Greg Abbott is about to sign his private school voucher bill into law.

Jeff Yass — the out-of-state billionaire who gave Abbott $12 million to pass vouchers — is in attendance.

Parents and teachers just dropped this banner across the street from the Governor’s mansion.

Donald Trump is the most unpopular 100-day-mark president in modern American history.

The little brewery in Shiner, 1915. A beautiful old kettle, isn't it? Thanks to Traces of Texas reader Darrell Webar for sending this stellar shot in!

The churchyard at All Saints in Stanhoe is covered in forget-me- nots. It's a beautiful scene. #forgetmenots #wildflowers #churchyard #Norfolk

Read my statement on my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.

What a cover. First 100 days.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

In Trump's first 100 days, he alienated us from our allies, crashed the stock market, decimated U.S. cancer research, expelled American toddlers, lost the Canadian election by proxy, and threatened your Social Security checks.

But at least he focused on the important stuff.

My California Girl album was released on this date in 2002. The album release coincided with the California Girl Tour, which kicked off in mid-May 2002 at Amoeba Hollywood and took us across the US with a few international dates. 

It’s a really good record if I do say so myself! It’s one of my best and "99 Miles from L.A.” is not only my favorite song on the set, it’s one of the best I ever recorded. 

Which song from California Girl is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below. 👇

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.

Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.

See how this works?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump's EPA has rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals.

It's estimated that these moves could result in 200,000 premature deaths by 2050.

Your Earth Day reminder that Donald Trump is a danger to our planet and our health.

The lilac loveliness of wisteria💜
It is named after the American physician Caspar Wistar & fills the air with clouds of scent - I wish you could smell it!💜

According to a Greek myth, Zeus thought he had given all the plants a name, when suddenly a small blue flower shouted ‘forget me not’.

Most people don’t understand how *new* most cancer treatments are. The treatment that cured my lymphoma was developed when I was a teenager. The treatments that will cure our children’s cancers are being put on hold right now.

And so it begins - perfumed carpets of bluebells are unfurling in the woodlands 💙🤍💜
When identifying UK bluebells look for the unique features of flowers clustered on one side (giving the distinctive tilt), scent & white anthers (as visible here!)💙🤍💜

[Jane E Hall @clothofnature]

On special days throughout the year, I record all the plants flowering in our wildlife habitat. Mindfully, I gather a single flower from each plant that can spare a bloom. This Easter Day, I gathered 27 different species, gently resting them together in this celebratory display—with love and gratitude.

The average person on SNAP receives around $187 per month. That's $6.16 per day.

House Republicans voted to gut $230 billion from food assistance programs like SNAP to give tax cuts to the rich.

From the mouths of the poor to the pockets of the rich. That's the Republican way.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

[The Salty Dog Galveston @SaltyDGalveston]

Fun Fact: The Port of Galveston is the oldest port in the Gulf of Mexico west of New Orleans. It was established by a proclamation issued by the Congress of Mexico on October 17, 1825.
