Experience of a lifetime with @HoldsworthCentr! Thank you for the creating the best learning experiences with such intention and thoughtfulness. And for the gift of feedback while learning alongside these amazing leaders!

[Holdsworth Center @HoldsworthCentr]

Great schools don’t happen by chance. They’re led by great principals.

Dr. Scott Muri, retired superintendent of @EctorCountyISD, explains why leadership is the second most important factor in student success—and how The Holdsworth Center helps leaders grow and stay strong.

Maybe my favorite line from President Biden's excellent State of the Union last night:

"Those bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade have no clue about the power of women in America."

They'll learn. We'll teach them. https://t.co/mxkpLIOEux

When Trump was elected, we said Abortion access was on the chopping block.

When Kavanaugh was confirmed, we said Roe was going to be overturned.

When Roe was overturned, we told you they’d go to extremes.

When they went to extremes and passed bans with no exceptions, we told you they’d come for abortion medication.

When they came for abortion medication, we told you birth control was next.

We have been telling you. We will continue to tell you. This is not the end of their attacks, it is just the beginning.

This is disheartening for so many reasons - the top of which is the fact that in the great state of Texas, children will go hungry. This is not okay!

[Charles Butt Foundation @CharlesButtFdn]

Every Texas school requires a strong leader to:
- Support teachers
- Develop future leaders
- Create systems of change to ensure better outcomes for all students
- Advocate for their school, community & public education as a whole

Every time you vote for a lawmaker who opposes gun safety, you're voting for policies that will make it more likely your loved ones will be slaughtered.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
If every other major country provides health care to its people,
The United States can, too.

People don’t leave jobs. They leave bosses. @DrMattGutierrez 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for your wonderful insight. #navigatingstormywaters

So true- and he also knew the House did not even have a quorum in session today!

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

The Governor’s bribe is immoral. Texas schools are $40 Billion behind the national average in per student funding. Texas parents demand @GregAbbott_TX do his job & expand the call to fund our schools.
@GovAbbott is hoarding billions in taxpayer $ that belongs to Texas students.

[Jay McWilliams @steerstrong]

Truth! 👇👇

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Always follow the money.

After completing a #txlege session on the TX Pub Ed Committee what is nauseatingly clear is that
Education is big business.

Taxpayer $ that should go to teachers & classrooms pours into well-connected, private pockets.

It’s not ideology; it’s graft.

[Texas School Alliance @Alliance_Texas]

The @teainfo “has proposed abrupt changes to the A-F accountability system it uses to rate school districts – changes that will create the perception that schools are struggling when in fact they're improving.” #txlege #txed https://t.co/LV3CclnDXo

If you prohibit water breaks then please don’t call yourself a Christian.

[Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron]

President Joe Biden on Thursday criticized Texas Republicans, including Gov. Greg Abbott, for passing a law that prohibits local rules requiring water breaks for construction workers during a weekslong heat wave. https://t.co/ZaE6zXUfpR

[Voto Latino @votolatino]

“I challenge Gov. Greg Abbott to spend one day without water… Spend one day with the folks who are out in the fields, the folks who are out on top of roofs, the folks that are on construction sites.”

Oil companies brought in $200 billion in profit last year. Yet the prices at the pump and on our utility bills remain high.

“That, ladies and gentleman, is what we call the oil cartel.”

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

As of today, it's been 14 years since the $7.25 federal minimum wage was last raised.

@POTUS supports raising the wage to at least $15.

MAGA Republicans have repeatedly blocked an increase.

What do they have against millions of working families making more?
