While first introduced in 2013, Shelby Slawson & Bryan Hughes in March 2021 led SB8 to becoming law in May 2021. There's never an appropriate time to point out this fact, but the new Texas law banning abortions, which authorizes the public as vigilantes who can legally sue in civil court anyone who aids & abets a woman seeking an abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy is filled with irony...

There's been a lot of talk about the boost @JoeBiden received from @WhipClyburn in #SouthCarolinaPrimary that propelled him into a strong #SuperTuesday w/endorsements from @PeteButtigieg @amyklobuchar & @BetoORourke. But I haven't heard ANY talk about these deep issues. 1/16. Image In every city the Most Vulnerable Population (MVP) students are served by the WORST schools. This is a 20th century segregationist relic that undermines the education of America's black and Hispanic youth, whose talents and skills we need to bolster US competitiveness. 2/16 Image

Most Americans have never been taught anything about the "Negro American Revolution." This explains why educators, media, clergy, pundits and politicos struggle to understand today's socioeconomic and political battlegrounds. Just 53 years ago, the govt spelled it out. 1/13 "The US is approaching a new crisis in race relations. In this period expectations of Negro Americans will go beyond civil rights. They will expect equal opportunities for them will produce roughly equal results as compared with other groups. This is not going to happen." 2/13
