"A student who takes Algebra in 8th grade is not only more likely to go to college but 4 times as likely to succeed through college" - grateful to be part of this statistic as a first gen student

[CREEED @CREEEDorg]

We’re excited to host a panel of regional education leaders on the work El Paso is doing to prepare students for college and to successfully complete their post-secondary education. #EduMattersElPaso #CollegeReadyElPaso

[Caroline Renard @carolinerenard_]

It’s Kamala, we don’t have time for the other stuff, pick your safe white man VP and let’s go lol.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, together with the unconditional release of hostages & the delivery of relief at a level corresponding to the dramatic needs of the people in Gaza, where a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in front of our eyes.

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

My name is Miguel, but a lot of my teachers called me Michael.
In 7th grade I finally had the courage to tell my principal that I’d like to be called by the name that my Latino parents gave me -- Miguel, not Michael.

To any student that is reading this, your identity matters.

@NopalitaMami @ApplePodcasts @selena_podcast @quincyjwalters @NopalitaMami this is still the podcast I recommend to everyone! I mentioned it when my org started planning a retreat for education leaders of color in TX and they are interested in doing a fire side chat with you. Do you do speaking engagements?

[Jaclyn A. Siegel, PhD @jacasiegel]

I love coffee. I love the way it tastes, the way it smells, and the way it makes me feel. I love going to a coffee shop and sipping on a dirty chai in the afternoon with a friend. When I consume coffee, I am doing it for pleasure, not for optimizing my capacity for labor.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

As someone who is still recovering from a gunshot to the head, I am heartbroken and infuriated that Ralph Yarl now faces a lifetime of recovery.

At 16 years old. For simply ringing a doorbell.

We cannot continue to be a nation defined by gun violence and injustice.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The effort to separate the officers who murdered Tyre Nichols from the system of policing that produced them is palpable.

Police killings in the US reached a record high in 2022. That has only been rewarded with more funding at the expense of schools, hospitals, housing, & more.

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

Worthless @GovAbbott dropping off people with no money and no means on Christmas Eve in 15 degree weather near the VP’s residence. How Christian of you, Greg Abbott. Being a heartless POS isn’t going to make you the next Republican President.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

This new commercial from Mothers Against Greg Abbott is one of the best political ads I’ve ever seen.

[Sarah Carpenter @LadyTenn]

CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Instead of simply applauding #KetanjiBrownJackson’s brilliance and composure while facing contemptibly biased and racist questioning, more white people need to stand up and help get racism out of our legislative bodies so that the next Judge Ketanji doesn’t have to endure this.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

The first Black woman nominated to the Supreme Court is a former public defender.

Our first voice on the Court in its 233 years has a career of standing up for those most in need.

Say it with me, y’all: Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

[Alma @AlmaERico]

@BriannaWu @deray The Mazda 3 hatchback was reliable for at least the 7 years I had it. Had to trade it in for a mom mobile.

[a grumpy noodle @blkgirlonline96]

We literally went from a panicky “KN95 masks are the only safe masks in this pandemic!! No cloth masks!!!” to a “lol u don’t need a mask, ur fine” in a span of like 2 weeks…it’s so ratchet out here

[Julián Castro @JulianCastro]

Two years ago a man, inspired by the words of Donald Trump, drove 11 hours to El Paso and killed 23 people, his deranged response to what he called “the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

It was the inevitable and terrible consequence of political leaders normalizing hate and bigotry.
