@IISheldonII @jrl_josh @Jaaavis My info source is a post by Attorney Tim Anderson. He said if there’s a vote in April, only Tazewell would be excluded unless a judge issues an order to change it but that hasn’t happened.

@MeredithMalbone @jrl_josh @Jaaavis How does that even work? Lol

Gov. Spanberger’s chief of staff was calling around last night asking if lawmakers would accept a 9-2 map according to multiple sources. The thing I’ve heard multiple times is that her admin does not think they can create a 10-1 map in time.

@jrl_josh @Jaaavis Apparently it only blocks this in Tazewell Co & doesn’t affect the rest of the Commonwealth.

@Jaaavis Didn’t this whole thing get halted by the court? Why are they still trying to do it?

@Julie4Virginia @greg_price11 @SpanbergerForVA I have to read up on it but it would seem the Lt Gov should have power in an emergency when the Gov cannot be reached. An unelected Chief of Staff makes no sense.

@greg_price11 I think @SpanbergerForVA is in for a rude awakening from the Trump administration. She is going to figure out that Federal law trumps a Governor’s order when it comes immigration. Also, in the US, a governor does not have the ultimate authority to resume all powers at any time.

BREAKING: Abigail Spanberger's first act as Governor of Virginia is to repeal Glenn Youngkin's executive order that mandated state and local law enforcement cooperate with immigration enforcement. Elections have consequences.

@WAVY_News Except when there’s only one candidate running in the district.

With all 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates up for grabs in the November election, control of the chamber is in your hands. wavy.com/news/virginia/…

One of the most beautiful song ever!!!! 🥺💔

@BrentAWilliams2 Walgreens patient care has tanked since Covid. Not sure about physician access.

@DrBradJohnson Next step - how will they implement this? Tip - don’t put it on teachers to enforce and make sure to empower admin to effectively handle violations. Without these, it’s all bark and no bite - best wishes. Please share success stories.

Georgia Just Banned Cell Phones in K-8 Schools! Georgia has passed, almost unanimously, a new law prohibiting students in grades K-8 from using personal cell phones during school hours. The goal? To reduce distractions, improve focus, and support student mental health. Supporters argue this will boost learning and social interaction, while critics worry about limiting communication in emergencies. What do you think? Drop your thoughts below! ⬇️

The kryptonite of every school’s cell phone policy is the teacher that says, “I don’t care if you’re in your phone once you’re done with your work.”

@WAVY_News The post and link don’t match @WAVY_News

@educator4ever36 Absolutely. I get physically ill 🤢 when I smell it too.

I’m subbing at a high school today and I kid you not, the smell of marijuana on so many students is insane. Full time HS teachers - do you experience this as well?

@JasonMiyaresVA @JMU Go Dukes 💜💛

I’m humbled and honored to return to @JMU to celebrate the achievements of this year’s graduating class. Gratitude has been the foundation of my journey—from the sacrifices my family made for me to pursue the American dream and earn a degree, to the life-changing opportunities James Madison University offered me. To the Class of 2024: Congratulations from a proud ’98 Duke! Your adventure is only just beginning. I hope to inspire you to embrace that same spirit of gratitude as you step into the next chapter of your lives. Full remarks: youtube.com/live/FNkJk7yYB…

@Bored_Teachers Please add: Don’t flush a vape down the toilet & get mad the bathroom is closed + Stop touching each other and making it weird for everyone hearing me say this to you.

Great article, Paxton! Please bring your family to check out Hometown Christmas @firstnorfolk @ericjohnthomas

@SteelCityHelps 🖤

Hey #teachertwitter! What is it for you?

@pitterpatter31 @bethanyshondark A zpack works on it, even when heavy doses of other antibiotics don’t touch it.

@bethanyshondark I’ve seen articles about the rise of “walking pneumonia “ caused by mycoplasma bacteria. These bacteria have no cell walls so penicillin like drugs don’t work, as they attack the cell walls of bacteria.

It tells you something how little our society cares for kids when a virus that posed no risk to them closed down schools for a year+, but now there’s a virus going around causing widespread pneumonia in kids and there’s nothing in the way of inquiry from public health overlords.

@S_Oberle @TeacherTappUS It’s a slippery slope. The school loses all credibility if the district says no but the school says yes.

Heated convo today amongst staff about hat/hood policy. Some say who cares if the student feels more comfortable while others say hard ‘No’ across the board. @TeacherTappUS

@JBudzien That’s your choice. My choice is different. I believe one of my responsibilities as a teacher is to model civic engagement & participation. I wish y’all agreed but I get why you don’t.

That's a lovely thought. Unfortunately, all of the candidates for president are bad enough on every issue that there are no good candidates. Other races have reasonable tradeoffs. President is uniquely bad for the first time in my lifetime.

@JamesAFurey The X algorithm brought me here. You have to vote for who brings the most good to the most people. It’s not about their personas, and, it’s your civic duty to participate. But if you’re unconvinced, please don’t let students see your apathy.

As we near November 5th, I, for the first time since eligible to vote, am becoming more and more convinced that I’m just leaving the top ticket blank. I cannot bring myself to support either of these candidates.

@ShaunSandersJr PROUD of you! Miss you at the Ville.

blessed and highly favored❤️ #LLPops #99

@NbergWX Did you copy this post from Wxrisk??

8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.
