Connect" which gets more expensive each year
โŒ"Central Health & Keep Austin Healthy", a health system that doesn't provide healthcare as promised.
Mykle's partner in crime is Mark Littlefield (@littlefieldmark)

Mark is notorious for working backroom deals to profit off any project that passes in Austin

The largest project he worked on to this date was Prop A for Project Connect
Did you know Project Connect benefits 2 of his Clients @StratusAlwaysOn & @Endeavor_RE who have countless properties along the planned rail lines?
If you weren't aware of this you probably also aren't aware that Mark's wife Jennifer is friends with Roni Wilson the wife of Todd Wilson. Todd is the Chief Financial Officer for @PapeDawson that won the bid for #ProjectConnect

๐—”๐—˜๐—–๐—ข๐—  - Friends w/ Daron Butler now former Executive Vice President of AECOM & former Ass. City Manager for Austin
2nd largest City Project was the @AustinFC stadium where he consulted on the project. He worked very closely w/ @MayorAdler.

Now he is the Special Assistant to @KirkPWatson

Isn't nice that @AustinFC received a 30-year property tax break & then lobbies in our local elections.
In 2021 Mark worked w/ @JimAWick @Davidbutts & Mr. Tomlinson to try & subvert our elections under the guise of "Austinites for Progressive Reform"

It would eliminate city managers' role which they compared to the "Jim Crow Era", create Democracy Dollars, & Ranked Choice Voting
Democracy Dollars are what Political Campaign Consultants want. It makes their job easier to raise funds by using taxpayer dollars to fund campaigns.

Just another tool for lobbyists to manipulate elections.
Alaskan residents are currently fighting to repeal the ranked-choice voting experiment that passed back in 2020.

If the Strong-Mayor policy passed it would have given @KirkPWatson the power to enforce the progressive failed "Re-Imagine Policing" even further. Breeding an environment of higher lawlessness like San Francisco or Chicago.

Austinites for Progressive Reform coalition like many other progressive coalitions vanished after its campaign was complete.
Mark might portray himself as a moderate democrat, but behind the scenes, he is driving the progressive policies that ruin this city.

He is a big supporter of @GregCasar & @HillaryClinton @BillClinton

Yesterday we broke down @leadershipatx board members and some of their alumni.

Today we are going to look at what they are teaching.

@Mayoradlers Task Force on Institutional Racism & Systemic Inequities approved "Beyond Diversity"

This course was implemented back in 2019
@MayorAdler and his task force hired "Courageous Conversations" aka Pacific Educational Group in 2017 to teach city employees "Beyond Diversity" education.

Totaling $60,300, before @leadershipatx adopted the training into their program.

Their Mission: We connect and develop leaders to courageously engage and transform our communities

The same county that has been littered with election scandals.

She ended her career at the mismanaged @AUStinAirport before becoming CEO of @leadershipatx

Now that we've established that @TidesCommunity & #sixteenthirtyfund bankrolls Soros's Network of nonprofits and left-wing organizations.

We must ask who is @mike_nellis?
Mike started his career as a Project Coordinator with @TidesCommunity, two years later he moved to Austin Texas & started working for "Greenlights for Nonprofits Success" now known as @Mission_Capital where @KirkPWatson sat on the board between 2003-2004.

In 2015 @ATXJustice launched as a grassroots, activist-led organization. On the surface it emulated what every normal citizen could stand behind and support.
They grew little momentum over the years and didn't really become a major player in city politics until 2020 when they teamed up with @GregCasar to push zero racial disparity in traffic stops and use-of-force incidents by Austin police officers.
