Today across from the Capitol, I stood w/educators, workers, & advocates to say: No more business as usual.
When voting rights are weakened, working people lose power.
Public schools lose voice. Democracy suffers.
The adults who care are still here. And we’re still fighting.✊🏽

Patty & I proudly voted on Day 1 of early voting in the Texas runoff election.
Make a plan to vote early or on Election Day, Tuesday, May 26.
Your vote is your voice. Every vote matters because every future is shaped by those who show up.
Let’s show up, Texas. 🇺🇸 #VoteTexas
26 years ago, I married the love of my life, mi compañera de vida. Through every joy, challenge, and dream, my love and admiration for you has only grown deeper.
Patty, mi amor, gracias for this beautiful journey together. Te escogería una y otra vez. ❤️
Happy 26th Anniversary.
Happy 50th Birthday to my beautiful wife, Patty. ❤️
Your courage, compassion, brilliance, and love inspire everyone around you. An incredible mother, educator, mentor, and partner. I’m beyond blessed to share this life with you.
Celebrating 50 amazing years of you today.
Feliz cumpleaños, mi amor!
Inspired after mentoring incredible Latino youth through CHCI NextGen today — students from TX, LA & AR dreaming of becoming immigration lawyers, nurses, engineers & policy leaders. Most impactful? Learning from them and their commitment to building a more just future. Gracias, CHCI. Adelante. 💪🏽✨
Students with disabilities need education experts—not a medical system that was never designed to educate them. As a special education teacher, I know this: IDEA is an education promise, and our students deserve the support, services, and educators they need to thrive.
We must protect it.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Appreciation isn’t just words. It’s action.
This week, stand with educators—
for respect, fair pay, and a real voice.
Porque la verdadera apreciación… requiere acción.

We cannot normalize school shootings, lockdown drills, or the trauma of gun violence in our schools.
Today, I’m wearing 🟧 & sharing why this fight is deeply personal to me as an educator, parent, and son of Tx.
For our students. For our educators. 🧡

Today I joined global labor leaders in Nuuk to say Greenland is not for sale! Proud to be in solidarity with brave IMAK educators—we know what authoritarian threats feel like in our classrooms. With @eduinternational.bsky.social, we denounce attacks on Greenland’s autonomy. When we fight, we win!
No child should face the fear and trauma of family detention. Places like Dilley cause lasting harm to children's health and well-being. Today, @noelcandelaria.bsky.social joined advocates at the U.S. Capitol to say: every child & family deserves safety and dignity. #EndFamilyDetention #ReadThemHome

Pringle: Keep IDEA where it belongs, restore staffing cuts, and fully fund the services students deserve
Educators from across the world are in Nuuk.
To stand with IMAK and the people of Greenland.
To defend public education.
To learn from each other.
To build solidarity.
