Read the whole thread, please! Miles is bad for our students. He is wasting our money. And he dares to ask for more in the form of a $4.4B bond. Send a message to him and the whole state of Texas by saying no. #MilesToGo #NoTrustNoBond

@small_asher @nytimes I logged into X specifically to see what you're up to these days. Congrats!

Excited to share that I’m joining @nytimes. I’m on staff for a six-month assignment examining police and security in Texas schools. I’ve been freelancing on the project for the past few months and thrilled to join in a more official capacity. ✉️: asher.lehrer-small@nytimes.com

Remember, ALL TX Republicans - House and Senate - voted FOR SB8, stealing women’s bodily autonomy and allowing women to die. Even the Rs you think you like voted for it. The only Republicans who didn’t were the 2 who didn’t vote - Sen Creighton (absent) and Speaker Phelan.

US @RepFletcher has introduced what she's calling the Right to Contraception Act. "Efforts to restrict access to birth control are not about reflecting the will of the people, they are about taking away the freedom, dignity, and autonomy of all Americans," she said.

@CajunJBD Me too! It is so Houston.

@HeatherSGolden Love the palm tree pic!

Houston snow day!!

There will be no school Tuesday, January 21 or Wednesday, January 22, 2025, due to winter weather conditions. Tune in now for a message from Superintendent Miles: bit.ly/40AFtaN

Texas public schools are navigating a perfect storm of financial challenges: record inflation, the conclusion of crucial federal funds for post-pandemic recovery, declining enrollment, increased school safety requirements, and a host of funding pressures beyond the control of local school districts. The Texas Legislature last increased per-student funding in 2019, forcing many local school districts to face dire and deep budget cuts. Rising inflation and subsequent adjustments mean districts effectively operate with $1,300 less per student than they did five years ago.

I've argued for years that, in the Trump era, charismatic (i.e. ecstatic, supernaturalist, revivalist) evangelicals have displaced the old guard of the relig right & brought a new more aggressive evangelical politics. That was on vivid display in TX today. h/t @RobertDownen_ 1/

This is real money! I'm very frustrated by the lack of consequences for Miles in what is an obvious breach of her contract.

@ltm1101 @Acyn She's not applying to Ivies. But she has some great options.

@HeatherSGolden @Acyn She must be going to an Ivy League school

Duckworth: How many nations are in ASEAN? Hegseth: We have allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia Duckworth: None of those countries are in ASEAN

@DuckAxe @MrBookCooker @zenagainba1 @Acyn She wanted the new phone case she ordered. So she came home.

@BsHelmet @Acyn She's been to Asia. She can definitely find it on a map. Her public school world history teacher is amazing. So are her debate coaches.

@HeatherSGolden @Acyn Your kid goes to public school in… we will consider her fortunate if she can find Asia on a map.

@Hikergirl84 @Acyn Yes! She has visited that region of the world. Also her world history teacher was really good.

@HeatherSGolden @Acyn Can your HS senior locate all of these countries on a map? Probably not.

@toddmonroe6 @Acyn She knows it from debate research and her econ class.

@HeatherSGolden @Acyn Yeah they don't teach that most school any more ... At least here the US

@SusanM65250 @Acyn Still important!

@HeatherSGolden @Acyn It’s an economic alliance not a military alliance.

@Amber72843575 @Acyn Nope 😂 But I don't want to be secretary of defense

@HeatherSGolden @Acyn Well good for your h.s. Senior. Could you?
