The school in St. Louis had metal detectors. Police said the doors were locked. There were armed guards inside the school. Two people are dead. Republicans will tell you the solution is somehow more guns. On Nov 8, you need to tell them they’re full of shit.

interviewed a trauma therapist for a story and she said "the strength of a trauma diagnosis is that it externalizes the source of a pathology – it’s saying ‘something terrible happened to you’, not ‘something is wrong with you'" and I'll be thinking about that for a long time

Companies hiring social media managers and expecting them to do photography, videography, graphic design, copywriting, brand strategy, monitor metrics, host YouTube, make tiktok dances. The work of an entire marketing team, w/little to no pay
What scam has become so normalized that people don't even notice it? 💭

This seems like an urgent problem. Will there be a special #txlege session to do anything to keep kids from getting killed in their classroom? @GovAbbott *could* call one if there was any urgency to it.

If it was plane crash after plane crash after plane crash with the same type of aircraft you would ground the aircraft and ask what the hell was going and you wouldn’t let it fly again until you knew why and it was fixed.

Vouchers are a failed idea. They don’t work as an educational system. The public has no duty to subsidize private schools. Parent choice? School choice? Of course. Choose a private model if that is best for your child. But don’t ask the public to pay for it. #txed #txlege
