As of today, after 14 years, I am no longer employed by @HoustonISD. This is bittersweet. I have loved teaching in this beautiful, diverse district. My own children attended excellent HISD schools from K-12. But @HISDSupe Mike Miles has
Finland: we've figured out public education and consistently have the highest PISA scores in the world. @HISDSupe nah, instead, let's impose my untested method that is the exact opposite of everything Finland has done. instagram.com/reel/DC-rX-Cuy…

The electoral college was not put in the Constitution to make sure candidates campaigned in small states. That's a lie you were taught in school. It doesn't even make sense.
The electoral college was put in the Constitution to protect slavery.

This shouldn’t happen in a country like this. In a state like this. But it happens because we leave governance in the hands of people who don’t think very long and hard past their own beliefs and desires to stay in power rather than the greater good.
Having already used every conceivable marginalized group as a hated “other” to rile up their base, Republicans take a new direction in 2025. Now, women are the enemy.
Why wouldn't they, when their VP candidate has stood up and said that he'll keep telling lies?
NEW: There is a new frontier in fake news: MAGA fanfic pawned off as legit scoops.
It's getting millions of views and confusing even the professionals.

Another dead woman.
Josseli Barnica was killed by the abortion ban in Texas, denied miscarriage care because her fetus still had a heartbeat.
They are killing us.

“This is my family’s thirteenth year in HISD. While I have always voted for school bonds, I’m voting no because bonds require community trust. Under Superintendent Mike Miles, that trust has been broken.”

COLLINS: What do you think Kamala Harris has to do to avoid a repeat of 2016?
HILLARY CLINTON: Well first of all I don't think she has Jim Comey in the wings waiting to kneecap her, so that's good.
Typical MAGAt!

Yup. Manfred got so mad at the Dodgers, Yankees, and every other team using video in real time that he took it out on the Astros - who had dared to beat down his special boys despite their best efforts.
The Dodgers stole signs electronically, it was reported on in real time, and it was swept under the rug. Cope however you want, but your favorite team also cheated and still lost. si.com/mlb/2018/11/02/camera…
Why did you send @HISDSupe to destroy the state's largest district, which also happens to have a robust system of *free* magnet schools to afford every child true choice? He's dismantling that choice brick by brick and turning schools into factories.
The best part? It was a Trump-nominated judge.

So is Texas really in play? Because @KamalaHarris is coming to Houston on Friday, and not to raise money. 👀👀

This is not a campaign speech. It's a speech in front of a group of insurrectionist on January 6, 2021. The day of love.
This creature does not deserve to be a senator for the state of Texas.

Politicians are gettin’ PAID by these testing companies.
They don’t care about results other than to show public schools are “failing.”
That’s why these tests are written 1.5-2 grade levels above the grade they are supposedly testing.
What a waste of taxpayer money.
