Like so many members of our military, serving this country changed my life. The Navy gave me opportunities I wouldn't dream of and taught me lessons I'll never forget. I'm grateful for everything our nation has given me, and I'll always do everything I can to give back to it.

So teaching and nursing will no longer be considered “professional” degrees?! Is this because they are female dominated careers? What is the reasoning behind this?! Careers wouldn’t even exist without teachers. We are literally teaching the future.

I can remember every lyric to every song on this album. Wore out my cassette of this! Oh the memories 🎶

Anyone want to help a first year art teacher #clearthelist ?! My daughter in law Rose just got hired to teach art grades 6-8 in Princeton, Texas. She could really use some help getting these items for her classroom! Thank you for supporting fine arts education! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

The military should not carry out immigration enforcement.

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message. But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

The moon last night…

Summer school week one is done ✅ Three more to go!!

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Release dates for the final season of #StrangerThings Vol 1 - November 26 Vol 2 - December 25 Finale - December 31

Summer school starts tomorrow! Eighteen on my roster, but two are out of town, so I’ll have sixteen 4 and 5 year olds!

Hello, summer! Got about 5 inches cut off my hair today ☀️☀️☀️

My greatest gift is being mom to these two. I raised them mostly on my own, so I get to take credit for how amazing they turned out 😆💐💕!! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!

I’m proud to join the great Cyndi Lauper in the fight for women’s rights & healthcare. Go to www.bonfire.com/girlswantrights2025 to get a shirt and learn more about the #GirlsJustWantToHaveFundamentalRights Fund. @tidescommunity.bsky.social

I spent about 4 hours in the car 🚗 today. Listened to Spotify “new wave 80s” channel and I swear it’s like a mix tape of memories from my high school years. Only the good memories, of course 😉

When they try to divide us, attack the vulnerable and make us feel hopeless we’ve got to join together, bring the outsiders in and give each other a reason to be hopeful. Denton, Texas.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

A spiral galaxy, observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in the GOODS-N-FULLDEPTH survey. It is at redshift 0.85 (lookback time 7.29 billion years) with coordinates (189.17415, 62.16209). 40 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo: Hubble.🔭

Having to take a break, social media is extremely depressing to me at the moment 💔 Not good for my mental health, at all.

Let’s work together. If you have any extra food, please consider donating it to your local food bank.

Americans are going hungry under Trump. Food banks across the country — already strained by deep cuts to locally grown food programs — the U.S. Department of Agriculture is canceling $500 million in expected food deliveries, further disrupting aid as demand continues to grow.

Sigh. This is truly embarrassing. Sorry, world. This Texan did not vote for him 😒

Happy (early) birthday to my husband @leonhelmink.bsky.social !! Gave him his pressie early…

Yup.

It’s spring break!! Got to spend some time with the Rowlett Shelter doggos this morning!! We walked almost three miles ❤️🐾

Green Card holders, for example, are covered by the First Amendment and other constitutional protections. They are also on a path to citizenship. Having a green card is not the same as having a student visa or H1B so don’t let the GOP pretend it is or redefine it with some new BS lesser meaning.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

No leader should by his decision create so much disunity and anger in his own party. That alone is political malpractice.

It’s not “America First” to pull the rug out from under an ally and leave their people to die. This kind of foreign policy will end with no one in the world trusting America. Our alliances give us strength and the damage being done makes our country weaker and us all less safe.

One is back up, flying again 🤮🤮🤮.

We miss your goodness and your leadership in the White House, Joe.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Happy International Women’s Day 💕💪🏻

Might save a life.

Omg, I love Prince and the Revolution. So sad I never got to see Prince in concert 💔💜

Same. Got a booster after I delivered my second child 23 years ago because I was no longer showing immunity. Get your levels checked!!

Done testing!! It took three weeks to test my 100 students with two tests to check their progress with English proficiency. So happy to be done ✅ #TELPAS

Well… the two Trump flags that were flying in my neighborhood are no longer flying, they have been taken down. Sadly a little too late, but at least I don’t have to see them every day anymore.

Sounds like someone I know 🤔

I'd like to wish everybody a very good night. Keep looking up starry eyed dreamers. Have a brilliant evening and super Sunday :) 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography

Vermont welcomes traitor Vance.

“DO YOUR JOB!” TEXAS: @RepKeithSelf’s turn

We just witnessed an ambush - a media lynching - from the President of the United States toward President Zelensky & a democratic nation. The POTUS just said pull out & side with Russia or we’re out. Ukraine didn’t start this war. Putin is a dictator & a murderer. We must stand with Ukraine.

Trump is nothing but a bully 😡!!! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
