“You should really consider the impacts to being so political.”
What’s that, Karen? Can’t hear you, busy fighting for things you take for granted.

@scottbraddock Did they really just say school districts are struggling financially due to overspending?? Schools have not had a per student funding increase since 2019!! Texas spends $4,000 less than most states per student and is ranked 42nd in school funding.

@JessElizarraras Team dining or having dinners with other friends who can help with the kiddos or have similarly aged kiddos can also be helpful now and then. Or having dinner with Kid-Free friends who would love to spend time with Bean while you eat.

[optimistic heathen @optimistic_hthn]

@JessElizarraras We always brought crayons or duplos to keep the tots occupied. Disposable mats are amazing to allow for food play once Bean is starting to nom - I can't wait to take her for noods! Also, we took turns "managing" active kiddo so one of us could eat.

Now seems like a good time to remind y'all that homicide is a leading cause of death for pregnant women.

@ChristinaSBG Because *checks notes* capitalism.
If it was truly about health care, we wouldn't have the mess we have.

1. The Missouri Legislature has announced 21 bills targeting LGBTQ+ people in the first day of prefiling for the 2024 session.

The legislative assault on queer and trans people there will continue.

I go over all of the bills here.

Call your reps today and tell them to vote no on HB1. No vouchers. No deals.

Also, s/o to all the many folks who helped me out last week when I was invited to testify, but especially Trish Bode, Ricardo Martinez, and @VoteLuluFlores’ team.

The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

Texas children are being INDOCTRINATED to vote against Christian conservative values in government schools.

We MUST pass universal education freedom in Texas to secure a quality education with ZERO strings attached! #txlege

[Diego Bernal @DiegoBernalTX]

If we care about kids, we focus on kids.

Not personal agendas. Not threats. And not politics. #txlege
