Apparently the 8th circle of Hell is Chromebook cart maintenance. 5 down, 8 to go. Good thing I’ve got my MLIS. #librarians #librarytwitter

facebook is bleeding money and followers, twitter is crashing - it's as though the powers that be want us to go back to reading *novels*

@pronounced_ing Can't wait to read this!

[The San Francisco Standard @sfstandard]

“We need to reclaim this history,” said David Lei, a long-time community activist and Chinese American historian. “It’s for remembering and learning from our ancestors.”

@lihanlihan explores the contributions of Chinese railroad workers in the 1800s. ⬇️

@elindqw @sfstandard Oooh! I am super into this topic!!! My grad studies research delved into policing and vice in SF Chinatown in the early 20th century. Can't wait to read!

Historian here to remind you that when the student body was predominantly white, world-class public universities like Berkeley charged no tuition. Today's student debt is a product of underfunding of education right as integration began to take place.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The average amount of debt forgiveness to businesses receiving PPP loans: $95,700. If we could afford to cancel hundreds of billions in PPP loans to business owners in their time of need, please do not tell me we can't afford to cancel all student debt for 45 million Americans.

Same, same, same.

[Icona @iconawrites]

Sir, that’s my emotional support stack of blank notebooks which I will never use because I’m too afraid of ruining them.

[Rep. Barbara Lee (Archived) @RepBarbaraLee]

Student loan payments are set to resume just TWO WEEKS from today—unless @POTUS takes action.

RT if canceling this debt would change your life.

🚨2ND HOME RUN OF THE NIGHT FOR @Jake_Gatewood2 🚨

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

The reversal of Roe will be recorded in the history books in the same nauseous tones as decisions like Dred Scott, Korematsu, Plessy, and Buck.

This is an institution that has legitimized slavery, concentration camps, and eugenics.

This decision is the same.

[Amanda W. Bergado @AmandaBergado]

@MelissaHITAP Yay! Congrats!!!

[Amanda W. Bergado @AmandaBergado]

@HistorianDiary @AdFontesNaturae @annatoledano Amazing! 👏 👏 👏

[Amanda W. Bergado @AmandaBergado]

Can totally relate... We are failing to tackle multiple big problems that have immense consequences for our children/future generations, and they know this.

[Rachel Martin @rachelnpr]

We talked to our 4th grader in very general terms, about Uvalde. When we asked if he had questions he started talking about how it was up to his generation to stop climate change - and I wondered about how he went from A to B but also, our children carry an unbelievable weight.

[Michele Norris @michele_norris]

Whatever you are feeling today — don’t run from it. Don’t hide it. Don’t shove it into a hidden space. Sit with it because the universe is telling you that this kind of violence — against children, against unarmed black men, against the psyche of a nation - is unacceptable

[Amanda W. Bergado @AmandaBergado]

@rcmidura Oh my gosh, what an amazing space! I love it!

[Amanda W. Bergado @AmandaBergado]

@MelissaHITAP Amazing! Congrats!!! I'm so happy to hear this!

[Jamaal Bowman @RepBowman]

Dear @POTUS,

Please cancel student debt.

Sincerely,
43 million Americans.
