Tired of being the one that did not fuck around but yet is finding out. Here’s to finding out your grant money was frozen! 🤦♀️
GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety.
Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.
This.
Pass universal healthcare.
What is the action plan? We always identify the problem.
I was a candidate & engaged with non-voters & people who did not vote for me. I don’t blame the them. They have lost trust, been let down, gaslighted and lied to. One conversation with them from me could not overcome that.
I showed my 11- and 13-year-old a clip of Elon’s speech with the gesture, without any context. As soon as they saw it, they were shocked, and my 13-year-old wouldn’t even say what it was, calling it “so bad.”
We found joy in Texas today. ❄️ The perfect snow for a snowball brawl and no school.
I am here for this. If we want to support this, what organizations need the most support?
Anyone seen Ted Cruz? I need to know how serious this Winter Weather Warning is.
Saying this here bc I know it’s an echo chamber. You can bet if you’ve pissed off ppl like me, you’ve lost an entire contingency of voters who see the democrats as either complicit or weak.
Sit with that while you regroup & decide who is captaining your next ship.
They ban a media app before assault rifles. #tiktoc #freespeech
Hope. I made it through and you can to. Don’t give up.
“Texas Mom car”. IYKYK. I can’t get it off, but I don’t think I really want to get it off. #memories #hereeverythingsbetter #HEB
21.7% of Texans don't have health insurance, the highest share—by far—in the country.
Expanding Medicaid would immediately insure 1.2 million people. Yet, for over 10 years, Texas Republicans have refused.
This is what failed leadership looks like.
Spent hours comparing prescription costs across pharmacies, building a spreadsheet to make sense of it. My husband said, “It takes a degree to understand healthcare.” He’s right—and I have one. The industry profits off this chaos.
The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity
AOC truly understands the nature of counter propaganda and I wish she would teach a course for Dem lawmakers and campaign messengers. It should be required curriculum.
Are white sweatpants really “in style” or did my teenage son just come up with the most maniacal way to torture me with laundry?
How it’s going today. A visual representation by my Labrador.
I believe the time is now to be in community and earn trust. Campaigns come and go. We should be knocking on doors, hosting barbecues and listening sessions to learn from our communities and earn that trust.
Do not obey in advance.
Lifelong Texan, public education advocate, healthcare expert, special ed mom. I had enough and ran for State Representative. My opponent spent nearly $2M to beat me and told lies to voters. Wealth supremacy, greed, and Christian nationalism are dismantling the country. Determining my next steps.
This is not the Texas I want for my neighbors or children. My head is still struggling to understand how as voters and leaders we got to this place.
And we are finding out. Over and over and over again.
Friends of Texas Public Schools 20th annual gala. Celebrating those who fight against the agenda to undermine public education.
We’re here!
