[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.

Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

Hey MAGA

How does it feel for Vivek Ramaswamy, the son of Indian immigrants and Elon Musk, an immigrant, to tell y’all that you’re lazy, mediocre, and can’t compete with foreigners to fill positions in the tech industry?

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

I’m no political scientist, but my common sense tells me that if one candidate is staying on the exact same message she’s been on the whole time, while the other one is dressing up as garbage, saying “I’m not Hitler” and telling voters “I’m only here because it helps me with Latinos,” the guy who is flailing around is the guy who thinks he’s losing.

There’s a reason why the trump campaign hasn’t made more of a stink about the so-called “assassination attempt.” Because the more they draw attention to it, the more questions people ask. And the more questions people ask, the more they realize it was fucking STAGED.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

I wish to personally express my sincerest gratitude to whomever it is on the Trump campaign who convinced Trump it was a good idea to have him appear before the @NABJ. Whoever you are, you are a true patriot, and your country is in your debt.

[The Nation @thenation]

The rapid rise of Indian Americans is one of the most startling domestic events in 21st-century America. It’s also a deeply complex and consequential story, as @HeerJeet writes in this cover story for @thenation’s February issue. Read it here. https://t.co/IpBTdKCxZO

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

Here’s your reminder that 34 Senate seats are up for re-election in November, and 20 of those are Republicans. There is a chance to send several GOP Senators packing, or to pick up empty seats and make Manchin and Sinema irrelevant.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Rep. Lauren Boebert ignorantly claims that the Constitution is "not evolving" and that stating as much "spits in the face" of the founders. Maybe someone should explain to her what a Constitutional amendment is. RT IF YOU AGREE REPUBLICANS DON'T UNDERSTAND AMERICA!

@DannySword1 Condolences

[Zaretta Hammond @Ready4rigor]

Can I get an amen to this?! Building true learner agency is messy. We need to learn to be the personal trainer of our students’ cognition. Only the learner learns. Too many of our students are socialized into a pedagogy of compliance.

[Zaretta Hammond @Ready4rigor]

Hey @MllesrtaUrso I created this chart and have since updated it. It’s been renamed the Distinctions of Equity. DM for the new version. And, when sharing on Twitter…don’t forget get to give credit to the creator 🙂@NYSAFLT #nysaflt21

Why is it so much easier to arrest a Black man for holding weed than to arrest a sex trafficker who uses his Venmo to make payments?

"I've been looked over. I've been counted out."

Christina Clemons is overcome with emotion after making the US Olympic team in the 100m hurdles. ❤🏃🏾‍♀️

Jon Ossoff is a fantastic Senator.

That’s the tweet.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

In the 21st century, twelve years of school isn’t enough. That’s why under the Biden-Harris plan, community college will be free — and public colleges and universities will be tuition-free for families earning less than $125,000 a year.
