That year, Coleman was awarded “Lawman of the Year” by @JohnCornyn, the same year @repmccaul went to work for Cornyn at the Texas Attorney General’s office as Deputy AG. #TX10 https://t.co/CsNWtCwZ8n

No drugs, no money, & no weapons. Coleman’s case landed 38 convictions with sentences up to 90 years, which grossly incentivized these already-terrorized defendants to plead guilty for lesser sentences. (= Andrew Lichtenstein) https://t.co/Q2L0QBKz6l

The evidence? Only the sole-testimony of a racist & completely disgraced undercover cop named Tom Coleman who had no additional corroborating evidence, despite claiming he kept track of case notes *written on his legs*.

Over 10% of #Tulia’s Black population was handcuffed & paraded out of their homes in front of tipped-off TV camera crews. Many defendants weren’t even allowed to get dressed. A local newspaper headline read “Tulia’s Streets Cleared of Garbage.”

Early in the morning of July 23rd, 1999 in #Tulia, a town of roughly 5,000 in the Texas panhandle south of Amarillo, law enforcement officers arrested 46 people, of which 39 were Black, on charges of dealing cocaine.

How my congressional race in #TX10 relates to the most notorious incident of racist Texas law enforcement in the last 20 years, a THREAD: (= @courthouselover on Flickr) https://t.co/bgPRT8WzwK

On @60Minutes with Ed Bradley in 2003, @NAACP_LDF President Elaine Jones summarized the affair: “All of the law enforcement officers in Texas, who knew of Coleman’s checkered past, said & did nothing at the time of these trials …” https://t.co/D7PFjm5Yhi

Good morning y’all! Today is a rare treat: early voting on a Sunday! Polling locations are open 12-6. It’s a great opportunity to vote without lines. Make sure to keep your distance, wear a mask and be safe! #TX10 https://t.co/WWFLzXCWP0

Today, let's acknowledge there are different visions of liberty. Trump promotes white nationalism, economic exploitation and a culture of intolerance. Our Constitution promises life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Pick your side. #4thofJuly2020 https://t.co/a2UnJAKcFt

This is just Trump giving up. No strategy; just hot air and letting us die. Four months until we vote him out. QT @GeoffRBennett: NEW: 'We need to live with it': White House readies new message for the nation on coronavirus https://t.co/KsVb76v1cd)

White nationalists are increasingly emboldened. A supporter shared these with me today. He found this hateful provocation fixed to mailboxes across his community in Cypress (just east of Houston). We’ve got serious work to do, y’all. Keep marching. #TX10 https://t.co/lehkKFAm6z

We celebrate the fight for equality! And the legacy of Black and trans women as leaders of the struggle. #Stonewall #Pride #BlackLivesMater #BlackTransLivesMatter https://t.co/aXXTS2WM1w

I am honored to earn the @SierraClub endorsement as we fight for clean air, clean water and a stable climate! This campaign is backed by labor unions, environmental organizations, and youth-led movements because we are all working for a sustainable future — together. #TX10 https://t.co/r1bm7TLM8x

No one should have to pass monuments to hatred and slavery as we go to work, get married or vote. We are working to tear down these monuments, in Texas across their nation. For ourselves and our childre — for the dream of justice and equality for all. https://t.co/UZlcoqJWup

As a former 3rd and 5th grade teacher who performed in school talent shows (Backstreet Boys and NSYNC songs, thank goodness before camera phones)...this warms my heart so much.
