@TCUAlumni My toes going numb, despite layers of ski wear. Worth freezing for!

@emayfarris These watercolor crayons used to be the face paints used by the Ft Worth Museum of Science & History. They’re fab on paper too! https://t.co/UdvXMronyq

Nothing new about “Christian Nationalism.”

It’s Fundamentalism.

What’s new is its billionaire backing.

@BetsyDeVos, Ferris Wilks, Charles Koch are about power—not faith.

Christians have fought CN forever. And will continue to.

Especially in the upcoming voucher fight. #txed

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

8 years of Greg Abbott is more than enough.

[Mendi Tackett @mentack]

Things I wish had happened in Texas…

Organize the shit out of urban areas and young people

Stop chasing a rural vote that is never going to turn

But MOST importantly…get damn serious about Christian nationalism

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

It's an embarrassment that Donald Trump was ever our president. It's an embarrassment that so many still support him, and that so many others in his party cower before him.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

If you think it's crazy that there won't be any voters in the audience for tonight's debate, just wait until you hear that it's taking place in a theater that seats 1,000 people.

It'll be empty—no seats filled—because Abbott refuses to face those he's failed these last 8 years.

[Reda @redamor_]

JUST IN: Uvalde families have arrived ahead for tonights Beto, Abbott debate. They won’t be allowed in but are showing support for Beto O’Rourke.

Greg Abbott won’t debate with an audience.

[United to Protect GCISD @GcisdProtect]

Brd Pres Ford's rampant misogyny has been on full display at board mtgs & not just towards Trustee St John. Interruptions, condescension, accusations... A resident was kicked out last night for calling this out. what if this was your daughter, sister, wife, etc. ?

@cjtackett I used to pop in there when I attended the barre studio next door. I had heard people say they were “Trumpy.” Good to know!

[Southlake Together @Southlake4All]

Start by taking this seriously.

The @GCISD school board that man was speaking to just banned the “glorification of … mental illness.” When you recall that the Texas GOP platform labels gay people ‘abnormal,’ you can see where this is going. Anti-🏳️‍⚧️ is only the beginning.

[Tracy Bristol @TheTracyShow]

@Katelove From Texas school boards created and owned by Christian Nationalist PAC money, like your @GCISD

[ACLU of Texas @ACLUTx]

The extreme censorship policy from @GCISD would have an alarming chilling effect on classroom discussions about history and inequities related to:
👥 race
🏳️‍⚧️ gender identity
🏳️‍🌈 sexual orientation

[ACLU of Texas @ACLUTx]

TODAY: Grapevine-Colleyville ISD near Dallas is set to vote on a policy restricting students’ access to an inclusive education — violating their First Amendment rights. We support the students, parents, and staff fighting to stop it.

Here’s what we know about @GCISD’s policy: 🧵

[Southlake Together @Southlake4All]

There is a middle school in Southlake named after George Dawson. The grandson of a slave, he learned to read at 98 and co-wrote a book about his life’s journey when he was 103 years old.

That book has now been banned from the middle school that bears his name.

[Southlake Together @Southlake4All]

When our local school boards compete to prove themselves to a Christian Nationalist PAC and their money, we all lose.
