To all the politicians claiming books and drag queens are the greatest threat to our kids…

THIS is the leading cause of death for children in the United States.

If you’re not doing something about guns, you’re not really concerned about our kids. #txlege

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.

My sweet Mama ended up taking on the role of campaign Momager during this election. She stuffed thousands of lit packets and helped coordinate hundreds of volunteers. Her only ask was a pic of her chosen candidates in her ‘sign garden’. Of course we couldn’t say no!

shoutout to every teacher who still calls frontline "AESOP".

@dfwjwb @bicycletourat50 @CollierForTexas State employees do.

@dfwjwb @bicycletourat50 @CollierForTexas Even if you have paid 40 quarters your benefit is cut. This applies to spousal benefits as well. I've worked 40 quarters, including time at a district that did pay into SS.

[Mike Collier @CollierForTexas]

Not enough Texans know that retired teachers do not have access to social security.

Teachers are entirely reliant on the state for their retirement.

That's why as Lt. Governor I will fight tooth-and-nail to finally give our retired teachers a cost-of-living-adjustment.

[Christine Carter @LonghornCarter]

@Chuy4RRISD They also do not have a library or certified librarian. It's time to do better.

[Christine Carter @LonghornCarter]

These are the candidates who support our students, teachers, and community.

[Safe Schools For TX @Safeschools4Tx]

Round Rock residents have a choice to make - they can vote in a school board that prioritizes divisiveness, or one that prioritizes the safety of our children in welcoming schools that value their educators. We think the choice is clear! @tiffanie4rrisd @Chuy4RRISD

[Southlake Together @Southlake4All]

A prescient reminder of what happens when your school board gets taken over. We’ve seen a similar and rapid backslide in Southlake Carroll, where politics are now centered instead of students.

@LibnOfCongress @librarycongress @lizzo OMG! You just made this librarian/flautist/Lizzo fan's day!!! I would love to see this collection in person!

[Carla Hayden @LibnOfCongress]

The @librarycongress has the largest flute collection in the world with more than 1,800. It incl Pres James Madison’s 1813 crystal flute.
@lizzo we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you are in DC next week. Like your song they are “Good as hell.”😉

[Christine Carter @LonghornCarter]

@_delconte Please pay those bartenders more, then. They have lost all of the alcohol sales from the folks sitting next to that section that are now blocked, and most students aren't buying.

[TXFReadomFighters @FReadomFighters]

We welcome #BannedBooksWeek - an opportunity in these heated times to remind everyone ways that #BooksUniteUs. It's a week to talk about the importance of the #FReadom to read and what it means to our democracy and for our students.

[Christine Carter @LonghornCarter]

@_delconte It would be great if the Stubb's Band Cam actually showed the band. 🤘🥁

[Lai💔 @laybeonthat]

As I stroll on TikTok, I keep seeing parents video their children reacting to The Little Mermaid trailer. So instead of focusing so much on the negative, I thought I’d show a thread of the little black kids who are excited to see their favorite princess look like them.

[Emily Forney @EmilyKaitlinnn]

I love maps in books. Like when the end papers are detailed maps? Gold tier. But you know what we should have more of? Floor plans. Blueprints. Show me the apartment layout. Give me the boarding school sketches. In every genre. Our love interests are stuck in a hotel? Draw it
