Texan in Virginia

Attorney interested in politics, healthcare, & nerdery. If you're looking for me at a party, I'll be at the cheese board. Tweets = my opinion only.

I wrote "VETO" on a check instead of "VOID." This is the kind of day I've had. #legislativesession

Sen. Murphy: “Spare me the bullshit about mental illness.

“We don't have any more mental illness than any other country in the world.

“You cannot explain this through a prism of mental illness because we don't we're not an outlier on mental illness.”

Is it Stockholm Syndrome, or is the "Chicken Wing" song my 7 YO listens to on repeat actually quite catchy?

@mkhammer I was surprised no kids called me out for wearing a fanny pack to my kid's field day this year. I suspect they already know to take pity on me for being "that mom." 🤪

Does anyone else worry the Russian troop withdrawal from Kyiv means Russia's about to strike the city w/bioweapons or something else? Guess I'm publicly posting my anxiety so I can attempt to go about my day.

No matter what happens now, @ZelenskyyUa has emerged as one of the great statesmen of 21st century Europe. A comic turned European hero, a champion of democracy, and national unity.

In the up-side down world of today, THIS is the man #Putin dared call a Nazi ...

@elonmusk, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand.

Dublin, Ireland. Angry crowd harasses a car carrying the Russian ambassador as it tries to enter the Embassy.

Ireland, I am proud of you.❤️🇮🇪

I'm praying Psalm 35 for this man and #Ukraine. Lord, hear our prayers!

Zelensky stays in #Kyiv

He recorded a video on Bankova Street along with other statesmen of #Ukraine.

Thus, he refuted the misinformation of Russian propagandists about his alleged escape from the city.

.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message.

Someone has probably already mentioned this. Even with all the magic, the most unbelievable part of @EncantoMovie is that only one family member ran away from the group living situation. #WeDontTalkAboutBruno

TSA Pre✔️is closed at @Reagan_Airport this morning in A Terminal & it seems to be some kind of set up to get people to pay for CLEAR. Long lines& frustrating for those of us who already went through Pre✔️.

These make sense to me. My daughter has had to be at home for a week due to exposure in "a classroom" but she's had several negative tests. Missing a week of 1st grade is tough!

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Thread on keeping schools running, kids healthy, parents reassured:
Weekly "universal testing" via classroom pooling to catch outbreaks; and "test to stay" with rapid antigen tests to catch infection/stop need to quarantine with daily individual tests (neg test stays in school).

I'm participating in the Bebe Moore Campbell Equity in Mental Health 5k in a few weeks, and I'm fundraising for it. I'd be so grateful if you'd consider contributing a few dollars on my behalf. https://t.co/iE9VcZQFnZ

You need to follow @sharon_says_so on Twitter and on Instagram. More of us want to work together & understand each other than the media & politicians would have us believe.

[Texan in Virginia @VtexanA]

This is why we've moved our kid to private school. @DrHutchings & @ACPSk12 are creating huge inequities by not going 5 days in-person. Families who can't move to private schools are suffering & the mental health of children is greatly deteriorating. #inequity #MentalHealthMatters

[Kirsten Borman Dougherty @kborman]

Thread! 🧵Last night Alexandria City Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Gregory Hutchings admitted that he cannot and will not open schools full time in the fall with the current CDC Guidelines. He accused @GovernorVA of "playing politics" -- Video here: https://t.co/HYu1u24th1

Try to hold back tears watching this Southern Californian mom break the news to her 4th grade daughter. #WhyWeFight
