Don't make this political?!?! My husband is a teacher, and we have a kid in elementary. God forbid, if I ever lost one of them, don't you dare waste a tear or a breath being sad for us without also FURIOUSLY calling for action. This reality is UNACCEPTABLE.

A funny thing about teacher pay is how teachers that work at the affluent schools commute there from their poorer community since schools cannot pay teachers enough to afford to live where they work 💁🏼‍♀️

Adequate public education is in the Texas constitution by the way.

So any Republicans attacking public schools in Texas are quite literally violating your most fundamental constitutional rights that have been established since 1876.

@teainfo sabotaging public education? 🤔 it would explain a lot

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

A high-ranking Texas Education Agency official was caught on audio advocating for voucher-like programs on behalf of Gov. Greg Abbott.

He also said public school district funding could decrease if such a policy passes. https://t.co/1dsAjDBR7h

I am tired of patients only showing up the OR for the D&C they NEED once they're septic, needing blood, and near death 😡 Texas is torturing women!

[Joel Montfort @jmontforttx]

Paxton, who's married, has his real estate buddy hire his girlfriend and then appts a special counsel who goes after his buddy's enemies.
Underlings blow the whistle and are then fired by Paxton. Now taxpayers are footing the $3.3M settlement. #texasgop

@0liviajulianna Girl yes, I get it. Trying to work full time, but also be mom, and full time student. That's 3 full time jobs 😭 the best you can do is communicate.

[Amanda @VivaciousTeapot]

@AshleyGWinter If AI wants to get the OR ready for me, I would loooove to never have to smell that ever again 😂

[Amanda @VivaciousTeapot]

@emilykmay Isn't it soooo weird how my ex could molest a young child and then I was the one that initiated divorce??? Like, just so screw ball odd how men can be out here doing the worst, and then we commit the criminal act of divorcing them.

Greg will ban a social media app before banning the guns used to murder our children.

[Governor Abbott Press Office @GovAbbottPress]

Today, I’m announcing a plan to ban TikTok in Texas.

It’s critical that state agencies are protected from the Chinese Communist Party as they work on behalf of Texans.

Doesn’t do anything after Santa Fe. ✅
Doesn’t do anything after El Paso. ✅
Doesn’t do anything after the freeze. ✅
Doesn’t do anything after Uvalde. ✅
Doesn’t do anything about the countless lives lost. ✅

Wants to ban TikTok.

You can’t make this shit up.

Same goes for you cisgender people, what with your HRT (birth control + some hair loss medications) & gender affirming surgeries (nose jobs, breast augmentation, etc) to feel more comfortable in your bodies...

Ummm on Friday 🤣

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

Have you ever placed the crash cart right outside a patient’s room to ‘ward off the evil spirits’? Tell the truth.

[Amanda @VivaciousTeapot]

Oh hiiiiii

[Sara Spector @Miriam2626]

19 child coffins in Uvalde.
And Congressional Republicans paying homage with AR-15 lapel pins to the weapon that blew off their faces.

[Amanda @VivaciousTeapot]

@GregAbbott_TX Refusing to do anything to keep our children from being murdered in school is a dereliction of duty, Greg.

[Brett Pransky @BrettPransky]

A guy walked into a junior high in my district today, took out a gun, and killed himself with it. Right in front of everyone.

It would have been a national story back when we were sane.

But today, no coverage. It's not a story.

It's just a Thursday in #Ohio.

[Tony Plohetski @tplohetski]

In a rare front-page editorial, @statesman sharply criticizes the city and Austin Energy response to this week’s ice storm.
“Public transparency during a massive power outage allows people to make potentially life-saving decisions.”

@AlejandroForTX At least I have to be at work so early, there were very few other cars on the road with me this morning.

@ScottUhlTX @GregAbbott_TX My boss's sister works for ERCOT and has assured me, NOTHING has been done 👍
