Imagine kissing your babies and putting them to sleep for the last time
Imagine telling your mom you loved her the last time
For many of the 21 Uvalde families, that happened a year ago from right now
Hold of them all in your thoughts every day, especially the next 24 hours
My heart is with all of the Uvalde families on this first day of school
Parents should be sending their kids to school
Irma Garcia and Eva Mireles should be preparing their classrooms and welcoming a new class
It should be a happy day... not a sad one
Hug your family tight
It's May 23rd
364 days ago, families were devastated and a community was changed forever
As the calendar changes to May 24 tomorrow, please keep the Uvalde victims in your hearts and minds
Y'all have been on mine every day for a year... and you forever will be

@GregAbbott_TX

Tell me you don't care without telling me you don't care
A year ago, Robb elementary teacher Eva Mireles was killed in Uvalde
Since then, her daughter
@addy_celeste
has made it her mission to make sure her mother is remembered
Eva Mireles is a hero, a legend, and a diamond in the sky
Here is the thing with CP3- Whenever he goes somewhere, teams start winning and make jumps the following season
Hornets: 18 wins to 38 wins
Clippers: 32 wins to 40 wins to 56 wins
Rockets: 55 wins to 65 wins
Suns: 34 wins to 51 wins
He will have a big impact on the Spurs
What a race!
SOPHOMORE Elizabeth Leachman gets 26th and runs a 16:36.67 in the women's 5,000M at her first Olympic Trials.
She will not be going to Paris, but she is absolutely outstanding no matter what. A sophomore holding her own with the fastest women in the country
I grieve for the woman you would have become and all the difference you would have made in this world. I grieve for the woman I was when you were still here. But, one part of me still exist, I am still your mom. I will honor your life with action. This is only the beginning💛
My first assignment on May 24th was to research who the shooter was
I found out... I wish I didn't
His name haunts me -- but I refuse to say it out loud or type it anywhere. He - that monster with a gun - does not deserve recognition
I remember that day distinctly and always will
Well today it finally happened. A concerned fan reached out to me to see if I was okay after getting checked into the boards last night as I played against the Wild...

We will all be here until every rock is turned over and all of the truth is out... Whether that is six, 12, or 60 months. This isn't for the ratings.
Why are people so upset about the IL not playing HS football?
Well...
1. because every neighboring state is.
2. Illinois has he second lowest 7 day average positivity rate.
Both of these are also reasons the IHSA wants to take the decision power back.

Protestors are outside fighting for more dollars for public schools instead of taking public money for private education.
You can hear them chanting while the governor is talking
Six months since 21 families in Uvalde suffered unimaginable loss. Six months since countless others were shot and injured. Six months of digging for answers.
As you celebrate Thanksgiving today, keep these families in your hearts and minds… I know I will
If y’all ever think you can’t do something, just think of

At one point in my life, i want to be able to lose $200,000 and still have a smile on my face without a care in the world like Phil did tight there.

Parents are currently nearly rushing the school. They want their kids out of there ASAP and police are having a tough time containing.

I’d like to take some time and thank many of the people that helped me get here (in a thread):
This is Xavier Lopez. He is one of the 19 children killed in the horrific Uvalde shooting today
The family is asking for prayers during this sad time.

Brahmas pulled off the miracle!
Down 12-3 -- went on an 18-play, 67-yard TD drive that took up over 10 minutes of clock to make it 12-9
Then convert on the THREE POINT PLAY to tie it at 12
Then recover a fumble on the kickoff
and now win on a FG
BREAKING: reports on a shooting and possible active gun on campus happening now.
SAISD Tells us there is no evidence currently of a gun being on campus and that no shooting has occurred. SAISD and SAPD are currently sweeping the school

, I am spending my day writing a story on an amazing teacher: Eva Mireles
She died doing what she loved in Uvalde
She is a karaoke star, a workout warrior, a mom, and a hero
I'm blessed to be able to tell her story
#EvaStrong
12:50 PM - Finally, a BORTAC team made entry into the classrooms and killed the attacker
Many of the 21 were already dead... some died on the way to the hospital.
77 minutes - the gunman was alone, with an AR-15, in those rooms - while 376 officers waited outside
Happy birthday to a hero: Eva Mireles
Eva loved teaching and her students
She died shielding her kids from the Uvalde gunman on May 24
She loved crossfit and karaoke - her go to song being "Diamonds"
Her and her family

At this point, the shooter was in the classroom for 21 minutes already.
No breach attempted. Chief Arredondo scrambled to try and find a key for a door we now know was probably unlocked.
The shooter would be in there alone with the victims for another 56 minutes

To be clear, Allison didn’t kill the bill. He and many of his colleagues voted to take out the voucher/ESA//school choice part of the bill, then the bill sponsor withdrew it.
To be clear Steve, I called 2 Special Sessions last year that would have added $6 Billion for Public Schools, provide teacher pay raises & end the STAAR test + add school choice.
You helped kill that bill.
That's why voters fired you in the primary.
So this happened live on

WHAT A GAME IN JUDSON!
They go to TRIPLE OT which is basically a two point conversion-off.
Steele gets theirs to go up 38-36...
Then they bring the house and get the sack to seal the win!
Steele may have won, but it was Judson with the play of the night! Look at Elijah Favela do his best Kyler Murray impression and get the game tied to go to a second OT with this toss to Davian Watson!

: A spokesperson for Sen. Gutierrez tells us UCISD Police chief Pete Arredondo, the incident commander during last Tuesday's shooting, did not have his radio (comms) on him during the incident

He says there HAS been training with other city’s along the border… but not Uvalde

The young woman tells police that there were many dead already and asks them to come help

At this point, the shooter was in the classroom for 21 minutes already.
No breach attempted. Chief Arredondo scrambled to try and find a key for a door we now know was probably unlocked.

It’s a bittersweet day, but I’d like to take a moment to announce I will be leaving Newschannel 20, with my last day being in just three weeks on Feb 23.
WICS gave me the chance to learn and grow; to do news and sports; to anchor and report (1/-)
I’m out here for what is going to be an emotionally charged day in Uvalde today: the first day of school
