After picking up the World Title in the Women's 800 freestyle, Katie Ledecky has officially surpassed Michael Phelps for the most individual titles in swimming history with 16...
Incredible.
🚨🚨🚨 Holy shit: A group of parents in Tennessee are OUTRAGED that a local school board caved to a conservative group and cancelled a librarian’s Mother's Day lesson inclusive to kids without moms.
The parents boldly confronted the Hamilton County School Board and held nothing back:
One dad said, “This is 2023. I'm a Christian man, married to a woman, but I think everyone should be represented fairly. If you want to keep your kids in a closet and just shelter them from everything, homeschool them. Send them to Christian school. This is a public school for everyone. Everyone. I've dealt with that woman. She loves these kids.”
The organization Moms for Liberty is a right-wing organization that campaigns against social progress and civil rights. They target local school board meetings and has deep connections to the Republican Party. Moms for Liberty also promoted stripping districts of protective COVID-19 measures and are bad news.
Thank you to these brave parents for speaking out! 💙💙💙
BREAKING: The Raise The Age bill just passed 8-5 out of committee in Texas!!
Survivors of Uvalde and Moms Demand Action pushed hard to make 21 the minimum age to buy an AR-style rifle. Today was the LAST DAY to get it done. And they did!
The NRA knows this is huge because, if sane gun reform can be done in Texas, it can be done ANYWHERE in America.
But the NRA is hoping people will forget about this victory. They want us to be shocked into silence, feeling hopeless.
That's why it's CRITICAL to get the good news out, and make sure it does NOT end here.
House Bill 2744 not only raises the age to 21, it also prohibits selling guns to someone who's intoxicated or has an active protective order. Finally.
Change is coming to my home state of Texas. We will win.
Teaching is an emotional profession, and on very rare days for me, that emotion is just too damn heavy.
Today was that day for me.
Hug your people, friends. Tell your students they matter. None of us knows what others are going through.
This is what TEACHERS do!!!
A teacher noticed students were struggling to communicate with a deaf cafeteria worker, so she taught them sign language.

Every day. Every class. All day long.
Me: “So today we’re going to _____.”
Student: “OH MY GOD BRO… you do too much. These teachers always be trying to start with us!”

@its_lexx15 I totally understand and agree. I wish home ec classes could be offered for those who grow up with sucky or absent parents. But there’s a point where schools can only do some much unfortunately
