It may get cold for TCU-Baylor this weekend but it won't be as cold as 2015 at Amon Carter, when the Frogs won in Overtime and rushed the field! What are your memories of that game? #beatbaylor#gofrogs

@emayfarris These watercolor crayons used to be the face paints used by the Ft Worth Museum of Science & History. They’re fab on paper too! cheapjoes.com/caran-d-ache-n…
Nothing new about “Christian Nationalism.”
It’s Fundamentalism.
What’s new is its billionaire backing.
@BetsyDeVos, Ferris Wilks, Charles Koch are about power—not faith.
Christians have fought CN forever. And will continue to.
Especially in the upcoming voucher fight. #txed
Things I wish had happened in Texas…
Organize the shit out of urban areas and young people
Stop chasing a rural vote that is never going to turn
But MOST importantly…get damn serious about Christian nationalism
It's an embarrassment that Donald Trump was ever our president. It's an embarrassment that so many still support him, and that so many others in his party cower before him.
If you think it's crazy that there won't be any voters in the audience for tonight's debate, just wait until you hear that it's taking place in a theater that seats 1,000 people.
It'll be empty—no seats filled—because Abbott refuses to face those he's failed these last 8 years.
JUST IN: Uvalde families have arrived ahead for tonights Beto, Abbott debate. They won’t be allowed in but are showing support for Beto O’Rourke.
Greg Abbott won’t debate with an audience.
Brd Pres Ford's rampant misogyny has been on full display at board mtgs & not just towards Trustee St John. Interruptions, condescension, accusations... A resident was kicked out last night for calling this out. what if this was your daughter, sister, wife, etc. ?
If you put things like this up in your business, it is guaranteed I won’t spend a dime, and I’ll turn on a dime and leave. I was floored seeing this in a place of business.
Start by taking this seriously.
The @GCISD school board that man was speaking to just banned the “glorification of … mental illness.” When you recall that the Texas GOP platform labels gay people ‘abnormal,’ you can see where this is going. Anti-🏳️⚧️ is only the beginning.
The extreme censorship policy from @GCISD would have an alarming chilling effect on classroom discussions about history and inequities related to:
👥 race
🏳️⚧️ gender identity
🏳️🌈 sexual orientation
TODAY: Grapevine-Colleyville ISD near Dallas is set to vote on a policy restricting students’ access to an inclusive education — violating their First Amendment rights. We support the students, parents, and staff fighting to stop it.
Here’s what we know about @GCISD’s policy: 🧵
There is a middle school in Southlake named after George Dawson. The grandson of a slave, he learned to read at 98 and co-wrote a book about his life’s journey when he was 103 years old.
That book has now been banned from the middle school that bears his name.
