Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined. Think about that. For God’s sake how much more carnage are we willing to accept?

Governor Abbott, if you have any decency, you will immediately withdraw from this weekend’s NRA convention and urge them to hold it anywhere but Texas.

This thread is 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
It breaks my heart to say this, but I updated my resume for the first time in 18 years and I'm exploring my opportunities outside of teaching. I have thought about switching careers in the past, but never to this degree. I am not leaving yet, but I wonder how many can relate?

Hospitals are full; non-Covid persons needing a bed are having to wait; there are major staffing shortages; children, adults getting sick; and the delta variant is pervasive. BUT the leaders of Texas spend their time on restricting and suppressing the right to vote. Really! st

Day 1 of school: Had shoes thrown at me by a five year old and my pants ripped during lunch duty. Day 2: Was told by a student that he was going to kill me. Day 3: I have filled in for three teachers due to covid exposure. TEACHERS ARE NOT WELL. SAVE US.

There is no major weather system, tropical storm or Hurricane but the power is out on the north side. State leaders should fix the electric grid instead of expending time restricting people’s right to vote or telling teachers what history not to teach. #Fix real problems. st

Texans aren’t supposed to use their ovens or wash their clothes, but Greg Abbott made sure to dedicate $1 billion to build a wall on land that Texas doesn’t own.

When a high school valedictorian is talking more sense than your governor, it’s time for a change. We can replace Greg Abbott.

Masking outside not needed. Risk of #COVID19 after vax is 0.0005% (@CDC data) & outdoors is naturally ventilated. Of course unvax'd ppl are at risk for COVID & can mask at will. Let's pivot from fear-based to fact-based thinking, behavior & policy @MonicaGandhi9 @VPrasadMDMPH

I’ve been vaccinated for months, but still afraid to be around others. This is a game changerrrrrrrr!!
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky: “Our data from the CDC today suggest that vaccinated people do not carry the virus.”

Texas keeps making national news for the wrong reasons: an electric grid that failed systemwide throughout the state and rolling back the mask order when 88% of Texans are not vaccinated. We are better than this. Leadership matters. st

Apparently America can put a man on the moon but Texas can't keep the lights on. Houston, we have a problem.

Only one store anywhere close to me is open. Over 200 people are waiting outside of it. We are in a crisis within an insane pandemic. THIS IS NOT OKAY @GovAbbott and your puppets.

And this my friends is what it’s like to live in Texas.
You’re the governor of a state where millions don’t have power, where people are literally dying of exposure, and you go on Fox news to talk about... the Green New Deal? You are the governor. Your party has run Texas for 20 years. Accept responsibility & help us get out of this.
