These lies are pissing me off. This isn’t about health care for undocumented immigrants – that’s already against the law. It’s about the fact that Republicans are intentionally skyrocketing your premiums.
Hi Friends,
I want to make sure my students have exactly what they need to succeed, so I've created a project through DonorsChoose, the nonprofit classroom funding site for public school teachers.
Here's my project:

Our governor is bringing us to the state capitol to play political games
To do the bidding of Donald Trump and his billionaire friends. - @jamestalarico#txlege
I’m in Austin calling out Trump and Abbott’s sham redistricting scheme.
There’s no map. No plan. Just a backroom power grab—all to bend the knee to the Felon in the White House.
Trying to rip apart TX-29 to rig the next election is shameful and we will meet the moment. We will fight fire with fire.

I truly do not care if food stamps cover junk food.
It doesn't affect me.
But do you know who it does affect?
The kid who wouldn't get a birthday cake otherwise.
The one who only knows what it's like to say
"no" in the snack aisle.
The one who just wants to feel like every other child for one day.
Let them have the cake.
Let them have the chips at the birthday party.
Let them feel normal because poverty is already isolating enough.
If you've never had to choose between groceries and gas, sit this one out.
Because food stamps aren't your business
But kindness should be. Via April Dickens
Happy National Assistant Principals Week! Hope you are feeling all the appreciation for the wonderful work you do at your campuses. Keep inspiring tomorrow's future 🥰@Mrivas7Rivas@Clopez121299
This is another reason why teachers are leaving #HISD. Mike Miles wants to take away the defined workday. Teachers are being asked to work on Saturdays and Sundays and 10 to 12 hours during the week @BradBuckleyDVM@GinaForAustin@RepMorales145@RepPennyMShaw
Our top story: If the voucher bill were to pass, select private companies could soon be reeling in tens and even hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars per year. We took a closer look at who stands to gain the most. https://t.co/N5lhpa1t5w
@GregAbbott_TX No to vouchers! Texas is already feeling the negative impact of vouchers and your work to destroy public education. You don't care about our children. I support my community schools and choose them for my kids.
Yesterday Stephen Mackey went to the capital at 7:30 am to testify on HB3. He did not get to testify until 12:45 am this morning. He stayed there all day and then delivered a powerful testimony on behalf of Blanco and all public schools here in Texas. @THSCAcoaches#HB3
While HISD has stonewalled public information requests for snapshot enrollment data, it did give enrollment info for Jan 31. It paints a grim picture for the future of @HoustonISD.
Just look at these stories—this is the agency that stops credit card companies from charging wrong late fees, debt collectors from hounding people for bills they don’t owe, and mortgage companies from denying refunds.
I will keep fighting to protect it.

Texas consistently ranks in the lower half on education in the nation. Teachers are being laid off or are leaving in devastating numbers. We need to fund the system, not defund it. I will continue to fight for the best interests of our public schools. Our kids deserve it. #txlege
Last week, I received a request to extradite a New York doctor who provided life-saving abortion medication to a patient.
Today, I’ve sent a letter to Louisiana with a clear message: I will not be signing the request.
Not now. Not ever.
ICYMI: Vouchers are a scam.
Visit https://t.co/tHUe8WopIV to see how much your local school district would lose if Abbott's billionaire-backed scam passes.

In states where taxpayer-funded vouchers have passed over 70% go to families w/kids already in private school, i.e., rich families (because those are the kids the private schools accept.)
The ONLY way to prevent this is to CAP the rich families who can get it.
You won’t.
