Cinco de Mayo May 5 is a celebration for Mexico's victory over the 2nd French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, More popular in the US than in Mexico. It began in Columbia, California. For all U don’t California my TX people. Stop celebrating this! It’s a beer holiday.

I wonder how many teachers’ lives would change if their minimum salary was at least $60,000…

did taylor swift think she could write "when my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people i ghosted stand there in the room" and i wouldn’t think about it for the rest of my damn life

The fact that we, as a collective society, are not listening to, supporting, helping and taking care of the very people who have dedicated their lives to educating, nurturing and helping other people’s children should outrage everyone. #teachers

There is no ‘teacher shortage’. There are thousands of qualified experiences teachers who are no longer teaching. There’s a shortage of respect and proper compensation for teachers allowing them to actually teach.

This new commercial from Mothers Against Greg Abbott is one of the best political ads I’ve ever seen.

Please stop saying that we need to increase teacher salaries in order “recruit the best and brightest” as if the best and brightest are not currently teaching.
We need to increase teacher salaries because those currently teaching deserve and earned it.

July 10 is the anniversary of a moment that very much changed my life. A moment that means so much to me I (as of last October) quite literally wear it on my sleeve. It's the day Abby Wambach scored a miracle goal against Brazil in the 2011 Women's World Cup. Let me explain why!

If the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade feels like a personal attack, it’s because it is. Extremists are trying to send us back to the days when women had no control over our own bodies and our own futures. But I’ve got news for them: we still have the power to fight back.

Do not trust the teachers excited about being able to carry guns in school. I said what I said 🤷♂️

Congresswoman Greene,
I’m more interested in protecting children and meeting commonsense people who are looking for reasonable solutions to stop children from dying. Don’t really have time to help you go viral for attacking survivors so you can fundraise.
Respectfully,

.@davidhogg111 I hear you & your girls are funded to come to town this week to once again try to manipulate some of my gutless weak colleagues to vote for gun control that will violate our freedoms and leave Americans defenseless.
I don’t see you on my schedule, why not?

Imagine telling teachers (who are peaceful, compassionate and kind by nature—which makes them great teachers) that they don’t care about their students because they are not willing to carry a gun and kill someone…
Yet, that is where we currently are.

Happening now: Students at Micheltorena Elementary School in Silverlake, California, staging a walkout in support of gun control.
Students chant, “Save kids, not guns.”

If you think books are dangerous for our students just wait until you see what an AR-15 does to a 7 year old.
