Facts about @GregAbbott_TX voucher scam!
Thank you @JonesJolanda for exposing Greg Abbot and republicans school voucher scam for rich WHITE folks.
White students constitute approximately 24% of Texas public school enrollment, yet they comprise roughly 41% of the students utilizing school vouchers.
This discrepancy raises eyebrows.
I was present when this legislation was enacted. Texans were misled into believing that vouchers would assist low-income families in enrolling their children in better schools.
Now, the true beneficiaries are becoming evident.
Taxpayer money is being used to subsidize private school tuition, while Black and Brown children from working-class families continue to attend public schools that Texas refuses to fully fund. ✊🏾
Black children deserve investment, Brown children deserve opportunities, and working families deserve better than to witness their tax dollars being diverted from their neighborhood schools. 📚
Be truthful. Fund public schools. Cease the deception. 🏫
If you believe that our tax dollars should support ALL of our children, kindly LIKE, SHARE, and COMMENT to raise awareness about the true situation. 📣

🚨🗞️Breaking News!
Jay-Z has just gotten in touch with the parents of the 3-year-old football star Nevada Pierre and told them he is willing to support his football career!
Nevada was subbed off from his game for being too good and scoring over 21 goals without losing the ball!
Jay-Z’s record label Roc Nation Sports branch has posted the young boy on their Instagram, joining Jay-Z to support him so he keeps playing football and pushing his dreams!
Nevada’s life has changed! We hope young boy gets the chance to walk out with Jay-Z at the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2027 February!
It will be a thing of beauty 😍

.@rolandsmartin and Ramogi Huma, executive director of the National College Players Association, break down the real impact of the Protect College Sports Act on Black athletes and HBCUs, the same institutions that built Black excellence and leadership for generations. Attorney and Texas State Rep @JonesJolanda brings her story into the conversation as a three-time NCAA champion, a Black woman who turned her athletic gift into a platform for justice. Her journey stands as living proof that Black athletes who generate real revenue for their schools deserve their fair share of that wealth.
Black communities built college sports into the powerhouse it is today through generations of talent, sweat, and sacrifice. Lawmakers pushing this bill see that Black economic power rising and move to cut it off before Black athletes and Black institutions claim their piece. Black organizations and Black voices who back the Protect College Sports Act hand our power back to a system that profited off Black talent for over a century.
Black excellence deserves Black compensation. Support HBCUs, support Black athletes, and stand firmly against any policy that keeps our wealth out of our own hands.

Really great testimony from @JonesJolanda (multi championship heptathlete!!) on #RMU today regarding the struggles endured by many college athletes, and why the “protect college sports act” is a con.

Well, Little Gov @DanPatrick's voters in rural Texas hate data centers so naturally he's leaning heavily into AI commercials

You’re very welcome. We called it during the House floor debate but republicans denied that it would happen. They lied! This was always their plan. Rob from poor Black and Brown schools to give welfare to rich private school parents! #Facts

Life is too short to spend every minute working.
I just watched the 2026 World Cup and discovered Lamine Yamal—and with him, Don Miguelo’s “Y Que Fue?” Next thing I knew, my mom, my son, my nephew, and I had turned our office conference room into a dance floor. 💃🏾🕺🏾
Even my 80-year-old mama joined in.
Work hard. Laugh harder. Make the memory. ❤️
If this made you smile, please LIKE, REPOST, FOLLOW, TAG someone who needs a laugh, and COMMENT!

لامين يامال بعد ما احتفل بفوز أسبانيا بكأس العالم قرر ياخد إجازة في بيت جدته بدل ما يقضيها في أفخم فنادق أوروبا بين أضواء الشهرة والعدسات، وساب كل ده وحزم شنطته ورجع لأصله ولبيت جدته
لامين أول ما دخل من الباب، ريحة الأكل المغربي الأصيل والدفء العائلي كانت مستنياه، الجدة استقبلته بأحضان ودموع الفرحة، وقدمت له طبق الكسـ.ـكسي والبسطيلة والرفيسة المخصوص اللي ما يتعوضش بأي أكل في العالم.
بس المفاجأة الحقيقية ما كانتش الأكل.. لامين فتح شنطته وطلع منها أغلى حاجة حققها، الكأس الذهب، وحطه بين إيدين جدته اللي كانت بتلمسه بذهول ودموعها في عينيها مش مصدقة إن طفلها الصغير بقى بطل العالم.
اللقطة دي اختصرت كل حاجة.. اختصرت إنسانية ولد ما نسيش جذوره ولا دعوات السجادة اللي كانت بتتفتح له في كل ماتش.
لامين يامال أثبت إن أعظم الكؤوس والجوائز في الدنيا ما لهاش أي قيمة، إلا لما تتحط في إيدين أكتر ناس تعبت وصبرت عشان تشوفك واصل للقمة.

Let’s be clear: @GregAbbott_TX doesn’t know a thing about Black Texans. And I DARE Abbott to come on #RolandMartinUnfiltered, a Black Texan, to discuss, instead of @FoxNews. My producer will be calling @GovAbbottPress TOMORROW.

rep. jolanda jones (D) points out there's actually no map available for people to comment on today & asks if the committee will hold public hearings after the map is released?
vasut says "the answer is 1000%" (very happy to hear this. first time i've heard him say that)

Thanks, right back at you! I appreciate you coming!
The road to blue runs through black voters! Shoutout to Rep. @JonesJolanda for hosting the good conversation!
