Duh! Guns don’t kill people. 007 video games kill people.
If only Republicans protected children the way they are protecting the Epstein Files!
Medicaid enables us to live in a society where kids, seniors, people with disabilities, foster care kids, pregnant people, & people with TB, cancer or HIV/AIDS have healthcare. That benefits us ALL. Fight to protect Medicaid!
Oh, so she’s finally getting cell service or WiFi under that rock she occasionally crawls out from under?
Instead of doing the work of their departments, they’re all at their desks concocting these platitudes to TACO to stroke his little boy’s ego. It’s so kind of him to not make them kneel before him and kiss the end of his comically long tie.
Don’t say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying.—Mayor Jacob Frey Live Updates: At Least 2 Killed and 17 Injured in Shooting at Minneapolis Catholic School www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
I was a proud member when I was teaching. The Texas State Teachers Association, the Texas arm of NEA, took amazing care of me and my coworkers when an administrator was breaking laws and making work hell.

Well spoken sir
Kids could shut down their lemonade stands and charge a fee to empty dehumidifiers during school breaks, after school, and on weekends. I’d pay a kid to pop over to my Mom’s and empty hers.
After he does this to the Rose Garden he complains about the loss of grass in DC⁉️
This is absolutely about racism. White women everywhere this is a call for you to stand up to white men now. We have been too silent for too long with too much fear. We are powerful. We have a voice. Time to use it.
if you're traveling to the US, and don't think your smartphone will be searched and potentially seized - THINK AGAIN the number of searches at airports is going UP - and with the increase in federal funding, their intention is no doubt to do searches on everyone 🧵 techcrunch.com/2025/08/20/d...

Younger generations, you need to dust off this Bob Dylan song from 1964 because it's just as applicable now as it was then. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS7a...

Do I laugh? Do I cry? A guy who livestreams himself having sex and an embezzling accused murderer are creating a whites only community. I won’t hold my breath waiting for proper action to be taken. I may be hopeful, but I ain’t stupid. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/r...
BREAKING: Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was literally forced off a PRESS CALL by cops — mid-sentence. Police told her it’s a felony to speak while on the House floor or even in the damn bathroom. That’s not procedure. That’s authoritarian muscle, in real time.
Yet another thing patrick has done to turn my stomach. I just have to hear his name and I feel my blood pressure going up!
And I am tapping this out on my phone from a district in Texas with lines that were redrawn to guarantee a gop win after Filemon Vela retired. 2/2
Gov. Hot Wheels doesn’t see what is happening in Texas as gerrymandering. He sees it as serving his lord and savior, trump. Any state that isn’t serving the toddler in chief is doing wrong, thus they are the horribly gerrymandered states. 1/2
He’s got a new tour coming. Check out his website—shauncassidy.com. Maybe he’ll be near you.
When I was a teacher, my students couldn’t grasp this concept. They just kept saying, “Why didn’t you DVR it?”
Usually the episodes I missed weren’t rerun during the summer. But hey, now we can catch up on all of it with streaming services.
I FINALLY got to see him last year. My brother gave the tickets to me for my birthday. He also got me the advance tickets for the Q&A. So I got to meet him. It was a major highlight of my life and made up for not getting to see him live when I was a kid.
Liberace’s ghost fled the Oval Office, saying, “It’s a bit tacky for me.”

Certified educators choose public schools because of the guaranteed salary, insurance, and retirement investment benefits. Private schools don’t have to meet any standard for minimum pay and rarely have any kind of benefits package.
That’s the major downside of private schools—anyone can be hired to teach anything. Private schools don’t have to meet any standard for staffing since they aren’t funded by tax dollars. 1/2

I’m in the process of trying to use the iPad more since it fits in my big ass purse. I need to put more of my stuff in my cloud to make it work.

As a teacher, I learned this alongside my fifth graders twenty+ years ago. We were reading a book together that had great reviews. I hated reading it. They hated listening to it. I threw it back on the shelf—to cheers—and grabbed the next book on our TBR pile.
MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT I, JEFF TIEDRICH, YOUR FAVORITE WRITER, HAVE COME UP WITH THE "GREATEST" IDEA EVER. NOT EVEN HEATHER COX RICHARDSON (TINY HANDS!) COULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS. SAD!

Could this cabinet take a three hour tour on the SS Minnow? They would surely never return from that island since they all make Gilligan look like a freakin’ genius.
As an elementary teacher, I think it’s great to recommend classics. But yes, help find newer authors. And read the books, too. We all need new voices in our heads!
Happy Safe Digging Day! 8/11 is safe digging day to remind everyone to dial 8-1-1 before digging to check for utility lines. My small town has had cellular and internet lines cut due to digging. So protect yourself and your community. Dial 8-1-1. #DialBeforeYouDig #Dial811 #digsafe

From @theathletic.com: Humiliation, often lewd or sexual, has long been used as an attempt to make women feel uncomfortable in sports or diminish their place in this space, our columnist writes. These sex toy incidents are another attempt to demean women. nyti.ms/45mJ6Co
60 years after the Voting Rights Act, voter suppression is still targeting our communities. That’s why I introduced the SWIFT VOTE Act and the POLL Act. These bills cut the lines, expose the delays, and give folks real power to fight back when states play games with our right to vote.
My next read…..
It’s a rebate program for the rich. No one who isn’t rich can afford private school for their children with the vouchers passed in Texas this year. And it is a way to funnel tax dollars into religious institutions. #SeparationOfChurchandState is so important! Keep religion out of government!

Was Coding Error the name of the person that made the edit? And it’s shocking that they don’t realize that isn’t the only resource for reading the Constitution. With this administration, government websites are not trusted resources.
This makes me sick!

Most reasonable people are right there with you and don’t believe that and are sick that innocent life was lost in that theatrical farce.

She said she made it 21 years but that’s long enough to know this is bullshit. In my 53 years I agree. They’re dehumanizing us.
As a reasonable Texan—aka a Democrat—I am grateful for Pritzker and the city of Chicago for hosting the logical and reasonable members of the Texas House. It’s sad that they have to leave to protect fair rights to representation.

They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely 🙏 www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

If you are interested in supporting public media in rural areas, there is a great tool that was designed by one of her colleagues to help do that. adoptastation.org?fbclid=IwY2x...
You can do a one-time donation or set up monthly donations.

Texas gerrymandering is about racism. Fewer districts for Black and Brown communities. More power for white Texans. It’s voter suppression by design, and it fuels voter apathy by making people feel like their voices don’t matter. That’s the point.
Watch Trump admit he’s a sexual predator in front of his own daughter!
