If Texas tested the ability of @ERCOT_ISO as much as they test public school children, I doubt we would be in this situation. #texaspoweroutage

I am puzzled. If Congress and the Administration can agree to give trillions to corporations, big banks, airlines, and 600,000 others, why can’t they agree to appropriate $500 billion to open schools safely, in accordance with science? What about the children? and their teachers?

Three universal truths:
1. Teachers are not babysitters.
2. Teachers can’t wait to be back in the classroom once it’s safe.
3. Everyone needs to wear a mask.

If DeVos forces schools to reopen without resources to protect students and staff, stay home.

“women are ruining sci-fi!!!” first of all, your genre was *invented* by a 17-year-old girl, she made love on her mother’s grave and kept her late husband’s calcified heart on her desk but sure, your wizard-space-fantasy is so badass,

Yes, this week has shown the awesome power of local investigative journalism. The court praised the press for listening to victims and exposing Larry Nassar, the worst sex abuse in sports history. nyti.ms/2DGvmsj

By ending DACA, @realdonaldtrump subjected 800k Dreamers to deportation. Now he wants to hold them hostage to Steven Miller’s anti-immigrant wish list. It’s insulting. We already have a bipartisan solution to the Trump-created crisis: it’s called the Dream Act. #DreamActNow
