On April 10, the Texas House will gather to cast one of its most important votes of this legislative session - passing its version of the state budget. While about seven weeks of the legislative session still remain, ‘House Budget Night’ is a decisive moment for many legislative efforts.

House members can support these efforts this Thursday, April 10 by voting for any amendments to the budget that increase the basic allotment and/or increase teacher pay. What happens on April 10 will set the table for what is possible for the rest of the session. Ask your House member to fund our schools and invest in our teachers now!

Watch our new video on #TexasPreK: https://t.co/nwMMgsO9PJ

The future of Texas is in our public schools and pre-K is one of the most effective solutions for improving student success.
The efficacy of full-day pre-K is unmatched. In 2023, 41% of pre-K students demonstrated proficiency in emergent literacy-reading at the beginning of the school year. By the end of the year, that number soared to 83%, highlighting the transformative power of pre-K. By investing in early education, we're giving our kids the best start in life. Our children are worth that investment.

@NPRextra @AKMcGlinchy @KUT For anyone in Austin worried about abortion access, I’m throwing a party called Texorcism on Friday. We’re dressing like witches & casting spells before we cast ballots to cast the demons outta the TX Capitol:

"Would this man rape me for $10,000? I honestly haven't found many men that I trust who put me above that imaginary bounty."

Dating & sex have changed (for some!) under Texas' abortion ban. Grateful to @AKMcGlinchy for tackling this story.

Apparently if you’re a woman living in a forced birth state, white people will target you on social media on the off chance you have a baby to give away.

To new parents, learn how to burp on command, it's really handy when they are 5-8 years old.
