“I was in Houston public schools during the McCarthy Era, and [the school] board alternated every couple of years, and it would sometimes be run by the Minute Women. And the Minute Women were the female equivalent of the John Birch Society.” https://www.texasobserver.org/trump-public-education-diane-ravitch/

From @josephinelee in our magazine: About 410,000 U.S. residents report Taiwanese ancestry, and 8.5 percent of them live in #Texas. Houston has the state’s largest Tawanese-American community, and it remains a hotbed for Taiwanese nationalism.

“If you want to beat Donald Trump, get Kamala #Harris to stop killing Arab people!”

Activists for #Palestine repeatedly interrupted the Kamala Harris / Beyoncé rally in #Houston on October 25, demanding an end to genocide. The crowd reacted with hostility, even throwing a bottle at the head of one protester. Two members of the group reached out to me to discuss their experiences, out today in Deceleration: https://deceleration.news/protesters-disrupt-harris-houston-rally-to-demand-an-end-to-genocide/

A group of about 10 protesters disrupted the Kamala Harris rally in #Houston last month, demanding an end to U.S. support for Israeli genocide in #Palestine. They faced hostility, even violence from the audience.
