The most recently murdered-at-school babies were ages 5, 8, 11. I am so gutted by these, and all the other, senseless killings. How did a 16 YO have access to a gun? 💔

I’m soooooo nervous about the elections because so many pundits are counting the polls as “votes cast” like they did in previous elections. Also, is there a way that vote counts can really be secured from being overturned or misstated by the regime? 😬

Y’all know I love serving clients at my local food pantry, but this morning I was gutted by the sadness of food availability in the US. I had a 90 year old man (who probably weighed 90 lbs) come for the first time. It’s so tragic…and so WRONG. 💔

Our awesome local Texas grocery store chain is HEB. These are the good folks that give teacher scholarships and run their generators after hurricanes, so everyone has access to power. Yesterday I saw long lines of cars in their parking lot…and their gas was $3.24!!! Thanks, @HEB!

So when trump fabricates a national emergency and stops the elections in November, what’s the plan? I’m seriously asking. I mean, I can plan for 3 weeks without power (Houston…hurricanes) but honestly can’t even begin to figure this out.

Help me find it in the Bible: “Lord, raise up a conman to build a billion dollar ballroom!” Maybe it’s between welcoming immigrants and feeding the hungry??? 🤔

This is my 37th Mother’s Day without my beautiful, hilarious, passionate mom. She taught me early that fighting for justice was not an option, but a responsibility. Losing her in an accident created a forever longing in my heart to spend one more hour with her.

Wait a minute, I’m a retired teacher and live in a very small home, but Scott Bessent thinks I have 10 homes? Who makes a comment like that regarding “mom and pop”? Help me understand.

This morning I met a precious woman who will turn 65 in June. Until then, she has no medical insurance. 😔 We are two days into this “concepts of a plan” and folks are struggling.

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

I don’t know how many times Stephen Colbert has given me the only laugh of the day, and this is heartbreaking news to millions of us. I hope he will continue to be available, especially during the hard times, when his decent and truly good perspective is so needed. 💔

Nothing says “pro life” like murdering people in cold blood, and nothing says “family values” like shooting a mommy and daddy in front of their children during Father’s Day weekend.

I have taught HS students with disabilities that lived in cinder block houses, single garages with dirt floors, or their family’s car. Having access to Medicaid services literally kept my students alive. Repuglicans obviously want them dead.
