"When a student knows that you care about them, when they know that you're a human, their academic performance is going to be better." That's the power of relationships in schools. 🫶

Enrollment of Latino students in institutions of higher education saw a new all time high in 2022, but difficulties, particularly with affordability and accessibility, make it hard for Latino students to remain enrolled. https://t.co/De7uuKcuk4

Raquel Welch, born Jo Raquel Tejada, has died at the age of 82.

''Latinos are here to stay,'' Raquel told an audience at a 2002 National Press Club luncheon. ''As citizen Raquel, I'm proud to be Latina.''

What if our public tax dollars were used by TEA @teainfo--the very agency charged with protecting #txed--to run a political campaign, in collusion with @GregAbbott_TX's office, to get vouchers passed in #txlege?

You can't make this corruption up.

RIP Jo Raquel Tejada aka Raquel Welch. She was an actress, beauty icon, and proud daughter of a Bolivian aeronautical engineer.

While Hollywood pushed aside her Bolivian heritage, she would later embrace her culture.

“The essence of who I am is Latina.”

38,000 Texans had their license to carry denied, revoked, or suspended over the last five years because law enforcement deemed them too dangerous to carry a loaded gun in public.

But thanks to Greg Abbott’s new law, they don't need a license to carry anymore.

I'm glad @POTUS will extend the pause on student loan repayments. It will help so many.

But I think he needs to go further. We've got to ease the burden, not merely delay it.

Let's start by canceling up to $50,000 in debt per borrower.

And let's do it now, Mr. President.
