Texas lawmakers love to talk about supporting schools, but rural districts are still running on fumes. Superintendents wear many hats, face burnout, & get little help. If rural schools are the backbone of communities, why are they treated like an afterthought? Texas AFT TASAnet

The assault on our democracy today is seen most evidently in the attempt to destroy public education. But we are witnessing a huge pushback among parents, pastors, business & community leaders of all kinds everywhere! #2026Election WILL flip #txlege House seats back to #txed!

More evidence that red state voucher programs are riling the GOP. Conservative candidate for governor of Tennessee, running on 'liberty & less government,' wants to suspend TN's new voucher program. Hard to overstate how angry much of the grassroots right remains over vouchers

Canceling civilian speakers at a military academy because they have been critical of the president is not democracy, it's banana republic nonsense and shows an administration that is fearful, rather than confident. gazette.com/military/air-f…

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. yahoo.com/news/articles/…

Poland slaps russia in the face. WOW. We know you don't care about international law and are incapable of living in peace with your neighbors. Your insane nationalism is a lust for domination that will not abate until you realize that the era of empires is over and yours cannot

Why would the US Justice Department remove a study from its website last week that concluded that far-right extremists have killed far more Americans than any other domestic terror group? . The now-archived report, titled "What National Institute of Justice Research Tells Us

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

But none of this is true: outside of annual flu vaccines it’s closer to 30 immunizations, all or most tested in placebo-controlled trials. We’ve gone from immunizing kids vs 8 diseases when I was a resident in the 1980s, to 16, including 4 for bacterial meningitis, 2 for cancer

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment "My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either.

Taps the sign again… folks… the largest most comprehensive study of #Tylenol and autism did NOT find a link! I don’t care how many times Trump rage tweets about it.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

You do realize you have had 22 years in the Senate to come up with a better healthcare plan, don’t you? If you aren’t interested in doing your job anymore I would like to do it. 🙋‍♀️
