It’s important to listen to how we feel even though we are just kids, it affects our daily lives and our overall mood. I hear students talking about it every minute of everyday.

It seems like every day, Justice Clarence Thomas’ ethical issues get worse. Here’s what we’ve learned – just in the past few weeks: GOP mega donor and billionaire Harlan Crow paid for Thomas’ grandnephew to go to school – thousands of dollars in private school tuition for a child that Thomas was “raising as a son” [1] … Leonard Leo, a prominent leader of the Federalist Society, secretly directed tens of thousands of dollars to Thomas’ wife through the same nonprofit group that, later that year, went on to file a brief in the disastrous, anti-voter Shelby County v. Holder case that gutted the Voting Rights Act [2]… And this deluge of corruption news all came in the wake of a bombshell ProPublica report revealing that Clarence Thomas has been going on undisclosed luxury vacations on Harlan Crow’s dime [3]. Why are wealthy right-wing donors giving the Thomas family so much money – and what are they getting in return? We can’t let these massive ethical questions go unanswered – but without a Supreme Court code of conduct, we have no way to ensure our justices are acting with integrity, impartiality, and respect for the law. Our highest court cannot be its own referee when it comes to its ethics. Tell Congress to pass a Supreme Court code of conduct.

If we pass this reform, Chicago will set the standard for police accountability for cities across the country. Chicago communities deserve nothing less. See more details about the legislation here: https://chicagojustice.org/psta/

This is our MOMENT to prove to ALL media outlets, especially CNN ownership, democracy is NOT a sport! And it’s fragility will NOT be dangled in front of us as if WTP are helpless and have to take it. We ARE NOT helpless! We can make a difference. PLEASE BE the difference needed that will hold media entities like CNN accountable for giving EVIL, CORRUPT Humans, platform to further divide and BREAK OUR Democracy! We will NOT TAKE THIS anymore!!

Word from chances family! “Today is a very sad day for our family, and I wanted to make this post in hopes that this doesn't happen to anyone elses family and what you would do in this situation. These pictures are of my dog chance, I've had him since he was a puppy. He was a family dog. We also have a cat and a weiner dog that are chances brother and sister as well. Today I left to go to a job orientation in Frankfort while there I got a call from Cass county dispatch that my dog got out. So someone that knew my dog and knew he belongs to me must have called. I answered the call on a break and tried to figure out how to get my dog back into the fenced in area or into my house. I had trouble getting a hold of someone so I called county dispatch back and asked if they could tranquilize him and take him to the pound until I got back. They transferred me to the county marshall in the Cass Walton area because we live in Walton. So I repeated to the town marshall name Tom to tranquilize my dog since he couldn't be caught and take him to the pound and I'll take care of it when I got home. As I finish this statement the town marshall Tom proceeds to tell me that he shot my dog in cold blood. He said my dog was aggressive and the funny thing is the animal control guy was in the area as well right along with him as well. My dog has never bite anyone. He goes to the vet has updated shot records and has never wore a mussel to anyone of these places. My dog was found with a perfect bullet shot to the head right next door to my house in abandoned yard and house next to mine. Chance has never been aggressive to anyone. He was hyper and loved to get out and run. He never hurt any other animals and loved my 13 year old son and his friends. And now my sweet family dog lays dead in the ground in this picture with a bag over him. The statement the town. Marshall Tom then made to me was he don't tranquilize dogs and take them to the pound the pound is full. I called the cass county human society and that in turn was a lie that this town marshall told me. So while I wasn't at home and at a job my sweet chance was shot in killed in cold blood with animal control standing right there to watch it and let it happen as well. I hope and pray that no other family in this area has to be lied to and endure this deep pain and sadness of losing a family pet like we did. Rest in peace chance 🙏❤️ we love you boy😢🐶 please feel free to share this post so maybe other families in this area won't have to bare the broken 💔 we have thank you.”

If allowed to pass, this proposed bill would put real families out of work, the wine selection for the consumer would suffer and local winegrowers would be forced to downsize.

I feel that my campaign is important because the youth is the future and teenagers who don’t get into trouble should never be brought into trouble. Every where there are trouble teens but teens who are 100% innocent and incarcerated I just find it very difficult to just let these young men be incarcerated for something they did not do. And I will not stand for PONCHATOULA police department arresting innocent kids

The corruption and conflicts of interest in our education system cannot go unchecked any longer. Our children's futures are on the line, and it's up to all of us to take action and demand change. We must hold our leaders accountable and support the state-appointed board of managers to fix the systemic problems at La Joya ISD. Together, we can make a difference and create a brighter future for our community. It's time to stand up for our children and demand that the La Joya Independent School District accepts the recommendation to replace the current school board with a state-appointed board of managers. Join us in supporting the TEA's efforts to fix the issues at La Joya ISD. Show your support by signing and sharing this petition to let the TEA know that they are welcome and needed in our community. We cannot allow a handful of individuals with their own interests at heart to hold our children's futures hostage any longer. It's time to put an end to this nightmare and start rebuilding our community in the right direction. Together, we can make a real difference and give our children the education they deserve.

This petition to allow students at Annex Prepatory Academy to wear leggings during the upcoming Gradventure universal trip is gaining support. Currently, the dress code policy does not allow students to wear tight or loose clothing, which can be uncomfortable in temperatures reaching 90 degrees. Denim or cargo pants can be heavier than cotton leggings, leading to suffocation or heat exhaustion. Students argue that leggings are made of comfortable cooling materials and are ideal for long walks under the scorching sun. Moreover, leggings are sportswear that allows students to run around an amusement park like Universal without any hindrance. If necessary, shirts can be worn long enough to cover any inappropriate areas. The policy is deemed unfair and unreasonable, as students from other schools are allowed to wear leggings on similar field trips. So please be considerate, take into account our concerns, and hopefully take action and make an exception for this exciting trip.

We must urge the Department to strengthen its Title IX rule so that transgender, nonbinary, and intersex (people born with natural variations in sex-linked characteristics) youth can access the full benefits of an education, including by playing school sports as they are. Defending this right is crucial for these students’ well-being and ability to learn without discrimination. Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students have been playing sports with their peers for many years and with zero problems! In fact, barring trans women and girls from playing with other women and girls harms all women and girls because it can allow anyone to accuse any student athlete of not “really” being a woman or a girl. Many times, this leads to “sex testing,” which includes horrific and invasive practices like genital inspections or hormonal tests for students to “prove” their gender. The Department should explicitly state that requiring sex testing of student athletes violates Title IX because such testing causes significant harm to affected students and is never necessary to advance an important educational objective. Sex testing invades students' privacy, is often enforced arbitrarily based on prejudice, and sends deeply stigmatizing and damaging messages to all youth that are completely inconsistent with a supportive educational environment. Discriminating against and demonizing some students because of who they are or how they look directly violates Title IX. Add your name as part of the public comment period (“Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Athletics Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance,” 88 Fed. Reg. 22860, Docket ID ED-2022-OCR-0143). Urge the Department to finalize and strengthen the Department’s Title IX rule to provide strong, clear protections for transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students to participate fully in sports consistent with their gender identity.

Athletes should be given the same opportunity to compete at the highest level of their ability, especially when all are required to compete in a qualification round. If athletes are vying for the same available spots, no competitive advantage should be awarded to any athlete.

SB2593 would not improve community safety, it would disproportionately harm marginalized and vulnerable people and destroy Texas families. In the interest of justice and community safety, the undersigned Texans call on the Texas House of Representatives and the Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence in particular to BLOCK SB2593 from advancing toward law.
