Jasmine Crockett didn’t just launch a #Senate run — she lit a match under Trump’s fragile ego. The ad is sharp, fearless, and pure Texas energy. If the GOP wants to play insult politics, she’s showing up bilingual in that language. Texas hasn’t felt this electric in years. Sen. Crocket? Yeah!

Printable Know Your Rights cards for English-language learners (and their families) available in 10 languages from @aaaj-aajc.bsky.social www.advancingjustice-aajc.org/publication/... (and factsheets in English/Spanish)
![Image of a Know Your Rights card reading:
Know Your Rights: English Learner Students
English learner students (ELs) have the right to participate equally and
meaningfully in school even if they don’t speak or understand English.
Federal law requires schools to provide appropriate language assistance services to ELs so they become proficient in speaking, listening, reading, and writing English and can participate in regular school programs.
Some states may have more protections for ELs and their families.
Schools must meaningfully communicate with guardians who have limited English proficiency—this usually means providing accurate written translation or oral interpretation free of charge.
Scan the QR code to learn more about the rights of English learner students and their families under federal law.
For more information, please contact one of the organizations listed below: [Logos of Asian Americans Advancing Justice, Legal Defense Fund, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law and Latino Justice]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:slmwtlcdyz7qdjumfebczgpq/bafkreia7xsqdpvckrzuwyuqnpifwpelsjhyrrla4dvx26y45s3saxvqqxq@jpeg)

$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need
