The state of Texas is sending public school students home with DNA kits designed to help their parents identify their children “in case of an emergency.” https://t.co/avV4FB1K3L
Child's school: Child's sick days and mental health days require a doctor's note.
ER nurse mom working in an overburdened, under resourced healthcare system: *taps mic* No.
Requiring a doc's note encourages ppl to send sick kids to school. Asinine policy.
Abbott said the state is going to pay to make emergency contraception readily available through hospitals or clinics as a response to rape.
Right now, it's not offered under the state's Family Planning Program nor the Healthy Texas Women Program: https://t.co/gNETYGpzWw
This scheme by @RonDeSantisFL & @GregAbbott_TX only works with cooperation from individuals: bureaucrats, bus companies, air charter co’s, bus drivers, pilots. It’s not enough to say you’re following orders. These are moral/ethical choices. https://t.co/1jytDfjvqp
It’s almost like they’re using vulnerable people to distract from the fact that they overturned a woman’s right to choose and they’re coming for marriage equality.
Don’t let them.
To reporters in Texas who have access to @GregAbbott_TX:
Please ask him why he refuses to inform NYC of migrant buses set to arrive here. This hinders our ability to mobilize to receive them. What is the point of withholding this info? (Other than the cruelty)

#TXcommunitycolleges meet students where they are!

Greg Abbott took money from juvenile justice facilities to fund his border stunts.
Now kids are locked in windowless cells for 23 hours a day and peeing in water bottles.
I’m demanding @GregAbbott_TX call a special session to fix this. We need a governor, not a stuntman.
There IS such thing as HYBRID immunity.
New study from Denmark demonstrates
3x vaxx + prior omicron infection -> 94% protection against BA.2 or BA.5 infection.
3x vaxx + delta -> 46% protection
3x vaxx + alpha -> 65% protection

“With $0 allocated to early education and care — a dramatic shift from the $400 billion promised in an earlier House package — the Senate’s plan would exclude critical funding for affordable, quality child care and neglect a generation of young learners.” https://t.co/g4gx19fv1k
