Calvin Terrell is openly calling ICE the “slave patrol,” comparing America and POTUS to fascism, telling activists to mask up, and urging people to “risk it all for justice.”

At the same time, Phoenix-area schools are bringing him in under the banner of “cultural awareness.”

Parents have every right to ask:
How much taxpayer money is funding this?
What exactly is being taught to students?
And why are political activists being embedded in public schools in the first place?
Does he have a classroom at Betty Fairfax High?

We are just getting started on this one…. 🔗 https://www.thestate48news.com/p/phoenix-schools-platforming-calvin

⬇️This is an excerpt from a post that he made from a high school in Phoenix.

Breaking: The Maricopa BOS tried to take control of elections. The court just said NO.

A judge ruled the Board overstepped its authority and ordered everything handed back to the Recorder… systems, staff, and control.

This was a power grab and it just got shut down.

There is no way to spin this — HEAP WINS & the people of Maricopa who voted for him.

Orders:
✔️ Return IT systems + staff
✔️ Fund the Recorder’s office
✔️ Stop interfering

“These are not glitches. These are crimes.”

That’s what Rep. John Gillette told lawmakers while presenting evidence of voter roll irregularities and sending a federal criminal referral.

During a legislative hearing, Gillette presented evidence of voter registration anomalies tied to systems involving MVD, ServiceArizona, county recorders, and the Secretary of State’s office.

“These are not glitches,” Gillette told lawmakers.
“These are on purpose.”

One flashpoint involved an email from former Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer to county recorders after a legislative records request.

Gillette questioned why recorders would coordinate responses.

“Why would that happen if you’re not trying to hide something?” he said.

The referral will now be sent to federal investigators.

🚨This five-minute clip is a gut punch.

Maricopa County removes more children than anywhere in America. Sixty-three percent of black children here will face a DCS investigation. In 2022 alone, 25 children died in state custody—and every year continues to bring an alarming number of deaths.

The system is broken. Reform bills are on the table. Most Democrats voted no or refused to take a position.

Watch this. Link to full story below.

🚨Pinal County collected $80 million under a tax later ruled illegal. Many of the residents who paid it will never see their money again.

When the Board of Supervisors gets it wrong, taxpayers don’t always get made whole. Illegal to collect, legal to keep?
