First check that your blade is parallel to the fence. Then take some thin aluminum angle stock and mount it to the fence with one flange down against the table pointing to the blade. You place your board stock on top of the aluminum angle so it will not slip under the fense. Next thing is to push only on the secton of board between the blade and the fence, forcing it to stay against the fence. All looks like you are trying to cut too fast, slow down your feed rate let the blade do the work.

If it still will not cut straight then the motor arbor is moving off axis or in and out and will need to be rewworked.
